Less than a dozen protestors showed up for the promised day of rage at wall street. Either people are not enraged, or, more likely, they decline to swallow the story that Fanny, Freddie, the FHA, and the rest of the government alphabet soup now merged into FHFA were poor innocent victims led astray by the manipulations of their evil wall street partners.
Four years ago, it became apparent that vast sums of money had mysteriously disappeared. Yet no protests against wall street, apart from the usual SEIU astroturf. On 2011 September 2nd, the Obama regime announced a massive lawsuit blaming wall street for all of this. Lo and behold, a day of rage against Wall Street is promptly scheduled for 2011 September 17.
I predicted we would see the usual astroturf rentamob and some fires and broken windows, but, contrary to my prediction, no rentamob, and without a rentamob, no one shows up – which tells us how much traction the blame-wall-street story is getting.
Recall Obama’s boast and threat against Wall Street: “My administration is the only thing between you and the pitchforks.!” Who is standing between Obama and the pitchforks?
According to a sympathetic news source, thousands showed up – which they illustrate with a photo of nine.
Chick’s sunglasses match her banner. Surely that counts for something.
Unless she was coached.
“Who is standing between Obama and the pitchforks?”
Only the Secret Service, at this point.
