Democrats and Democratic front groups like MoveOn.org are trying to channel the Occupy movement back into the system with such “Astroturf” actions as “Occupy the Ballotbox” and “Occupy the Primaries.” What bizarre co-option schemes can we look forward to next?

Occupy the Ballotbox – ballots make great kindling for a trashbarrel fire.
Occupy the SUVs….the same thing happened with all those hippies who went on to vote for Reagan in 1980
Technically, aren’t cops already 99%ers?
I’d guess at least 80% of the 99% don’t know, or refuse to accept, they are among the 99%’ers.
The next logical step is. Occupy, Occupy.
So the question for you falco is, if they are happy where they are, then are they really 99ers? or do they become 1ers due to adopting the ways of the one percent? You know, sort of how every successful black person who doesn’t rap for a living is an uncle tom and a sell out?
