With hindsight gained by googling MoveOn and co-opt after the fact, I cant claim that nobody tried to warn me. Many websites with left and even liberal politics had said in so many words, Be wary of this organization called the 99% Spring. It is a Trojan horse for the Democrats. I just didnt read that anywhere in a timely fashion. Ive had a lot of stuff on my plate lately. Thats my excuse. And in my ignorance, I responded to some spam about nonviolent direct action training organized by MoveOn and got invited to this 99% Spring thing on April 10 at the Goddard Riverside Community Center in Manhattan. Somebody even called me all the way from San Francisco to make sure I was a sincere seeker on the left and would be attending, along with 120,000 others in training sessions around the country.
Which I did. The meeting was a few blocks from where I live. The spam said it was inspired by Occupy Wall Street. I wasnt sure what that meant, but I was vaguely hoping that whatever the 99% Spring was, it would start a chapter of Occupy Wall Street on the Upper West Side, conveniently near my abode, and agitate for the Democrats and MoveOn to move left.

This new meme is being used by the lazy useful idiot commies as an excuse for why they didn't crawl out of mommy's basement. "Dude, I would so totally have been there but I read that Moveon is a right-wing group."
Bump
The whole OWS/99% crowd is a fraud.
I think that about sums it all up.
This takes me back to my college days. I never misspent my youth being liberal, but most of my friends did. I went to many a meeting like this, silently rolling my eyes as hobby Communists try to take over the world in their spare time.

Of course, he himself is not an idiot or a tool. Not much.
