September 17 was supposed to be the Day of Rage, the starting point of an anti-capitalist revolution that (in theory) was going to sweep the country coast-to-coast. As I noted yesterday, “The plan is to protest in state capitals and major cities across the nation, but the focus of the revolution will be in New York, where a hoped-for 20,000 anti-capitalists will ‘occupy’ Wall Street.”
I dutifully sent my operatives out to cover what were to be three of the largest Day of Rage protests — in New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles — so humanity would have a full record of this pivotal moment in history.
Really, I should have learned my lesson by now: The bigger the build-up to a protest, and the more grandiose the promises, the louder the sound of the bellyflop onto the dustbin of irrelevancy.
In other words: “Day of Rage” was a massive FAIL.
This photo essay includes photos from all three protest sites (NY, SF and LA) integrated together, to give you the feel of the fizzled revolution as a whole...

ZT has some nasty photos at times. But, more to the point, the idiot left is fizzling out.

"Decentralize Everything" I actually like the sentiment - I wonder if this goofball has any ideas behind it?

I’m a bit confused - the smiley lady has the “Dump Obama” sign with a Hitler/Chaplin mustachio.

That was the takeback I got. Remember the beginning of the Iraq War, when they could put tens of thousands of people on city streets at a few days’ notice?

She’s a LaRouchite. They’re essentially a political cult that transcends normal left/right political distinctions, and has achieved their own nonlinear level of craziness.
To: MeNeFrego
Hysterical piece. Funny writing.
How do you screw up this quote? More evidence that the idiots showing up to these things have absolutely no idea what they are talking about. What dopes.
If this was the turn out for this event, I wonder how many lefties will turn out to vote for Obummer? Not many I would say.

It's like someone took the original quote, ran it through google translator from English to Russian to Italian and back to English.

This one has me second guessing my lifelong commitment to misogynistic heterosexuality...

No rage? Wait, I know ... Day of Miffed ... or Day of Really Miffed.
