Repeat after me… I [state your name]

What WAS that?–Woodstock for Village idiots?

As for why the crowd keeps repeating what McKibben is saying, for those that don’t know, the police have prohibited all forms of sound amplification. The demonstrators have taken to using what they call the “human microphone”—speakers address the crowd in short phrases which are then repeated across the crowd as many times as is necessary for all in attendance to hear what’s being said.

“As a member of Occupy Wall Street, I have a VERY strong opinion about Global Warming! Now excuse me for a few minutes while Bill McKibben tells me what it is.”

Marek and othes, I’d believe that if I hadn’t seen video of people doing the call/response thing to a guy with a megaphone and people on stage talking with microphones.

Thank God for the internet, by this means alone are we finding out just how crooked our politics are on both side of the pond and how weirdo’s who have never had a “proper job” or left the halls of academia are lining their own pockets using tax money. My taxes are higher than they need to be, due to these “nuts”. There is Chris Huhne in the UK saying utility companies should drop their bills, but saying nothing about the extra “green” taxes, people will freeze to death this winter. “Save energy” is the cry on the one hand, whilst there is talk of raising the speed limit in the UK for Motorways, Does not compute unless you are a moron!
Keep going everyone, fight and tell at every turn.

Very Monty Python

It’s another dirty trick to undermine climate science by reporting what these people actually say and do.

So what is the behaviour the “chanters” are exhibiting at the Climate and OWS rallies? Let someone else put words in my mouth and I will repeat them? Let someone else do the thinking for me because I can not think for myself?
This is truly odd behaviour.

What is that wonderful saying…”Time to cull the herd”!

WUWT gave a link to “Occupy Wall Street” a couple days after it began. (It was in a comment.)
I followed that link and have watched the movement ever since with a sense I was following something much bigger than a few crazies tripping.
The crazies are there. There is also something much deeper which is having an effect which could become momentous.
Today, Krugman in the N Y Times appears to be saying much of what I feel.
Laugh, sure; but keep up with it just in case it is history in the making. You would not want to miss that.

Roger, I’ve never understood what OWS is all about. Wall Street and Big Banking didn’t bail themselves out. Big Banking didn’t want to make loans to people who couldn’t afford them. The OWS people need to learn about the Community Reinvestment Act and how the Justice Department under the Clinton Administration threatened to sue banks if they didn’t start making loans to people who couldn’t afford them. Sallie Mae and Freddie Mac started underwrote most of those loans and then bundled and sold them as securities to the investment firms, telling them not to worry, the federal government would back the loans if necessary.
The housing boom and bust, the Wall Street bailouts and bank bailouts simply would not and could not have happened without government interference. Put the blame where it belongs – Congress, the Bush administration and the Clinton administration and the Federal Reserve.
