Occupy DC protesters took their anger out on Americans for Tax Reform president Grover Norquist by protesting in front of the Washington D.C. non-profit's 12th street office on early Thursday evening. DC's Metropolitan Police cruisers stood nearby as demonstrators chanted, "Occupy Wall Street. Occupy K Street. Occupy everywhere and never give it back."

"We are here today to protest against Grover Norquist and Americans for Tax Reform, because they're obstructionists, and they impede the flow of the democratic process. Their philosophy, which has pigeonholed Republican politicians into a corner, and say that compromise on increasing taxes for anyone--individuals and corporations alike-- is unacceptable in their minds," said the Occupy DC organizer to his fellow protesters.

"We say, that in a democracy you can't have these rigid ideologies. What you must do...we must come together as a country to real solutions that everyone can agree to--that when you stick to your ideology to the death, you cause the death of the country. You cause the death of democracy. You cause the death of people's rule," he added.....

They're getting paid $650 a week for this?

Those Occupation Nazis are clueless. Other than freebies paid for with someone else’s money, they don’t know what the hell they want.

I’d protest Norquists office myself, but for other, actually substantial reasons (like he’s a hypocrite RINO traitor.)

Agree.

RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it." Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)

“We say, that in a democracy you can’t have these rigid ideologies”

Uh, that’s not democracy, that’s statism/fascism. What a bunch of lazy loons.
