10,000 Protesters in Chicago?
Economic Policy Journal ^ | October 24, 2009 | Robert Wenzel

Posted on 10/24/2009 6:17:18 AM PDT by Need4Truth

National People's Action Network has put out an email reporting that 10,000 people have signed up to protest this weekend at the American Bankers Association conference in Chicago.

This is really one mixed bag of protesters. NAPN, as I have previously reported (See here), is an ACORN want-to-be. I'm sure most of the anti-bank protesters don't have a clue about this.

Bottom line the radical left is attempting to co-opt the anti-big banker movement and fold it into an anti-capitalist message.

OK, you win. We’re closing all the banks now. You pinkos can get your food by barter.

That’s what this association gets for booking a convention in Chicago.

No group should go to Chicago if this group is harassed by class warriors. No group. Surely private resorts or hotels in the middle of Nebraska or Kansas or Wyoming could provide more security.

I like it. And announce a 90% cut in banking services commensurate with manager compensation.

Banks open 1 day a week, no free checking.

It doesn’t matter to these people that more than 100 banks have folded this year I suppose. What a bunch of commie morons!

“These people are too stupid to have pets.”

They’re pets themselves- “Teacher’s Pets”. Should Teacher’s Pets have their own pets and should those pets also be Teacher’s Pets in a long line of Teacher’s Pets from the Great Teacher on down?

“Oh Great Teacher, please call upon me for I am a devotee of the highest order. Forever your servant, I wait in the light of hope at your door.”
