FAIRFIELD, Conn. – A busload of activists — outnumbered 2-to-1 by reporters and photographers — are paying visits to the homes of American International Group Inc. executives in Connecticut to protest tens of millions in bonuses awarded by the company.

About 40 protesters parked at a cul-de-sac Saturday afternoon and walked to the Fairfield home of Douglas Polling. They were met on the curb by two security guards, and one activist read a letter detailing the financial struggles that many Connecticut residents have faced. The group then left the note in Polling's mailbox.

Man, the things we could do on a bus full of progressive liberal/Socialist/Commie/enemy of America/etc. wackos.

"Progressive" is their word. They are nothing of the sort, actually more like regressives. Don't let them define the terms of the debate...call them what they are.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

“They won’t stop until they cause a civil war...”
I was thinking the same thing. Especially if they continue to screw with the Constitution.

Even if the cops *do* know the law, the probability of them enforcing it is low.

It IS Kristalnacht in the making. Very very bad, so terribly irresponsible of Congress and little o to scapegoat these people who RECEIVED the actions of Congress and little o.

I have no problem with the ACORN goon protesting at AIG crooks’ houses. I’d just like to see people protest outside ACORN leaders’ homes as well.

Both groups have robbed America blind and helped create a financial catastrophe. In my book, AIG and ACORN are both enemies of America and Capitalism.

Just got back from Wilton, CT. Went down to the AIG Building to wait for the thug bus to come. 2:30 the Chieppo Charter pulls up and about 20 came off carrying signs and chanting “Main Street not Wall Street”.
All three networks were there to cover the non event. Chanting peeps were equal to the press, cops and security guards.
Did not know there was an event in Ridgefield or would have come over!

” This is a rent-a-mob of left wing jerks. “

Which, the protesters or the reporters and photographers?

Never mind, I know.
