Indeed. I haven’t seen or heard anyone in a hysterical snit except the protestors and those defending them.
"Hipster"? That term went out in the fifties. And "second wave" of protests? Try 150th wave - these moronic loonies protest something every other month trying desperately to be relevant, usually in San Francisco, home of the smelly grey-haired pony-tailed sandel-wearing raggedy-ass drugged-out hippie.

She sounded like that on her radio show with that Cambridge
councilman or whatever Jim Braude. Total airhead..
These moonbats are even more clueless than their 60’s brethren.
Become a monthly donor to Free Republic and another bitter clinger will donate $10 in your honor!
Is that you, Mark Morford?
Hell, I’m a boomer and I think these kids are great. You can’t find entertainment like this anywhere.
The simpletons will eventually get bored (and hungry) and go home.
(shrug) I’m out in the country and haven’t really paid much attention to these “occupation” protests but personally, I couldn’t care less if those morons want to trash Democrat parasite nests (”cities”) from coast to coast. The smell of urine, and litter blowing down the street... what’s new?
I find them hysterical, definately... but in a snit? nope.
I “missed” all the joys of hippidom the first time around and find the whole thing even more vacuous and inane today. At least in 1968, there was a draft, and a war that had serious casualty rates. In 1968, everyone who wasn’t attending an Ivy League school one knew someone who had been killed in Vietnam.
The only thing that ails these jerks is a complete lack of gratitude.
No I don't. I seriously doubt that she or the "hipsters" remember, either.
"...Maybe they were too goofy or nerdy or too busy reading Ayn Rands Atlas Shrugged to chant Give Peace A Chance with some gorgeous, braless, long-haired blond anti-war protester."
Highly unlikely, judging from archival footage and photos, most if not all of the "gorgeous" protesters looked more like angry screaming Janeane Garofalos or Rosie O'Donnels. I'm talkin' fell through the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down. And things have NOT improved!
"...In the end, it all comes down to money, sex or both. These guys have their millions. They want to keep them. And they missed out on the greatest era of no-strings sex in American history. Now these smelly long-hairs not them will be rockin in all those pup tents tonight.Life just isnt fair, is it?"
Fair to whom, I ask? What will these idiots have when this "occupation" has run it's course except funked out tents that would choke a goat and huge piles of their own trash and waste that someone will get the pleasure of dealing with?
If those are what passes for hip these days, hip has seriously deteriorated.
