if they would have called the tea party on this before they went....probably would have got around 100,000 instead of 30

Glenn Beck recently sold his home in New Caanan, Connecticut. He’s in the process of moving to Texas. Can’t say that I blame him one bit.

“I worked in a small Norwalk manufacturing company for 15 years until it was forced to shut down a year ago,” Daisy Franklin told the crowd, using a bullhorn.

Well, geez Louise, Daisy. Let me guess.....liberal politicians in Connecticut raised the taxes on your employer repeatedly until the point your employer had trouble making a profit? Left-wing environmentalist wackos imposed burdersome regulations and fines on your employer? Liberal attorneys harassed your company with frivilous lawsuits so they and their corrupt clients could win the lawsuit lottery? You and your union pals demanded more and more pay and benefits while doing less and less work, making it next to impossible for the manufacturing company you worked for to turn a profit?

Am I getting warm, Daisy?

I've been in New Caanan many times and the Fleabaggers would not fit in. . . absolutely gorgeous area of Connecticut.

The people living there are very protective of everything to do with their community, even their playgrounds. . . if you're not a resident, stay away.

It's a pleasure to just imagine how they are reacting to these people. : )

I hate staged news ops, especially when the media works to hide the staging. Why I seldom even watch TV news.

From the article:

The independent political group... As reported by the Daily New Caanan News ... Connecticut Working Families Party, which organized the rally.

Probably no one noticed that the WFP is a socialist/communist party dedicated to state control of everything.

Odd that the only Daisy Franklin that I can find in Norwalk CT is this lady:

“Daisy Franklin – Vice President, Public Housing Resident Network”

Hmmm ... Commies wouldn't lie to advance their agenda, would they?

Interesting,

Seems they are planning even more organized protests, Move on initiated.

link

Today, MoveOn.org is holding a planning meeting in Manhattan to discuss ways to take on Wall Street in coordination with Occupy Wall Street.

..."How is this connected to Occupy Wall Street? Our goal is to launch targeted local campaigns to complement the amazing work being done by brave Occupy Wall Street protesters –something MoveOn members around the country have been asking for.

Yes, and to add to that, New Canaan is a very conservative / Republican town. Can’t remember the last democrat voted into office.
