You Just Might Be A DimWit: Community Organizer Edition
Sacre bleu! When even the Gawker mercilessly mocks your effete douchebaggery, it's fairly safe to conclude your attempts at effecting social justice via 'democratic consensus' have been somewhat less than effective:
"You may not come in here. This is student's free space," says the cameraman, as a security guard pulls apart the flimsy barricade that the administration had chosen to leave in place for the past two days. As soon as the guard sets foot in the food court: "Excuse me, brutality here. You are on camera...Do not use brutality. You may not detain us, you are on camera!" This, as two security guards were moving away from him. "We deserve to be explained what is going on," he says to several bored-looking cops. Here's what's going on dude: you're not actually allowed to take over buildings. Believe it or not.(Also: "We need to look at the situation, the hierarchy, the power relationship here." Okay: you're surrounded by cops.)
Watch and weep:
But... but... as long as we try really, really hard you can't deny us what we want!!!! Academy Award for unintentional irony:
"We're using the democratic process here... I don't know if you understand that"We're using consensus here, and the way that works is that they come back here and report to us on what the disciplinary procedures are and we collectively decide ... we collectively decide... listen! we need to collectively decide how to proceed and we need our people here in order to do that...
[administration moves silly barrier aside and enters room]
"We want our negotiators back."
"They're not coming back."
"We have the right not to cooperate with you until you explain what you're pursuing here. What are you pursuing here?"
"...We want to negotiate in good faith with you."
"This is not a negotiation. We're explaining the disciplinary proceedures that are going to be applied in this case..."
"That will only happen if you agree to negotiate with us at this point... in this room."
"No it won't."
"Okay... well we're here in this room and we're welcoming discussion and dialogue...We will not cooperate with you and we need to use a consensus process to move forward... You need to give us some time...this is directly democratic, OK? And you're making everyone very upset..."
"...There is no negotiation. You need to just leave."
"You need to use earmuffs..."
"We have lawyers!!!!!"
MEIN GOTT IM HIMMEL....WHY DO YOU PEOPLE HATE DEMOCRACY???
Update: Tragic clue bus accident: another of Obama's "community organizers" has a disturbing encounter with folks unsympathetic to the whiny culture of entitlement the Obamas seem so fond of encouraging:
Here is what the MSM won’t be telling you about the so-called “victim” in that case, ACORN worker Donna Hanks — all based on public records and court documents.According to real property data search information, Hanks bought the two-story home in the summer of 2001 for $87,000. At some point in the next five years, she re-financed the original home loan for $270,000.
Question: Where did all that money go?The house initially went into foreclosure proceedings in the spring of 2006. In July 2006, Hanks filed for bankruptcy and agreed to a Chapter 13 plan which was served to the following creditors: Americas Servicing Co, Bank Of America, Chase, Covahey, Boozer, Devan & Dore, and Discover. She agreed to repay $10,500 in arrears, which resulted in a halt to the 2006 foreclosure.
But we collectively agreed via direct democracy that I have the right to stay in my house!!!

Good grief. You know why they took the food court; so they wouldn't starve. Liberals have no principles.

Truly inane. "Hey Hey! Ho Ho! Cold french fries have got to go!"
If the decision to forever release into the public domain the videographic evidence of such an utterly pathetic attempt at relevancy was made collectively, like, you know, by using consensus, like, you know, the democratic process, then such a concentration of idiots does not auger well for the future of the Republic.
On the other hand, if the camera-dude decided to make laughing stocks out of them all strictly on his own, then we may be witnessing the birth of comedic genius.
Life is waiting, boys and girls.
And it has big, scary, teeth.

Oh, let me catch my breath.
I really hope this goes viral - I'd love to see the reaction of the truly oppressed waxing poetic over the multiple macbooks, clean, fresh water, spare clothing, etc... these "freedom fighters" brought along with them. No doubt they refuse to produce ID because when mommy and daddy find out this is how they're spending their free time at college, it's back to the basement.
OK, I have to go to the loo now - can't stop laughing.

I hope the young lady timidly displaying the dual "V-for-Don't-Shoot-Me" signs regains full circulation in her hands -- some of the pooled blood may eventually transport oxygen to her remaining brain cell.

WoW! What an abomination! These kid are so ridiculously ignorant it is SCARY!! Where did they learn all those big words that they clearly do not understand? Lotta chatter, no substance...reminds me of another Community Organizer!

The best part:
"Come together guys, we only have 10 minutes to decide. Seriously guys we need a consensus and we only have 10 minutes. We need consensus here!
Now we have to decide if...Fred? Fred...Fred! Where are you going?
Fine Fred, we'll decide without you"...
Fred got booted out of the 'Democratic Consensus!'
I blame 'Corporate Water.'

Direct democracy: harder than it looks :p
Stay away from that corporate water. Nasty stuff.

Remember when see[ing] the violence inherent in the system was *meant* to be a joke?

You know Cass, that video at NYU is almost funny in that seems to be a parody making fun of protestors. I mean you can't make up lines like:
"They drink corporate water"
"We need to come to a consensus, who do we want to be the facilitator"
"As long as there are no weapons of force"
I can almost envision Cartman waking into shot and saying "I hate hippies".

Age of Aquarius I tell ya... only a half-rump short of a roast.
Maybe these best and brightest -BTW, don't retire and don't disarm- will move on to study at the William Ayers School of Explosives and Property Reclamation.
If so, we can look forward to them barricading themselves into properties, foreclosed, condemned or occupied...
Oh! Wait one!
Breaking News:
We are receiving reports over the wire that these same students, upset with their treatment at NYU and in an attempt to save face, have taken their protest to Fort Worth, Texas along with a copy of The Weather Underground Cookbook, First Edition... Ahhh, first edition?!
Now we are being told that they have taken over The Landmark Tower building!
There is a news helicopter on site. Let's watch as this drama unfolds.
Whoops! Well, they should have sprung for the latest version in the college book store. The revised, William Ayers and Cathy "one-finger" Wilkerson signed copy of the WU Cookbook.
Best and Brightest indeed.

you left out an obvious simile...UN Weapons Inspector (the protestors) and Iraq. Lots of talk. Nothing to back it up. This "demonstration" should be shown in every Foreign Policy 101 class
