[thomhartmann]

Ben Manski, Democracy Advocate & Ben Zucker, participant-Occupy DC tenter join Thom Hartmann. The "Occupy" movement is mutating - it's no longer just parks and tents. The Occupy Wall Street movement - the granddaddy of them all - turned 4-months old Tuesday - and celebrated by occupying Congress. Over a thousand people swarmed Capitol Hill yesterday as part of a "day of action against a corrupt political institution" Peaceful patriots swung by the offices of Members of Congress - and demonstrated outside on the Capitol grounds. Later in the evening - roughly 1,500 patriots marched to the Supreme Court building to demonstrate against corporate personhood and the Citizens United ruling. And then the crowd marched to the White House to protest the new indefinite detention law the President signed

1. Yes, and the tactics to try to stop them are mutating also.

Stung by negative public opinion over the brutality of the robo cops sent out to try to silence the people by big city mayors, many of them Democrats btw, and images of Iraq War Vets wounded and looking like they were in Iraq rather than the 'Homeland', all serving only to increase support for the movement, the 'authorities' are now attempting to use the legal system to 'demonize' and 'criminalize' the 1st Amendment.

It should be no surprise that at the forefront of this new 'tactic' is non other than Rahm Emanuel.
