Watch The Monty Python Movie " The Life Of Brian". Brian is addressing the crowd who thinks he's the Messiah and they repeat every word he says. He tells them they should think for themselves and they repeat it exactly.

Dang, I knew I had seen and heard something similar before, I just couldn't put my finger on it.

They look exactly like what they are.....a bunch of loons in the twilight zone.

I wonder what will happen when those demonstrators get tired of being treated like they're 5 years old. Will they understand what the democratic party is all about?

Default Occupy Atlanta

IF I was from Atlanta I would be embarassed by this bizarre event and its strange chanting/ritual. I am further baffled that so many mindless people think this is about our Constitutional Republic, freedom or true liberty. So few appear to research or pay attention to who organized, funded and is pushing for it to go violent. All the silly American Spring/Autumm/Revolution ect. ect. who seem to have forgotten what these same paid and protected thugs of the Gov't did in Seattle in "99", This whole thing is a sham and set up for exactly what real Americans don't want. When the violence erupts and they declare martial law and dead start piling up ask who will win? Who gains from the U.S. desolving into chaos? Who profits? What is this covering up? Looks to me like a gimongus herd of sheep just following the one in front not having a clue where they are going. And guess who laughs the most at you - Soetoro, Soro's, Rockefeller, Rothchild ect. aka the NWO. Like their MO states "Order out of chaos"..............

Almost as hilarious as watching these kool-aid drinking morons is the reactions of die hard lefties attempting to defend this Jonestown festival.

They were repeating what was being said so everyone could hear.

Does your clip show the senator's reaction? He said he wasn't offended at all that he was not allowed to speak.

After all, he's one of the people who should be doing something about the state of the economy and neither Senate nor House are doing anything except collecting their paychecks.

Why would this group want HIM to speak?
They don't want government getting it's smelly hands into what they are doing, and I agree with their decision. It's not a soapbox for politicians.

This is amazingly bizarre... Weird people that repeat each other and hand waving and just plain whacked... I would like to go there and scream out... "I am a human being, not a mindless bee that repeats itself because someone told them to"... These people are idiots, they don't know the first thing about public speaking... Repeating is a distraction... the distraction takes the message away and sinks it... oh well... at least they are having fun doing whatever they are doing... I hate to strand them on an island together... I think I opt to leave the group and move to the other side of the island...

Did you mean Congressman John Lewis? Why would he even want to speak to these drones? I think they were quite rude to an elected official.
