Nearly 200 Conservative bloggers were in the middle of a training session on data visualization when Occupy Denver launched their “surprise” effort to occupy the conference. The protest was a major fail in no small part because the Occupiers announced the “surprise” occupation attempt on Twitter.
When the Occupiers showed up they were met at the conference room door by dozens of cameras wielded by experienced bloggers.
The attempted failed occupation attempted after a brief and very one sided debate. The Occupiers were outnumbered, outclassed and totally incapable of articulating what was the point of their so-called protest. After about five minutes of chaos the Occupiers retreated from the conference facility with only one of their sorry group being arrested.
You can watch raw video of the chaos below:

Apparently, the protestors returned a few hours ago.

They say Republicans are for the rich, Democrats are for the poor.
If they need more voters,
then they have to make more of who they are for.
We are there in the various Tea Party groups, leaderless, but not rudderless.
We steer always toward the Constitutional principles this nation was founded upon.

Ok folks, 2012 is here. Get involved
Thanks - it was more hidden than that though

A vitory for us...
takeourcountryback Saturday, November 12th at 1:24AM EST (link)That’s good for Team Us, and we should enjoy all the victories we get, it’s true. These darned socialist young people! When I were young, I wasn’t so stupid. I’m not sure what’s wrong with these kids who think the wold is on for them with a silver platter. They listened to much to their Socliaist in Chief! In any case, I can’t wait until we get Perry or Gingrich or Cain into our White House and let these idiot liberals never protest again (if that were possible! Stupid idiots). But yeah, if we can keep on winning these little battles against these DEADBEATS then we will have a great 2012! Unlike those darned Mayans! The only thing I’m concerned about is that we might have to vote for that RINO Romney. I don’t mind the whole weird religion thing, but I wish he was more convicted in a conservative fashion. But if he can beat Mr. Socialist Guy then I’m fine by him.
Great!

It's about time decent people fought back
renl57 Saturday, November 12th at 7:59AM EST (link)These OWS marauders need to be shown that we conservatives are not like those guilt-ridden liberal mayors and college deans they’re used to dealing with.
I think we should get the word out to the GOP: The next time that OWS tries to disrupt a Republican from speaking like they did to Michele Bachmann a few days ago, the GOP should be prepared to deal with it appropriately.
We don’t need or want a repetition of 1968.
