You know your movement is catching on, especially when the national media takes notice. In the month before the protests began the news media had something to say about “corporate greed” only 164 times. In the month since, there have been over 1800 references to corporate malfeasance.

 

You know your movement is starting to make waves when the other side starts to send agents provocateur into your midst, à la Scott Walker,in a deliberate attempt to cause trouble, grab media coverage to sabotage your message and hope the public will paint the whole movement as a mob of malcontents.

 

You know your movement is starting to cause a stir when Glenn Beck launches one of his wild predictions about the aim and outcome of your protests.

 

And, finally, you know your movement has sympathetic ears in the public when a former Congressman comes out in favor of your movement, gives voice to all your grievances in one neat little 30-second narrative, and receives a standing ovation.

Propie,

The crowds are of a few hundred to a couple of thousand --NYC, at most.  The MSM media will highlight a couple of dozen in DC, but almost ignore over 1 million tea partiers, the largest demostration in DC.  Living there for almost 11 years, I saw this again and again.

 

Scott Walker stated they thought of using outsiders, but didn't procede because it was a bad idea.  Please provide examples.  The crowd in NYC is attracting criminals who use them to hide out -- that's the main reason Giuiliani scattered the street vendors and enforced licensing. 

 

Glenn Beck -- still around?  Guess you are one of the few watching!  Does his audience exceed the 16,000 who watch Olbermann.

 

There are congressmen who will give their approval to anything -- media wh*r*esons.
