The streets outside the Marriot Wardman Park hotel in Washington DC were alive on Friday, February 10th, 2011, as protestors affiliated with Occupy DC, the SEIU, the AFL-CIO and a host of allied organizations descended on the annual Conservative Political Action Conference, also known as CPAC. Participants traveled from as far away as Pittsburgh and New York City to demonstrate against money in politics, income inequality and a profusion of crimes and abuses perpetrated against the poor, working and middle classes.
CPAC does little to hide the fact that it is a product of and for the elite rich, with a full pass to the conferences costing 200 dollars, a one day pass at 75 dollars and media passes only awarded to a select few that have passed a rigorous background check that would make the FBI jealous. Due to this, we weren’t able to cover the most interesting of these conferences, the tantalizingly named “THE FAILURE OF MULTICULTURALISM” hosted by anti-immigrant fanatic Peter Brimelow and the hate group Youth for Western Civilization. Viking fetishist Kevin DeAnna and alcoholic nuisance Marcus Epstein were present, while Rep. Steve King (R-IA) and notable xenophobe John Derbyshire delivered speeches. Predictably, they chose to cower behind security checkpoints, bulletproof glass and hundreds of non-white police officers instead of daring to wade into the sea of untermenschen. Also present were Kevin Lamb from the white nationalist ProEnglish, Tim Dionisopoulos from Youth for Western Civilization, Jim Gilchrist from The Minuteklanmen and notorious snitch Brandon Darby.

The specter of thousands of union steelworkers, maids and politically charged citizens exercising their fist amendment rights outside of a hotel was apparently enough to terrify attendees of CPAC, who hid behind phalanxes of riot police, barely venturing to the windows to snatch a peek at the lives they have been frittering away for the sake of greater profit. Referred to as the old stand-bys of “purveyors of chaos” and “union thugs” by histrionic fear-mongers in the right-wing echo-chamber, the demonstration on Friday was largely peaceful, despite vehement fulminations by apologists for the 1% to force all of these “welfare recipients” into “work camps and gas chambers.”
This has been the first major protest organized against CPAC in its nearly forty-year run.

God that video was cheesy ; ) Nice little article too!
Another masterpiece from the Town Hell Posse.
Good thing you mention at the end that this was not A Quinn Martin Production… because the classically-slick ’70s production values may have led some viewers to mistakenly assume that it was A Quinn Martin Production.
Quick Q referring back to your October 2011 piece on Infiltrators of the Occupy Movement — you tag Patrick Howley for the October 8th provo action at National Air & Space Museum in D.C.
So why nothing on Mike “Goatsred” Stack ??? He set this up with a distraction by pushing a guard, then yelling at a group of guards. That was what allowed Howley to carry out the trespass scheme, getting into the main display area without going through the metal detectors.
Air & Space had to be shut down for the day. Dozens of anti-drone protestors were pepper sprayed. Ambulances had to be called for the more seriously injured. Howley and Mike Stack got one helluva lot of bang for their buck.
You mean this guy?
I hadn’t heard anything about his involvement with the NASM disruption, and a quick google shows he’s linked to the Anthony Wiener scandal. The Smoking Gun seems to have more information on him than we ever will.
