PROTESTERS STORM U.S. Senate Hart Office Building... LIVE Broadcast!

They are chanting:

"Tax the rich, end the wars!"

"We are the 99%"

I am so proud to be an American right now.

7. If only the Republicans had kept their promises on jobs, jobs, jobs
All these smelly, bongo-playing, dope-smoking hippies wouldn't be knocking on their doors.

"What is 'Things the popular media wouldn't say in a million years,' Alex?"

Correct, gratuitous. Make the next selection.

11. CNN was filming in the building and started to film the event
They also just interviewed one of the organizers who was with Veterans For Peace.

So we'll see how they cover it.

13. Is this the same group that stormed the National Air and Space Museum?
What's with all the storming of buildings in DC?

14. There was no "storm"
They walked in, unfurled banners and chanted their message. It looked entirely peaceful.

There was no storming that I could see.

17. Just remember that during the French Revolution some of those who
sent people to the guillotines eventually met the same fate.
