Anarchists or agents provocateurs?

I think those "anarchists" are jerks -- but I do wonder about something.
Before the trashing, the news minimized the number of demonstrators and
didn't seem to take them all that seriously. The trashing certainly got
the media's attention! To tell you the truth, I was more embarrassed by
people dressing up in squirrel suits. I hate that hippie-dippie cute
stuff.

You could say the 'carnival' factor humanizes the
event, makes it less threatening, without in any
way inhibiting the force of the shut-down. The
usual corporate whores will distort and ridicule
any sort of demonstration. A fellow named Everett
Ehrlich, former Administration official and in his
younger days member of a communist rock-n-roll
band (sic), was particularly revolting this a.m.
on NPR.
I say bring on the bunny suits and all. The joke
is on the other side.
