The New York Times finds the protests “annoying.”

The execution of Marie Antoinette. Talk about being annoying.

Some have claimed that the #occupywallstreet protests are unfocused in terms of issues.

Others, like Mitt Romney, say the protesters are engaged in class warfare. House leader Eric what’shisname says the same thing.

New York Mayor Blloomberg says they remind him of the Vietnam era. How? Well there were street protests then. There are protest nows. See? Same thing. Great intellectual, that Bloomberg is.

But only the New York Times would have the nerve to call them annoying.

How Marie Antoinette of them.

Thousands of labor and student protesters converge on Wall Street last week and the Times runs the story on page 18.

This morning they run a story on how the demonstrators have become inconvenient.

Quoting the Mayor:

“This is our little sliver of greenery that we reclaimed after Sept. 11. It’s now unusable. There is a general presence of incivility down there.”

Don’t you just hate it when people who have been foreclosed out of their homes become uncivil?

Totally.
