Occupy protests send GOP vote counting to secret location
Source: CBS News (Rob Mank)

The Iowa Republican party is moving its caucus night vote counting operation to an undisclosed location because of planned "Occupy Iowa Caucus" protests.

State GOP chair Matt Strawn was critical of the protests and said it's ironic that the Occupy movement is focusing on the Iowa caucuses. <snip>

Strawn said the party is coordinating with local law enforcement to ensure smooth operations next Tuesday at the 1,774 precincts around the state. <snip>

The location will be known to the campaigns, which will have representatives on hand to view the vote count, he said.

4. First, they tried to pretent Occupy was not happening. And by "they,"
I mean both political parties and their propaganda arm, aka mass medial


Then police departments, mostly in cities with Democratic mayors, started sending people to the hospital.

I don't remember the laughing part.
