It is funny that after the initial protest in Wisconsin the media is downplaying the protesters. Or worse, giving voice the legislators who call them slobs.
Think back to Obama's Health Reform Act. The protesters then, known as the "Tea Party" was a real movement, real people (paid for by the Koch brothers) You could not turn on a news station without hearing about Tea Partiers. They were a real political force. Politicians spoke for them. Also paid for by the Koch bros.
Maybe these protesters need to wear weird hats and give themselves a catchy name. Freedom party. Or Democracy party. Or middle class party.
