Occupy Drama Queens experiencing mass hysteria.
Occupy Chicago leaders claim Occupiers are at risk for PTSD:
The insulated, self-important Occupy protesters – with whom Chicago Teachers Union leaders recently declared their “front and center” allegiance – risk developing post traumatic stress disorder, according to their leaders.
All of that daily pouting and shouting can really wear on a soul, they say. And the best way to deal with it is to have a good cry.
Oh Pleeease! Occupy some self respect will you.
Reality check:
Hey OWS we got our PTSD from doing something for the country. How do you claim you got yours? Oh yes you got off the couch and walked wow!

Snap to OccuWhiners, and heed the words of the agitators Godfather himself; Saul Alinsky:
Rule 6: A good tactic is one that your people enjoy.
Rule 7: A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.
You’re welcome.
Now see yourselves out, so I can call in the Hazmat and CDC teams.

The sort of unrest seen in the anti-Wall Street movement comes directly out of Alinsky’s secular bible called Rules for Radicals.
Alinsky hardly was squeamish about using filth to get his way. “If your organization is too tiny even for noise, stink up the place.” Later, he gave a fictitious but oh-so-literal example of one way to do it: He suggested that protesters gorge on beans before occupying a public building so that their — uh, their natural emissions — would literally create a stench. “In a fight almost anything goes,” he wrote. “It almost reaches the point where you stop to apologize if a chance blow lands above the belt.” Alinsky openly and exuberantly belittled the notion of ethics. All that mattered, he said, was whether your side is losing or winning. Only afterwards do you try to find an excuse for your illicit behavior: “The tenth rule of the ethics of means and ends is that you do what you can with what you have and [then] clothe it with moral garments.”
Critics have noted that the protesters often can’t even define what they are protesting, or that their “issues” are such a diverse hodgepodge as to be unintelligible. Again, this is straight from Alinsky’s playbook. The organizer, he wrote, “should search for and use the wrong reasons to achieve the right goals. He should be able, with skill and calculation, to use irrationality in his attempts to progress to a rational world. For a variety of reasons the organizer must develop multiple issues…. Multiple issues mean constant action and life.”
