"That’s very detrimental to the movement,” a leading organizer of the Thursday rally, Margaret Flowers, said in response to the statements from prominent liberals. “We don’t want anyone from the top driving this movement.”

She said she wasn’t surprised. “That’s what Democrats do. They pretend to be populists,” Flowers said.

Planned for noon at Freedom Plaza, the Thursday demonstration is expected to combine multiple protest movements. The central event, organized by a group called Stop the Machine, is a long-planned protest of the war in Afghanistan, timed for the 10th anniversary of the U.S. invasion as well as the beginning of the fiscal year. Its website, october2011.org, compares the movement to the Arab Spring and the union protests in the Midwest.

The Rs send some goon from the American Spectator to infiltrate a demonstration and cause violence. The Ds try to steal their message and bribe the leaders. Which is sneakier and more dangerous?
