RUSH: Is this an anniversary of Occupy Wall Street? This is the one-year anniversary of Occupy Wall Street. I want to take you back, ladies and gentlemen, to October 6th of last year on this program. Said I, your host…
RUSH ARCHIVE: I think, folks, the regime wants to run against Mitt Romney. That’s what I think. Here’s what I’m thinking. When do you think these Astroturf protests were first talked about, this Occupy Wall Street thing? How long have they been in the works, do you think? I have been asking myself this, ’cause this is not spontaneous eruption here. This is a well-thought-out plan.
RUSH: Yes, I recall this now. Occupy Wall Street. I thought the administration wanted to run against Romney from the get-go, and we went through the reasons: Big, evil Wall Street fat cat; Bain Capital; Romneycare. All during the Republican primaries I made this point. Interesting to go back and relive this. Now, here we are. We have a montage of Obama media people.
Again, this CNN guy actually tweeted out an Obama donation form! Hamby is his name, Peter Hamby. He tweeted out an Obama fundraising form in advance of an Obama visit to Wisconsin on September 22nd, Saturday (the day after the iPhone was released). People are just yawning about it. “Ho-hum, no biggie.” ‘Cause people know. Here is a media montage. The media is celebrating one year of Occupy Wall Street.
SOLEDAD O’BRIEN: Today marks the one-year anniversary of the Occupy Wall Street movement.

RUSH: Yeah, well, what’s going on with it? Is it something big out there? Is the Occupy Wall Street movement overwhelmingly in size? Let’s go to CNBC’s Squawk Box show this morning. Joe Kernen, the host, was speaking with correspondent Kayla Tausche about the Occupy Wall Street protest. Kernen says, “We saw a lot of police, a lot of photographers and a lot of reporters. And they’ve got a few more protesters, Kayla, at this point?”
RUSH: Oh, are they hoping! Oh, are they hoping they’ve got something spontaneous and real. They don’t. It’s a rent-a-mob. And if the ratio of media and cops and security people to protesters is one to one, then the number of protesters is tiny. But remember, it’s a rent-a-mob. There’s nothing genuine or spontaneous, just like there wasn’t a year ago when the whole thing kicked off.
