Comedienne Infiltrates OWS Protests, Protesters Don't Notice

From Barrack Now:
I must admit, as I watched this video without any context, I thought the long-haired lady who got the bulk of airtime in this video was actually one of the Occupy Wall Street protesters. She seemed to fit right in. Perhaps that's why the real protesters left her alone. Any inclination they may have had to shut her down was likely suppressed by how truthful her message seemed to be. There were probably some in the crowd who wished she had more nuance but she essentially captures the essence of the protests.

Her name is Kelley Lynn and she is a comedienne who infiltrated the OWS protests for Opie and Anthony. The left wing site MediaIte has the video but Jon Bershad's commentary over there is quite lame. His contention is that Lynn was so over-the-top that the fact no one assaulted her should be proof that the OWS protests are peaceful. Uh, Jon, no one assaulted her because she was expressing the movement's lack of intelligence and coherence. She fit right in.

Be sure to watch until the very end. **MILD CONTENT WARNING FOR LANGUAGE**
