Last night, some Vermont Occupiers slipped through the door of a Democratic Party fundraising event and reminded Dems that Republicans are not the enemy. They chanted "We are the 99%" and "Banks got bailed out, we got sold out" letting those in attendance know that the true enemies to democracy are the super powerful from both sides of the aisle.
@crzyltlmama it was at many, the results varied. Ron Paul accepted the mic check and then went along with it, and the crowd let them talk. When it happened to Bachman it almost turned into a fist fight (though to be fair, that might have been because half of the turn out to hers was mic-checkers).

in my opinion Democrats are worse than Republicans because it is well known that Republicans only represent the 1% whereas the Democrats claim to represent the masses but are doing back deals with the banks and corporation behind the masses back. Like Malcolm X said I have more respect for a man who does what he preaches (even if it is hate) than a man who preaches one thing and does another.

This was ingenious, and very effective. I believe it speaks volumes that the people at this fundraiser let the Occupiers speak and actually listened to them, and then applauded them. I wonder if this was tried at a Republican event, would have been arrested?
