As was anticipated, Occupy Denver showed up at BlogCon, though a little earlier than expected. A handful of them tried to force their way into the conference, but they were turned away; but not before engaging some of us. Unfortunately, they didn’t bring their leader with them (looks like the $10 I spent on dog treats went to waste).
You can probably tell who is who, as far as BlogCon attendees and the so-called Occupiers. Steven Crowder and Stephen Kruiser can be seen engaging the Occupiers in the video below:
After 20 minutes or so of “occupation,” the protesters left the building, being followed by BlogCon attendees. I’ll post more video from others as soon as they become available:
[UPDATE] The police did show up, by the way:
[UPDATE II] Julie Borowski just posted this video:
[UPDATE III] Via Ed Morrissey, at least one arrest was made (video of that here). And a high school teacher, apparently part of the OWS crowd, brought some students along with her. You can see some photos of the protest over at Publius Forum.
[UPDATE IV] Welcome Instapundit readers!
That second video, when she said “They suck a protesting”, I LOLed. (I can’t believe I just wrote “I LOLed”).
I’m not a fan of OWS or anything, but “Occutards” is as childish as “Tea Baggers.”
Yeah, maybe so. Just the same though, they were behaving stupidly and deserve to get called on it. And you and I both know the connotation of “tea bagger.” It’s a bit different.

Fair point. Actually, I wrote a blog post once about the word “retard.” Hate speech? If you’re interested: http://bamatone.livejournal.com/289358.html
The occupiers poop where they sleep, don’t bathe, and enthusiastically spout illogical gibberish that you can watch on YouTube all day long.
They seem to be mentally impaired. Occutards fits them perfectly.
I would be willing to bet Shelby, their elected leader, doesn’t poop where she sleeps!

Crowder’s a big kid. Don’t mess with him.
When the OWS people shouted “mike check” I was wanting the cons to yell “gun check” and everyone draw a gun and chamber a round. Yeah I know, but I can dream can’t I?
The only arrestee happened to be the only black guy there? Can that be a coincidence?
This side/that side. Clownishness/Seriousness. Does any one of you know anyone who is really suffering through no fault of thier own?
Here is an Occupy Denver March on the 16th Street Mall in Denver a few weeks ago. “I HATE EVERYTHING”.
