Most people try and avoid DWS like she has the bubonic plague, not so with the Occupiers.
(Guardian) — A newly-opened Democrat “war room” in Iowa found itself under siege on Sunday night, when a group of Occupy Iowa caucus protesters infiltrated the premises and demanded to meet senior Democrat officials.
Abour 15 protesters entered the base at the Renaissance Savery hotel, complaining they were being prevented from meeting with Democratic National Committee chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Some gained access to what the DNC is calling their war room — a centralised space set aside for providing press briefings during the Iowa caucuses — before being escorted out by police.
Dozens of Occupy protesters have been present at Republican candidates’ events during the last week, while 12 people were arrested on Thursday night after blocking the Iowa Democratic party headquarters.
“We just came to request an audience with the chair of the Democrat national committee,” David Goodner, from Occupy Iowa Caucus, told people outside the war room.
As hotel staff called the police, and two or three Occupy protesters managed to sneak into the room, Democrat staffers said Wasserman Schultz was not at the meeting, but said they would set up a meeting with “someone” from the party in the future.
