In a quest for utter irrelevancy the Americans for Prosperity have decided to voice their objections to low grade photomags. Apparently the Time-Life Building is the center of all those things that threaten what Americans for Prosperity hold dear. And they will also use this venue to voice their objection to Americans faced with destitution wanting an actual chance at prosperity that are active in Occupy.
Activists from Americans for Prosperity plan to protest tomorrow morning outside the Time-Life building as part of group’s Failing Agenda Bus Tour, which is devoted to urging President Barack Obama to shun policies that increase the nation’s debt. Despite the group’s billionaire backers, the AFP describes itself as a grass roots organization. It has more than 2 million supporters nationwide.
In addition to the bus tour, the Americans for Prosperity is launching a $25 million ad campaign in support of Mitt Romney’s presidential candidacy next week, according to the Huffington Post. The group has already spent $15 million on ads attacking President Obama.
A spokesman for the group’s New Jersey chapter said the demonstration would serve as an opportunity to disavow Occupy Wall Street, the movement that professes to advocate for the 99 percent.
So paid protesters will be bussed in to show New York City residents they should not complain about ever creeping Fascism.
I wonder if they will get beaten, tazed, peppersprayed, and arrested?

ALERT: Americans for Prosperity to Stand Up to Occupy Wall Street Extremists at “Failing Agenda” Rally in Midtown!
**Thursday, September 20 at 10AM*
AFP Activists will Descend on Rockefeller Center to Combat Occupy Wall Street Radicals and Oppose Obama’s Failing Agenda!
NEW YORK, NY – Americans for Prosperity activists from all over the tri-state area will gather en masse in Midtown Manhattan tomorrow morning to stand up to Occupy Wall Street extremists and call attention to President Obama’s failing economic agenda.
“The Occupy Wall Street crowd is nothing but a fringe element of malcontents bent on mayhem and destruction,” slammed AFP New Jersey state director Steve Lonegan. “These are people who despise free enterprise. They are not attacking Wall Street. They are attacking the very freedoms that everyday Americans cherish to pursue their own dreams and succeed.”
“What the American people are really worried about is President Obama’s failing agenda,” said Lonegan. “They are worried about a failing agenda that is saddling future generations of Americans with trillions of dollars of debt and leaving them with a bleak future. They are worried about the economic destruction President Obama’s policies have had on the economy and on job creation.”
“It’s time that someone stood up to the Occupy Wall Street mob,” continued Lonegan. “Tomorrow, Americans for Prosperity activists from all over the tri-state area will do just that right in the heart of Midtown Manhattan.”
Americans for Prosperity’s rally will be held from 10:00-10:30 a.m. right outside of Rockefeller Center as part of the group’s national Failing Agenda Bus Tour.
