Kanye came. So did Susan Sarandon. Russell Simmons.Al Sharpton. Has Alec Baldwin shown up yet to Occupy Wall Street?
Hmmm...might not be good for his commercial deal with TARP recipient Capital One .
Not everyone camping out is thrilled with celebrities making an appearance with Occupy Wall Street.
In this amazing video, civil rights pioneer John Lewis was denied the chance to speak at Occupy Atlanta. It's not just that the crowd said "no" to a legend because they don't want the message co-opted by any movement, but it's the way they voted which stands out. Everything said during the debate had to be repeated by the entire group. This way there's no "single voice" speaking for the whole. This makes the decision making process excruciatingly long. It may be egalitarian, but if this is how you want your government to work, I'd better start learning Mandarin.
