Mitt Romney tried to slip quietly into Philadelphia yesterday, but Occupy Philly was having none of it and turned out to make their displeasure with him known:

Members of Occupy Philadelphia and other groups protested late Friday afternoon outside a fund-raiser for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.

More than 100 people marched from the Occupy Philly tent city at Dilworth Plaza to the front of the Rittenhouse, a hotel and residential high-rise, and chanted, "Hey Romney, picture this, no more greedy politics."

Thinking Romney might enter through the rear parking garage entrance, the protesters marched around the block to 20th Street. While they were away, Romney strolled through Rittenhouse Square and walked in through the front door.

The fund-raiser was hosted by lawyer Charles Kopp of the prominent Philadelphia firm Cozen O'Connor.

A large contingent of police prevented the protesters from entering the building. No arrests or injuries were reported.

On Wednesday, nine Occupy Philly protesters were arrested during a sit-in at the Comcast Center. A 10th person was arrested outside.

At the Rittenhouse, the protesters posed for pictures with a large poster of Romney. Some carried mock campaign signs that read "Greed is Good! Romney-Gekko 2012," referring to the Michael Douglas character from the 1987 movie Wall Street.

Jamie Mondics, a spokeswoman for Keystone Progress, said the protest was organized Thursday.

"The fact that we were able to pull this off so quickly says a lot about how passionate people are here in Pennsylvania about tax cuts for the rich and corporate greed," Mondics said.

Patrick Miner, 26, said it was his first time joining an Occupy Philly protest. He said he had felt powerless during the debt-ceiling standoff between President Obama and Republicans in Congress.

"I think it provides a lot of people who feel powerless ... a chance to have a voice," said Miner, a structural engineer.

An engineer? But wingnuts keep insisting that Occupy supporters all have poetry and philosophy degrees. I'm so confused!
