Un-Occupy Portland introduces itself to Occupy Portland

Armed with snarky signs and at least one false mustache,
a group of about 10 anti-Occupy Portland protestors,
who called themselves Un-Occupy Portland, stood near Ankeny Plaza
to deliver a message to the Occupy movement:
"We're seriously annoyed, and we want you to stop."

As members of Occupy Portland gathered for a rally on the plaza,
the Un-Occupy protestors held signs with sayings such as
"We are the 98.999%. We are seriously annoyed with the 0.001%,"
"I'm bored and easily influenced," and "Un-Occupy Portland:
The 98.999% for Portland Police, Taxpayers and the City's Budget."

"Here's the problem: There is no consistent message,"
said Un-Occupy's self-described "actual, consistent spokesman,"
a construction worker who chose not to be identified.
"Their message is whatever the person standing beside you thinks their message is."

Why does the word "hobgoblin" keep coming to mind ?
