"    TAMPA, Fla. \u2014 What are the odds? She has long, curly gray hair, a batik shirt, a wrist full of silver and turquoise, and a legitimate ticket to a special RNC showing of Occupy Unmasked. Who&amp;#039;d anticipate she&amp;#039;d be turned away by a guy working a private security detail? &amp;quot;Your name is on our Occupy list,&amp;quot; he explained, pointing to the exit. No need to linger and find out how this little drama was resolved, lest you, too, lose a chance to view the documentary that exposes the Occupy movement, revealing the &amp;quot;sinister, organized, and highly orchestrated nature of its leaders and their number-one goal: not just to change government, but to destroy it.&amp;quot; So you clear the bag-check and make your way inside Liberty Plaza, the tented RNC event venue that bears an unfortunate resemblance to a Ringling Brothers retirement home. You clear it so well, in fact, that you&amp;#039;re mistakenly ushered into a private party sponsored by the Republican National Lawyers Association. You grab some cookies and a Special Convention Edition of the Republican National Lawyers Association membership directory, and you head toward the movie theater. But not before another little drama. A young woman, clothed like Miss America on a visit to a children&amp;#039;s hospital but with the grim expression of TSA inspector the day the airports reopened after 9/11, stops you and it&amp;#039;s not the cookies she&amp;#039;s worried about; it&amp;#039;s the membership directory. And suddenly it all becomes clear: Miss Truth and the American Way has been instructed to look for any paperwork that might unmask the bearer as a Subversive Political Element bent on mayhem and disruption. The National Lawyers Guild is providing legal support for protesters at both conventions, and the ACLU has distributed a toolkit giving instructions for how to protest legally. Doubtless Miss Motherhood and Apple Pie has been provided with examples of incrementing documents, and she is well-versed in what to look for. But the Republican National Lawyers Association Membership Directory has her stymied. It&amp;#039;s legal, sure, but it&amp;#039;s also Republican. Miss Support Our Troops picks it up, flips through the pages, turns it upside-down, shakes it, and then reluctantly waves you in. Sumner Redstone is a Democrat, which may explain why the &amp;quot;movie theater&amp;quot; is a temporary tent atop a bunch of folding chairs, which gradually began to fill, until you&amp;#039;re part of a crowd of about a hundred. The big draw \u2014 aside from the film \u2014 is Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, who is supposed to set up the film for the audience. A vision in only slightly rumpled cream, she appears unusually serene in the face of the Occupy danger. &amp;quot;My name is Michele Bachmann,&amp;quot; she says after she is introduced. Maybe Michele Bachmann is trying to assure you that Michele Bachmann has, indeed, been verified as genuine at the security checkpoint. It is a reflective Michele Bachmann who addresses you, a Michele Bachmann atypically in touch with the certainty of human mortality. &amp;quot;When people pass from this life to the next,&amp;quot; Michele Bachmann tells you, &amp;quot;there&amp;#039;s always one project they leave.&amp;quot; The late Andrew Breitbart, of course, has left you and Michele Bachmann not only this movie but also an unfinished metaphorical book \u2014 or chapter, Michele isn&amp;#039;t quite sure \u2014 on liberty.  If you tune out pre-moribund Andrew Breitbart&amp;#039;s instance on a vast Occupy conspiracy, and the soundtrack that blends Alfred Hitchcock-like special effects with the actual and annoying beat of the Occupy drums, you find the film a pretty bleak expos\u00E9 of the pathetic state of the contemporary American Left. It begins with a shot of Community Organizer Obama and, less you miss the point, it gets juxtaposed with a quote from Saul Alinsky. You find this perhaps a little too subtle \u2014 nobody mentions that, as far as community-organizing goes, Obama isn&amp;#039;t fit to clean Saul Alinsky&amp;#039;s workboots. You are then introduced to the mass support behind Occupy: hundreds of young people who were duped into believing they were going to see a free Radiohead concert. And you are introduced to their leaders: Roseanne Barr. Whoopi Goldberg. Whoopi Goldberg and the entire cast of The View. A masked Keith Olbermann, flinging a desk-full of papers at a television camera. You are introduced to the movement&amp;#039;s collaborative reporters at the New York Times. (Well, actually, one New York Times freelancer. It is truly terrifying to think that the Times reporters, who can&amp;#039;t even run their own union effectively, are the face of America&amp;#039;s labor movement.)  You are encouraged by the revelation from Occupy Unmasked that the Left is maintaining a secret cobra farm, where the rapidly multiplying reptiles are being trained to unleash Al Qaeda-like devastation upon you. But it&amp;#039;s been fifteen minutes and the lights have not come on and you take your Republican National Lawyers Association directory, and your stolen cookies, and you leave.
