Two demonstrations, One City

There is a far-left group called "A New Way Forward" Their political agenda is to nationalize banks (for our own good of course). From their website:

12 million unemployed. Foreclosures up 81%. Wall Street has taken over. We must break up the banks and never again let them get so big that they distort our politics and take down the economy.

They had scheduled a bunch of demonstrations today (April 11th) to counter all of the Tea Party demonstrations scheduled for the 15th. Here are two demonstrations, same city, same blog reporting. Check out The Gateway Pundit:

The Big Fail... New Way Forward Loses Its Way In St. Louis
The Far Left A New Way Forward protests were held across the country today. These protests were must break up the banks and never again let them get so big that they distort our politics and take down the economy. They were also organized to counter the Tea Party protests that are drawing thousands of Americans out to protest the historic and dangerous binge spending by the current government.

Today the New Way Forward protesters were hoping to make their voices resound in those closed-door meetings with the bankers.

So how did they do?
They failed.
