After a few minutes of standing at the podium and listening as the chanting ensued, Bachmann left the stage flanked by a police officer.
Bachmann later returned to the stage and told the remaining approximately 60 attendees, "Don't you love the first amendment?"
As the protesters left the event, they chanted, "We are the 99 percent!"

They certainly are accomplishing a lot these days. Occupy anything but as long as they don't have to have an occupation...
I'm from Charleston.....the Occupy protesters were pretty much the only people there to listen to her......It probably shocked her that 20 people came to protest and about 10 really came to support her....she needs to hang it up and quit. That small of a number is just embarrassing.
