| "A group called the 'Hedge Clippers' organized a protest in front of the building where hedge fund manager Dan Loeb lives, to protest his funding of Republican control of the state senate, as well as charter schools. This is the kind of political activism that was common in the late 1960s to protest the war in Vietnam, but has seldom been seen in this country since then." A story on WBAI reported the protest rally: "Shame the hedge fund billionaires, go where they live and demonstrate. This technique was used in Latin America called 'escrache', but used in New York City, it's called 'Hedge Clippers'. Activist Nick McMurray says Hedge Clippers keep the movement going.
