You mean like the tea party? (Not meaning to flame, but it looks that way to me from the outside.) Though I think masses of people in general are easy to manipulate; disappointed people just provide a certain attack vector instead of others that are just as effective.

It's also an interesting idea to suppose that all the protests are inter-related however loosely. To me that just sounds a lot like people fearing the end of the world "because we have more natural disasters now than ever" when in fact they're just being informed about them more.
