EDIT: All these X's, now I can play some serious Tic-Tac-Toe.
Did thousands of protesters chanting "Russia without Putin" take to the streets of Moscow and St Petersburg on Monday to challenge Vladimir Putin's victory in a presidential election which international monitors said was unfair? Because I'm not sure that was in there enough.

Even if they would, it still would be small number of people. Maybe even less when compared to people who hate Obama in USA.

Especially since the name 'Anonymous' has been perverted now.
Anonymous are not some dumb ass script kiddies that took down Sony. We are Anonymous.
You are Anonymous. I am Anonymous. The guy below me and the guy above me are Anonymous.
The modern word for that now is 'netizen' but originally we were called Anonymous.
"Anonymous" are just a bunch of attention whores that do stupid shit and use the established concept of Anonymous to pretend that they're doing their stupid shit for the good of the internet.
