Polling the Occupy Wall Street Mob

Below, I am quoting longtime Democrat Douglas Schoen (former pollster for Bill Clinton). Schoen compares the 1970 violent and destructive protestors to the current Occupy Wall Street protestors. Schoen correctly notes that the 1970 protestors then represented the lunatic fringe of the Democrats. Schoen mistakenly believes the current Occupy Wall Street protestors are the analog of their 1970 counterparts. He’s wrong.

The Occupy Wall Street mob now represents the base of the Democrat Party. Schoen advises the Dims to distance themselves from this mob. They cannot and will not -- this is their base. In 2012, their own base will bring them down.

Today, Dims can only win elections by cleverly disguising who they really are. Obama won by pretending to be a moderate. Does anybody believe that anymore? The Occupy Wall Street mob has forced their hand. They can no longer pretend they are not radical Socialists. They are now forced to admit it. In doing so, the Dims will lose the Independent vote and, thereby, lose the 2012 elections.

For that, the rest of America owes a debt of gratitude to the OWS mob and all the affiliate mobs.

Quoting Douglas Schoen
at The Wall Street Journal:

“President Obama and the Democratic leadership are making a critical error in embracing the Occupy Wall Street movement—and it may cost them the 2012 election…

The protesters have a distinct ideology and are bound by a deep commitment to radical left-wing policies….

nearly one-third (31%) would support violence to advance their agenda.”
