This is really fun to watch. And as it gets colder it will be even more fun. The Dems really believe that by gathering together their union thugs and a bunch of uneducated hippy-types who have nothing else to do that they can 'spontaneously' generate a grass roots movement.

Well Marx said it would work that way so I guess it is worth a try.

Workers of the World, Unite. LOL.

Do any of these people really think that they will influence “middle America” or the “silent majority”, as Nixon described it?

The hippies and anti-war protesters of the late ‘60s and early ‘70s inspired revulsion in much of middle America. Though there was a debate to be had about our involvement in Vietnam, the protesters did not endear anyone to their cause.

It’s hard to see these latter day hippie radical types doing any better at inspiring middle America to the cause of radical change and being liberal. If anything, these protesters might actually hurt Obama’s re-election chances, if people associate this rag tag bunch with Obama.

People are going to increasingly equate all bad things with Obama. To the average voter who is paying attention, it will look the wheels are coming off. These nuts DO NOT gain sympathy when they make more than the average American and WE PAY THEM, and they are complaining. It won’t sit well.
