Occupy Wall Street will hurt Obama in the general election.

This is one part of the big political mess of 2012 that I believe many on both sides have overlooked. Occupy Wall Street; that rag tag band of disheveled, Robin Hood wannabes, who hate Capitalism. They will be out in full force this spring and summer and are also planning on making a loud appearance at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, like a screaming, whining child tugging on his mommy's shirt in the grocery store yelling "I want candy!".

Public opinion polling late last year (before the Occupiers went into hibernation) indicates an overall distaste for the movement. This is most likely due to the thousands of arrests, violence, nude dancing, hate crimes, defecation in public, rapes, and overtaking of public businesses. I think it has to do with the overall anti-Capitalist, "dirty hippie" aura in general.

Other than the left wing, anti-authority college crowd, the majority of Americans are turned off to the Occupiers. How does this factor in to the election?

As already pointed out, The Occupy Wall Street movement is already planning for a major spring and summer offensive. As the weather heats up, so too will the protests. And these raucous, violent, Proletariats will be plastered all over the left wing media. In a bout of hilarious irony, the liberal media will actually do the opposite of their intentions, as we saw late last year. The more media coverage, the better. So all of America can see the despicable behavior of the left. It will be on their TVs. It will be in their newspapers. It will be on the Drudge Report and CNN and ABC. In an effort by the reporters liberal activists within the mainstream media to strengthen the Occupy Wall Street movement by bringing their cause into every American home, they will only expedite its demise. I find this hilarious.

These flag bearers of the far left will only serve to hurt the perception of liberals and Democrats over the course of this year through their continual violence, immaturity, and anarchist behavior. What's better, Barack Obama has already openly declared his support for Occupy, saying, "We are on their side."  Want a smoking gun? There you have it. I can think of no other more powerful piece of ammunition to use in the campaign against Barack Obama. (that the general American public will recognize anyway)

So as the toils of the 2012 political season press on, just wait. Wait for the hippies to crawl back out from under their pink rocks, so they can start screaming, and whining, and complaining about rich people again. And you can bet they will focus their anger towards the Republican candidate, whoever that will be. Even better.
