THEY'RE STILL AFRAID OF THE HIPPIES

I noted below that a few GOP pols have spoken out against the Occupy Wall Street movement and on Friday, another prominent wacko did the same:
GOP Rep: ‘We can’t allow’ more coverage of Occupy Wall Street

The Raw Story

Rep. Peter King (R-NY) is upset at the growing movement and the media’s coverage of it, hoping that a modern day version of protests from five decades ago isn’t being recaptured now.

“It’s really important for us not to give any legitimacy to these people in the streets,” said King on Laura Ingraham’s radio show Friday evening. “I remember what happened in the 1960s when the left-wing took to the streets and somehow the media glorified them and it ended up shaping policy. We can’t allow that to happen.”

There was a dissenting regular panelist on yesterday's MTPress-a former GOP pollster if I'm not mistaken,who said, correctly, the GOP candidates are making a mistake and should embrace OWS and out-populist an easily out-populized Obama. But of course they won't.
Not in their nature, except for anti-elite Ron Paul.
