Even Democratic politicians are getting sick of the Marxist freaks in the Occupy movement.

At a tense press conference that started at about 4:45, Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed said some people associated with Occupy Atlanta are on “a clear path to escalation” after an unauthorized hip-hop concert over the weekend and an incident in which a member of his staff was shouted down during a television interview.

Reed said he will revoke the executive order allowing Occupy Atlanta protesters to stay in Woodruff Park until Nov. 7. He did not say when that would occur, but said it would be at the time of his choosing and the city’s fire and police departments would be ready to clear the downtown park at his command…

At the press conference, Reed said he planned to give a group of clergy — some of whom joined him at the press conference at City Hall — time to meet with the protesters and work out a solution.

If that doesn’t happen, “we are going to clear the park,” he said.

At various points in the press conference, Occupy Atlanta protesters interrupted Reed and accused him of spin and of exaggerating the threat to citizens. Reed did not take the bait.

Good for him.

How extreme is this movement? Just 45% of Democrats — the most sympathetic demographic — have a positive view of the Marxist freak show. That compares to just 33% of Independents.

When you break down the positive or negative views by age demographics, Occupy maxes out at 37% positive. Like I’ve said before, fringe.
