Chamber of Commerce runs against Occupy

One of the surest ways to lose an election is to run against Occupy. Remember what happened to those 4 Cincinnati City Council members? And what about that right-wing idiot in North Carolina who attacked his opponent for speaking to Occupy Raleigh?

The L.A. Area Chamber of Commerce apparently didn't learn shit from these experiences. They're running an ad assailing Los Angeles City Council member and mayoral candidate Eric Garcetti for his apparent support of Occupy.

I have no idea whether Garcetti actually supported Occupy or not, and Los Angeles City Council isn't exactly the most liberal bunch around. I do know this: The Chamber of Commerce's commercial lies about Occupy by accusing them of "leaving behind 30 tons of trash." This is a claim that was discredited.

Whoever the liars at the Chamber of Commerce support for mayor probably just lost the election because of this ad. In fact, folks have commented that now they're voting for Garcetti because of his supposed Occupy support.

For not being an electoral organization, Occupy has a damn good record at defeating opponents at the polls.
