Zaid Jilani, Think Progress.org join's Thom Hartmann. One day after Occupy Los Angeles was evicted - the L.A. City Council plans to pick up their message. Next week - the city council will be voting on a resolution calling for Congress to amend the Constitution to end corporate personhood - one of the primary demands of the Occupy Wall Street movement. Voters in Boulder, Colorado and Missoula, Montana have passed similar resolution. This is just the latest victory for the 99% movement - that has managed in just two months to steer debate in America away from deficit reduction and austerity - and toward job creation and wealth inequality. So needless to say - Conservatives - and their campaign donors who reside comfortably in the 1% - are a little worried. So - in their latest effort to silence the voice of Occupy Wall Street - they've reached out to their favorite wordsmith - right-wing pollster Frank Luntz. That's right - the guy who brought us "death panels" in an effort to kill meaningful healthcare reform - and "job creators" in an effort to keep the Bush tax cuts in place for millionaires and billionaires - is now targeting Occupy Wall Street. This week - Luntz attended an event in Florida with the Republican Governors Association - and admitted that he's "frightened to death" by Occupy Wall Street because it's, "having an impact on what the American people think of capitalism."

1. A Republican pollster trying to get attention & money saying

...he's frightened of OWS doesn't mean he is.

Nor is Frank Luntz a spokesman for the GOP.
