    Don't think the media has that much of a double standard. Most of what I've heard of both is negative which confirms my own opinion of them. Both government and Wall Street are necessary things in today's world, they could both work better but all in all the USA is much above average for the world.

    I would love to see the tea party version of occupy wall street, it may go something like this.

    The stage is set for the biggest rally america has ever seen, new york at a stand still. The stock brokers transfixed at the spectacle. Palin in string bikini shouts in the microphone "god hates f.ags as the thousands of tea party groupies fire their shotguns in agreement.

    What "change" does the OWS rabble want? A large segment of OWS wants more freebies from the govt with NO IDEA how that could be possible. Then another large segment of OWS wants to do away with govt and have anarchy [while still being supported BY the govt] The remaining OWS rabble are just wackos.

    They hang around because they have nowhere productive to go. And their lives are a waste of time so why not waste more time trying to get laid by a really odoriferous fellow traveler.

    Here, I'll remind you with a few lyrics from their theme song:

    "Our canvas is freedom, your blood is our paint"
    "..like a pig you will roast"
    ".. what you won't share will be ripped from your hands"
    "your body destroyed.. the way fire lands"
    "burning your homes"
    "naked you'll be and full of regret"

    ".. what you won't share will be ripped from your hands"

    So the mindless rabble think that what I earned belongs to them because they want it?

    And threats of violence are rational ideas to you mindless rabble?

    That pitiful whine is as UN-American as anything could be.

    And the OWS 'movement" [as in bowel movement' their best work to date] is a pile of worthless idiots.

    You do not have a serious demand, so it is not possible to take you serious.

    If you do become seriously violent, it will be returned in kind,,,,,,with interest.

    They remind me of the 60's hippie movement. Protesting just for the sake of it with no real motives.

    Unlikely the t-baggers could do anything right. I understand klan meetings go well. But they anger a lot of members. Kind of makes them hatefull.


    LOL......

    Comparing the tea party to the klan and calling the tea party, "t-baggers" demonstrates a complete lack of knowledge on the subjects. Not surprising.

    Both movements are a waste of time! Any movements will not get you anywhere!

    Tea Party & Occupy protestors have failed.

    A wise man has at least an inking of what a group is all about before he states unintelligent and false opinions about them.

    You might write that on your hand.

    Many major parties/organizations/groups began as movements. If they had your thought process, they would not exist.

    South Carolina voters, 19% opposed the tea party. 81% did not. Liberals avoidance of reality is why you got surprised in 2010 and why you'll get surprised again. Republicans will take control of both Houses of Congress. Even if obama were reelected, he'd be a lame duck, powerless to do anything except veto the stream of repeals of his idiotic policies coming across his deck..

    No. The media never said anything bad about the Tea Party, but loved covering the havoc that went on at OWS. Then again, the only news I ever watch is Faux News...

    Faux News, is that some liberal propaganda station? Must be since FOX and ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC, and MSNBC all showed people holding signs that were inappropriate at tea party rallies. They didn't show violence and arrests of idiots because there was none.

    More of liberals hiding in caves of unreality.

    Can anyone please show me where during any Tea Party rally there was

    1) drug use
    2) rapes
    3) assualts on Police Officers
    4) smashing of store windows
    5) destruction of private property
    6) tons of trash left behind
    7) children left unattended in a tent
    8) people shot and killed
    9) private business forced to close due to Tea Party people scaring customers away
    10) the burning of the American flag
    11) urninating in public


    All of these, and much more, happened at the hippie camps, yet the liberal media ignored most of these stories and played up how these ifiots repersent the 99% of Americans

    Does anyone support the above actions of the hippies? If so - why?

    I can't believe this post is not closed for reaching the 500 post llimit. I guess that the libs want to stay clear of this one, it is hard for them to argue the point. I'll have to check the OP's link to see it that is is constantly updated. I know there has been quite a bit more violence from the OWS crowd especially here in the Occupied SF Bay Area. This is an excellent thread and just look at the poll results! Nobody is fooled by the mainstream media on this issue. Can you imagine what a disaster this election is going to be for the democrats as these idiot protesters become more and more disfuntional and more violent? They like to claim the republicans are in disarray, but look at what is becoming of the leftist democrat and their minions. Are they going to continue to defend this anti-social behavior? Good job on the OP Lex.
