Tea Party events usually involve filling out the proper paperwork..renting port-o-lets...setting up stages and audio/light equipment. You know...organized and legal like with a non-violent approach.

The "Occupiers" are akin to the WTO protesters. They just want anarchy in the streets. They're mad but don't know what to do but wear goofy clothes, and scream in the wind while they break laws.

See the difference now? No?

Occupiers

"Tea Party events usually involve filling out the proper paperwork..renting port-o-lets...setting up stages and audio/light equipment."

That's pretty easy to do when your movement is sponsored by billionaires.

I can see how so many would object to the Occupiers. The notion that there's anything wrong with pay-to-play politics and our "representatives" doing the bidding of their corporate benefactors rather than what is good for the country is absurd. These people are obviously morons and America haters.

It's good to see that there are plenty of regular Americans still ready to support the status quo. After all, what is good for corporate executives and billionaires is obviously good for normal folks as well. Nothing is more American or better for the country than ensuring that all of our politicians continue to work for whoever pays them the most. Let the graft continue, and may God bless America!!!

Those losers that got arrested on the bridge had nothing to say. They want to rail on Wall Street. Good luck. They have NO CLUE what they want because if they did they'd have their crap together. They'd be taking on the Federal Reserve!

Instead what do they do? Jump on a bridge screaming Obama and try to shut down a bridge...what did you think they were going to do? Let them continue? Please...they broke the law and deserve what they get. It's not a "billionaire" thing...it's a lawful thing.

Don't confuse the truth with your petty BS. One is organized with a message. The other is mass chaos with a thousand different voices.

Keep on drinking the lib kool-aid!

"One is organized with a message"

Oh, really? What would that message be? Or more appropriately, what has it become?

The Tea Party movement began with good ideas and noble intent but has quickly become co-opted by the forces that prize business as usual and their dollars' influence over our "leaders" above all else. If the "lib kool-aid" comment isn't enough to prove your ignorance, your convenient avoidance of this fact is.

The only difference between the Koch bros and G. Soros is he hates america and makes them look like paupers.

Gotta have something to be scared of I suppose.

I like what the occupiers are doing actually I just don't agree with the Marxist factions among them. The police have been good and bad with them.

Actually Soros was a Nazi too...ratted on others so he could make his billions. So there's more than ONE difference...but I digress...the Koch Brothers also have NEVER co-opted the destruction of a nation's economy either so they've got that as well.

Capitalism...its the ONLY system that works.

ZRX - I feel very much the same way. What would be awesome is if the Occupiers and Tea Party could shed the shackles of those who would (or do) co-opt them as proxies to perpetuate pay-to-play and have the movements join forces. Even the notion is enough to scare the living $hit out of Congress and their owners.

I walked past the park every day for the first week of protests on my way to work, and it was painful. While they don't have a unified message, I agree wholeheartedly with the general idea behind the "occupation" - getting the money out of politics. Most of the egregious political mudfights here and among us proles are partisan scraps thrown out to keep us bickering while the big boys rape us.

But to walk by and see chanting, shirtless hippies dancing in drum circles made me cringe and made my heart break for the many better-organized, smart people assembling there.

In any event, it will be interesting to see how this plays out.

No, it will not be interesting. They will show their collective ass. They will reveal the puppetmasters and they will be arrested.

Nothing interesting to see at all.

This would be funny if it wasn't so full of inaccuracies, wrongful assumptions, and brainless jingoisms.

Knowing how to copy and paste links and toss out right-wing slang doesn't make you an authority on anything. It is telling that you choose to avoid answering any of the questions or addressing any of the substance of my post.

Maybe you should take a look at your anger and why it drives you to act like an anti-intellectual fool rather than obsessing on our crappy president and the "liberal" bogeyman. Perhaps then you could make a coherent argument. Because for now, what you post here is basicaly fanatical, partisan noise. Get a grip.

I agree, it very well may take that to break our one party rule. I would say in regards to the tea party they have no "leader" so I think that helps keep some level of purity no matter who "contributes" .

Seeing ****** Army involved with them bugs me more than Koch $.

I live in Oregon so I'm used to smelly hippies everywhere......

Um, no. The idiot hippies/anarchists/Marxists are vastly outnumbered by what appear to be smart, well mannered people from across the dempgraphic spectrum who are there out of genuine concern and anger about how our democracy is for sale. Unfortunately, the hippies and crazies are the ones who will get the media attention, because the same people that own the politicians oversee the news coverage these guys get.

Although I'm sure you know exactly what is going on there from the right wing news feeds you get down there in heaven's waiting room. I couldn't have any idea what's going on there walking past the park every day.

You're very funny.
