"Tea Party" Vs "Occupy Wall Street"

Remember how the left (including Obama) tried to vilify the Tea Party with phony claims of racists, nativism, crazy right wing nutters?

It is interesting to compare the two movements:

Here are some pixs of Tea Party rallies:










And then there are is the "Occupy Wall Street" crowd:









And we have a President who identifies more with the "Occupy Wall Street" crowd than the Tea Party !

You are so biased WW that it's not even funny- let me add this video of some Tea party signs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCpwjvVaqyE
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S38VioxnBaI
P.S WW- if someone was to go interview a group of skinheads and ask them what they think of Obama - the language is not going to be good correct- it will surely be plenty of the "N" word and racial words used- so if somebody was to then say- are these the type of people the GOP want to associate themselves with- that would be a little dishonest and misleading right?
However, you do the same by "selecting" the most inappropriate pictures and acting as if everyone in "occupy Wall Street" were doing those vile things. Just as I posted a video showing very racist signs at the TEA party rallies- but I would be dishonest if I said everyone at the Tea party rally had racist signs. By posting this thread you make yourself look desperate and dumber(didn't think you could do that) and you lose credibility. If a news station or any media outlet posted what you just have they would be the laughing stock and the butt of many jokes.

I would like to see a verification of some of those signs. It was proven that Tea Party rallies were penetrated by agents of the left carrying a few of those signs that you think were Tea Party signs. Instead of being penetrated by Tea Party people some of the occupy people were paid to be there.

FYI. many of those signs I didn't even find offensive because they told the truth. Now you will pick out the ones that you want rather than the ones I'm talking about and go about lying but then that is to be expected from the left.

At the Liberty Memorial my sign said "Hey, Barry! At least kiss me before you tax me." Maybe you saw me on TV?

While the initial pictures are biased you have to acknowledge that tea party rallies did not result in mass arrests or public disorder. The hypocracy of the democrats insulting people that identify with the tea party as miserly evil racist people (none of which is true) and then now embracing a protest movement of people whose behavior is far less orderly and whose message makes little sense is incredible.
The Tea Party is hijacked by the hardcore neocon Republicans and the Occupy is hijacked by the Union thugs and Marxists. Both groups are RIGHT, but they fail to understand the solution. The solution is to do all the following:
1. Fire Congress. Vote against the incumbent, no matter what party.
2. Fire the state legislature and elect statesmen.
3. End the Federal Reserve, the root cause of EVERYTHING.
4. Elect Ron Paul to veto bills

Prove to me that the "racist" signs were democrat "plants". Who told you they were plants Faux News or Rush? Some of the signs I have no issues with either actually laughed at a few- but there were some that were distasteful to say the least. It looks like the GOP is all fine when they had the Tea party rallies and when they were encouraging seniors to go and speak out against health care- but a few months ago when the GOP was getting yelled at during the infamous Ryan plan- they didn't want any screaming or shouting lol- don't forget the Union protest in Wisconsin- GOP painted those workers and protesters as just troublemakers- lol I lve the irony.
Also, speaking of the Tea party movement- that movement is anything but grassroot- how could it be grassroot when it's funding by the billionaire Kockhbrothers?

I couldn't get the YouTube things to load. But I've already stated that the Tea Party movement has been co-opted by the GOP. Both sides plant signs at the other's rallies. It's tradition.

So what if the Koch Brothers are funding it? George Soros funds a lot of movements on the Left. Like it always is, a battle of the rich guys, each trying to prove they care for the little guy, when the little guy is just a pawn to them so they can get richer.

Don't vote for a Democrat or a Republican. You will feel better, and it might actually make a difference if we can wake enough people up.

Have any of you posting ben to both a tea party rally and this wall street protes t? I have and let me tell you they are different but they are both protesting the exact same thing. And though both have points they are both kooks from a standpoint of having them over for dinner!
seems the difference is:

one movement wants to just get things for themselves without an associated work ethic and the hell with anything else

and the other is worried about America

Wrong again. One group is a bunch of toothless fucs that do not want the government to touch their medicare and the other group is a bunch of younger amercians that do not want the government to cut education. If you were to actually get out and mix and mingle at both groups you would know this shit without me having to report it to you
