2. Occupy Wall Street is real.
That's why they are so creative. Can anyone name a single creative idea the Tea Party has put out there? I can't. There is nothing growing under the astroturf.

3. and they are welcome to open carry
even when a politician is speaking. Anyone else getting the feeling government officials are backing the Tea Party while opposing a real populist uprising. Why yes, they are.

7. Tea party voted for change
Can occupy wall st follow this up by not accepting the lesser of two evils in the primaries and general election?

11. Actually, the Tea Party voted for more of the same.
More corporate greed, more money for the top 1%, more gutting of social programs for the rest.

8. I hate to say I saw a few misspelled signs. I bet OWS has way
fewer though. Definitely not fake like the teabaggers that were programed by FOX "News", Dick Armey and the Koch brothers.

OWS people are out to help our country not just protect the thieves.

10. Tea party is corporate sanctioned...
The corporations (such as the Koch Brothers) fund the tea party and the movement is fueled
by right-wing radio--which has been the propaganda machine for marketing the corporate takeover of America.

I had a conversation with a tea partier after the housing market imploded and the bank bailouts. This tea
partier actually argued that all of this meant that the banks needed LESS, not more, regulation and oversight.

Seriously. Think about that. It takes a whole lot of round the clock brainwashing to create that kind
of fucked up ignorance.

The corporations have found a weak link in the human chain--right-wing goof weasels who can be convinced of
anything. They'll vote against their own interests every time. They'll argue for the corporations--while
these corporations destroy our democracy and enrich themselves.

So, of course these sociopaths fund and leverage the tea party. Of course the tea party is allowed to demonstrate without
incident. Of course the media covers their 12-person protest, as if it was some earth-shattering event.

I'll never understand the level of idiocy it takes to be standing in the ashes of a total economic collapse--and
then turn around and argue for further deregulation on the banks. It's like a big cult of stupid.

13. "right-wing goof weasels"
This is my new term. Thank you. I have been calling them crazystupids and Teabillies until now, but right-wing goof weasels really sums them up nicely.
