Why are mispelled tea party signs not indicative of poor spelling amongst the movement?
Did you mean "misspelled"? LOL
The overwhelming majority of the signs seen at the Tea Party events are spelled correctly, thanks for proving my point. Now are you going to address the topic of this thread or will you continue to try and derail it?
The difference is that OWS members denounce the alleged racism, etc.. The tea party members on here defend the racist rhetoric and signs spewed by tea party members. If my friend commits a crime I can't be held liable, but if I agree with his actions, well then two peas in a pod.

We've already addressed that and you're wrong, show me one instance of clear racism by a person at a the Tea Party event and I'll show you 100 posts condemning those actions. Go ahead, try. I'll wait.
But a hand full of people holding racially suggestive signs years ago proves that everyone in the Tea Party is a KKK supporting racist?
It seems like every day we get a new video of something happening at an OWS protest that shows extremely bad judgement and illegal activity by OWS supporters. We've all ready the reports of people being raped in tents by strangers, people ranting against Jews, people stealing expensive electronics, people hurling rocks and bottles at police, people ignoring laws which are meant to protect public property, people defacing public property, etc etc etc. Why do liberals automatically attempt to make it seem like those are non-existent instances that in no way represent the OWS movement as a whole but the minute you saw someone holding a sign at a Tea Party protest with a photo of Obama with a bone in his nose you instantly labeled every single person who's ever even thought about supporting the Tea Party a racist bigot?
Please explain this gross lack of logic on the part of liberals, especially those here on CD. To me it seems pretty clear that you're now dealing with the exact same treatment you dished out to the Tea Party supporters and you don't like it one bit...
Before you go crazy and attack me personally because you don't like my message, please save your time.
If you intend to deny that these things have taken place at OWS events all over this country, please don't waste your time in here because I'll start posting video after video that proves you wrong.
What's the problem? Give the cops plenty of live ammo and let them clear up all the protests! After the action everyone can wave the flag and sing God Bless America.

Can't remember any Tea Party member EVER defending racist rhetoric.
The media found some objectionable signs and BLEW IT OUT OF PROPORTION.
Wall Street protesters are stinky, unbathed whiners. Not even smart enough to bring toilet paper. Like anyone would hire someone who doesn't use toilet paper.
Hopefully the Unions will give you enough rice to make it through the winter.
It's probably because the OWS folks are happy to denounce racists or anti-Semites that appear in their ranks, but Tea Partiers first ignore the obvious racists in their ranks, and then threw a fit when groups like the NAACP asked them to toss the obvious racists out.
I'm proving my point and it's working pretty well given the fact that very few of the liberal mob here on CD are getting anywhere near this thread.
I know that all of the supporters of OWS aren't racist, rapists, etc etc etc but then again, I'm not trying to paint an entire movement based on the actions of a few people. I do think the majority of the OWS supporters are a little misinformed and naive but that doesn't make them racist.
Obviously there was no answer possible for the left when the Tea Party Movement came to life all across the country in 2009. These people weren't looking for special favors or to screw the other guy. They simply wanted the federal government to stop spending more money than they took in. They wanted government to only do that which they were authorized by the Constitution to do. And for the banks which traded overrated and over leveraged mortgages backed securities they wanted consequences for these irresponsible actions. Then, when the participants were done, they picked up their own trash and went home without incident.
They were right on the issues and their behavior was exemplary.
They were baited, mocked and maligned, but what else were leftists to do except attempt to discredit them?

That has happened pretty much constantly for the last year or 2, especially here on CD and the people who are responsible for it are conveniently not posting in this thread.
Where are you guys?
Where is enemy country? Where is Savoir Faire? Where are all these people who have constantly attacked the Tea Party movement as a whole and tried to paint it as a racist movement? You guys certainly aren't attacking the OWS movement, hell you're defending the actions of the racist members in that movement.
The silence from the left is all the proof we need of their extreme hypocrisy on this subject. Libs, you're on the losing side of this argument, you've become the laughing stock of the American people and now that you've aligned yourself with the OWS 99% crowd you're responsible for the people they rape and attack. You own this OWS movement, you want to harness it so badly to exploit it, be aware that you own the good and the bad. You own the racism, you own the rape, you own the hatred and you own the illegal acts that take place while you condone it all.

.
What you call objectionable signs many call racist signs. The fact that you don't see the "objectionable" signs or comments as racist is a validation of the signs.

One post or comment by you condeming the racist signs/actions/statements would suffice. Not going to happen since you don't find the signs objectionable.
