I mean anyone with a brain knows that is exactly what all fortune 500 companies are looking for in their next hire.
Seriously, they did this. Lol, unbelievable.

Otherwise the tea party rallies have been highly orchestrated and only a few hours in length before the buses they came in on need to get their supporters back to the nursing homes on time to catch O'Reilly Though we have seen from these short gathering numerous assaults and acts of violence from the tea party.
If they were at the caliber of the OWS protests, going on over a month, nationwide 24 hours a day, you can bet there would be rampant violence, likely shootings, and other acts of terror.


The last rally I attended (Plymouth, MI), I had to park in a residential neighborhood and walk two blocks to the park. I saw exactly zero buses so you must be confused between Tea Party participants who drive themselves to the rallies and make their own signs which are purchased with their own money and purple shirt clad SEIU thugs carrying their union's mass produced signs.

I thought it was terrible when a tea partier spit in a Congressman's face outside the steps of the Capitol in DC, but that's turned out to be child's play compared to the outlandish behavior at some of these Occupy events.

"AS violent?!"
The Tea Party rallies/protests have not been violent at all. World of difference 'tween the two.


Here's the OWS fruitcakes...

The past few Tea Party events I've attended had speeches from veterans, American Legioners, a college professor (who was African American for those of you who like to say TP'ers are "racist"), local radio personalities, and clergy leading us in prayer. We sang hymns and patriotic songs. The ladies of the Christian Coalition sold refreshments such as popcorn, cupcakes, and lemonade. There were no buses - just people parking and walking for blocks, carrying folding chairs to the Courthouse Square. There was a heartfelt acknowledgment and salute to our local surviving WWII and Korean Vets (most in wheelchairs), as well as those who fought in Viet Nam, Desert Storm, etc. Except for emphasis on the topics of deficit, taxation, control of "big government", anti-socialism, etc., it could have been a typical Fourth of July celebration in any small town.

It's because OWS members don't tote guns at their political events. That's really the only reason. The cops knew the yahoos would start shooting back.

Two dozen degenerates arrested in Chicago last night.

It's going to get worse today when the NATO Summit begins.

You mean exercising their Constitutional rights to bear arms? Yep, horribly violent of them.

Prove it. Provide sources to these "numerous assaults and acts of violence from the Tea Party." You can't because there aren't any. You lie and you fail yet again.

I was one of those armed participants at one of Joe Miller's 2010 rallies, and there were no buses. There are a lot of armed people living in Alaska. Unfortunately the Alaskan GOP has disenfranchised its members by allowing Sen. Murkowski to keep her "Republican" credentials, even though she lost the GOP Primary and could not run as a Republican candidate.

By the way, it was a Joe Miller rally, not a TEA Party rally. Although, it could have been a TEA Party rally since it was completely peaceful and in accordance with the permit they lawfully obtained. Two things that are always conspicuously missing from OWS "rallies."

Have any of the Tea Party protests been as violent as the Occupy Wall Street protests?

Only in leftist vitriol trying to stir up some non existent controversy.

Carrying but not using a gun, violence

Liberalism, a mental disorder.
