WOW, I'd had to see non passive.
Yes, that's liberal style passive.
If they don't blow up stuff then they are passive.

They're both protesting our political machine. This is not an apples and oranges comparison.

This was from a tea party rally where supporters were carrying assault rifles and handguns.

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.

Not really.

OWS is a movement for the people. ALL people, regardless of idiology.

The tea party is a collection of unwitting stooges doing the bidding of corporate America. (Like most of the right)

No it's not. They're freaking moto is a divisive one and not even accurate. They don't speak for anywhere near 99%, they don't even know how small of a % they actually are. I'm sure you'd say the same thing about the TP.

Jon, lol, I think you're the one not sure about the percentage. These people are working for us.

The tea party? eh....... Most people regard them as a bunch of misled cranks. That's why they don't get the support that OWS does. (The less than 90 day old OWS)

Well if they think they are actually 99% of the population and one of their demands is a salary of $50k a year (higher than our GDP per capita PPP) then you should clue them in on what they actually are, communist who can't do math or even the slightest bit of research. It's even more telling that many would quit their jobs, go to wall street (and elsewhere), get arrested and then think they'll ever get a job paying more with a criminal background...

Help these kids out and clue them in to what they're actually doing to their lives and careers instead of using them like you folks with jobs are...

Is that what you believe?

Do you seriously think that those who make $50,000 or more are in the top 1%???????

Wow, they've got you programmed WELL.

I would post links but they're all to sites that you would say aren't accurate. I'm just shocked that you believe folks are fighting over $50k, lol.

I think I was making that back in 1998.
