the teaflaggers on th other hand didnt take their protest directly to the point of emphasis
you can bet your bottom dollar that if the teaflaggers protested on wall street there would be chaos...
there has been other occupy rallys with no incident, and how do we know those idiots arent republican plants? i man at tea party rallys there are those trying to say democrats planting plants with stupid signs.
GTFOH
I did not see any TEA (Taxed Enough Already) members getting arrested, taking a dump on police cars, attacking the police, camping out like a bunch of deadbeats. Those TEA (Taxed Enough Already) work and don't sit around waiting for something to give them a job.
What I think is strange is the tea party hatred of unions. Because if you asked any of these folks when the best time in modern history was, many of them would say the period after WWII when families could support themselves on one income, communities were strong, etc - but this was the greatest period of growth for unions, and most working-class men were in them. Which is WHY this period was so great for the average American. Right now less then EIGHT PERCENT of Americans are in unions - so how can pathetic wages be the fault of unions? I mean, 92% of the economy is NOT unionized. And what a coincidence - stagnating or falling wages are perfectly aligned with the disappearance of unions and collective bargaining (and the flight of decent jobs to the third world that the loss of unions permitted).
American workers should not have to compete with people who are chained to sewing machines and forced to work till they faint. Nor should they compete with the smog in China that is so bad, a huge growth industry is the sale of home air purification and indoor play areas because it isn't safe outdoors for children.
And for the record, I'm neither a teapartier NOR an occupier. I don't think either of these groups is addressing the real problem, which is that corporations have the legal right in this country to literally bribe our supposed "representatives" into voting against the basic interests of the average citizen. And until you change that and have full public funding of elections, you won't get real representation in government.
TEA Party people don't hate unions, but they do object to overpaid pubic sector union members robbing the tax payers. The economic boom after WW II was created by the private sector being unleashed and making products that sold here and around the world. The unions became their own worst enemy and ignored the growning demand for cheaper and better made products which were coming from countries like Japan. Today, the majority of Americans don't want to join a union. Especially, after those union people in WI last year displayed truely disgusting behavior. The gov. of WI has turned around the financial problems of that state and created a surplus. Where are those union people now? Demanding a recall so they can get back in power to steal from the taxpayers once again.
Definitely the Occupiers, those spoiled white brats born of rich white liberals who've never held down a job in their lives, demanding money for nothing and defecating on police cars.
The Tea Party is full of intelligent middle-class taxpayers who are sick of the government bailing out Big Banks at the expense of the middle-class. They're not demanding anything other than corporate and government accountability and unlike the scatalogical Occupiers they don't begrudge people who work hard for their money, either.
Teabaggers in Congress want to raise taxes on the middle class, so they can give more tax breaks for their millionaire benefactors (who, of course, more than likely inherited all their wealth).
Meanwhile, the dreadlocked Occupy loons attempt to disrupt ports and prevent people from going to work. These shrill, bug-eyed loons actually think they're protesting the 1%, but in reality they hurt "truckdriver Joe" and "admin assistant Nancy" who is simply trying to get to work, and who rely on trade and commerce for a paycheck.
Also, some of the largest OWS donors are actually Mitt "Flip Flop" Romney supporters:
Tea Party. Not that many OWS have a strange idea of locations for protesting and an overly broad range of causes to protest.
>They live off of social security and other government handouts, all the while complaining about other bums living on the same welfare, and supporting their candidates that want to destroy that very hand that feeds them. <
You forgot old people on Medicare sitting on a government provided scooter protesting Obamacare.

The TEA (Totalitarian Evangelical Army) get arrested all the time for assaulting people, spitting in the faces of signature collectors, parading around with assault rifles, carrying hate filled, misspelled signs, members plotting terror attacks against america, etc,..

Those TEA (The Elderly Astroturfers) work involves sitting around all day, watching fox, complaining about "da libruuls" on political sites, while collecting government handouts.
You are despicible to call the Tea Party by some gay sex act name.
Their problem they shouldn't have picked a nickname that involved a gay sex act, just as Santorum shouldn't have pick a name that described the by product of a gay sex act.
