The Democrats have said that the OWS movement was their answer to the Tea Party. Here is a great comparison of the two movements that may say something to many who support the OWS people.

Occupy Party vs Tea Party

Occupy Party vs Tea Party
Ron Paul endorses both, where does that put him and his supporters?

They only time I hear this comparison is from the right. Since day one, right wingers have made it a OWS vs Tea Party.

Instead of seeing two separate movements, the right has made it into a divisive talking point of them vs OWS.

The problem with Republicans is the fact that they do not see issues, they only see people, and parties to be supported or opposed.

OWS and The Tea Party are completely different. Here's just a recent example.

Occupy SF Protesters Throw Bibles, Bricks at Cops|Politifreak (http://www.politifreak.com/conervatives/occupy-sf-protesters-throw-bibles-bricks-at-cops/ - broken link)

I guarantee you will never find a Tea Party where anything like this happened.

Er, where does this come from? There is no data where any of this is sourced...which means another...



At least try a little bit to convince people you might know what you are talking about.

You didn't look at the link again, did you? Oh well left leaning deflection is what it is and you tried very hard here to do it. Saul would be very proud of you.

Don't be confused. This was a typical Savoir attempt to deflect and nothing more or less. He has not looked at that link, either.

Are you saying that leading Democrats like Obama and Pelosi didn't speak glowingly about the OWS? Are you saying that many other Democrats spoke up calling the OWS movement to be the Democrat answer to the Tea Party? Are you wanting to argue the truthfulness of any of those statistics? If so get about the arguing.

Finn, did you open the link or just answer one of your liberal buddies who had not opened the link? I have to wonder when I see left leaning deflection followed by another one talking about the deflection and not the topic of the thread.
