Is Occupy Wall Street the left's Tea Party?

They call themselves the 99%.

They seem to be made up of very liberal anti-establishment activists that are forming into a movement. This could get interesting.
 
They differ from the Tea-rorists in a few important ways.

Their movement is growing, not shrinking;

They are not financed and organized by billionaires and lobbyists;

They are not homophobic, xenophobic, or racist, as far as I can tell.

They need leadership. Right now their message is lost as they have about a billion different 'demands', some reasonable, many off the wall moronic.
 
They are nothing like the Tea Party. I've attended a few Tea Party events. I didn't see any people with metal rings in their noses or metal studs coming out of their cheeks. Plus they all had jobs and had taken a bath recently.
 
I guess the libtards forgot already the failure of the last time they tried to compete with the tea party. Anybody remember the "Coffee Party", anybody, anybody???

Launched with high hopes last year and seen by some as a progressive answer to Tea Party, the party has instead been an example of the failure to counter the power and energy of the tea party movement -- and its own board members are portraying it as an organizational disaster.

All True, but is it a simuar movement, more organic and on the left, but say, the Left's answer.

The Tea Party was created by special interests. The 99% seems to be more organic.

You sure about that?

 
wallbaggers or streetbaggers?

they are nothing like the tea party. from what i've seen, these are people who love to protest because protesting is cool. they want to be like their parents in the 60's and 70's. if they really cared about change, go protest the executive branch or the legislative branch. their protest of wall street now makes little sense and will accomplish nothing.

The teachers' union clearly did not teach you grammar. Is that because your mom didn't pay any taxes when she plied her trade?
