Tea Partiers vs. Occupiers

Right now, the liberals are resorting to their centuries-old favorite way of getting what they want: mob rule and intimidation (see Demonic: How the Liberal Mob Is Endangering America by Ann Coulter), in the form of the Occupy Wall Street protests. Naturally, their allies in the Leftmedia have ignored most of their worst excesses. By contrast, the Tea Parties were peaceful, using the time-honored Conservative way: persuasion culminating in the ballot box.

The many differences are due to their underlying philosophies. The Tea Partiers want the government to take less of what they have earned—and earned by hard work and pleasing their fellow man. The Occupiers want the government to give them (more!) things—and because the government has no money of its own, these things must be confiscated by force from the productive class. Since they love force by government, it’s only natural that they should resort to the same if the government isn’t giving them enough.

Violence and racism: only from the Occupiers

The contrasts should be obvious. The Tea Parties have been protesting in one way or another for almost a thousand days, and no one has been arrested. At Occupy Wall Street alone, over 700 people were arrested, and many arrests have occurred in other cities as well. In line with Tea Party philosophy of not demanding goods and services by force from other people, they cleaned up after themselves. Conversely, the Occupiers have cost the cities millions of dollars in cleanup fees alone—that is, unless protesters refused to cooperate so that “sanitary conditions have reached unacceptable levels”, committed crimes unrelated to what they are protesting about, and have resorted to disgusting acts.

Furthermore, the Occupiers include rabid anti-Semites such as LA substitute teacher Patricia McAllister who said, “Jews have been run out of 109 countries throughout history, and we need to run them out of this one.”

Just run all the Democrats out of the country... problems solved.

why are you saying that the Occupy movement is a liberal movement? it's not. It is all kinds of people that have chosen to stop the political crap on left/right red/blue and stand up for ALL Americans that the government is supposed to represent. Instead, it is big money that makes our gov't work, not doing the work for/by and of the people. If the politicians won't listen to their constituents, then the American people are speaking up. I think this is a good thing. And it is world-wide as the problem is not just a US thing either. The people of the world are taking a stand and that is a very good thing.

No you are right- Occupy movement isn't just a liberal movement- there's also socialists, communists and anarchists......

And a whole lot of people who just won't work for a living.

The latter didn't know anything about politics until they saw the drum circles on TV (between video games) and decided to join in on the "gimmie gimmie pow-wow".

Wrong... "Occupy Wall Street supporters – 69 percent are leaned Democrats; 24 percent, leaned Republicans."

so what? why do you need to split it in half again? it is time for us to put aside the media-made hatred and get to work as Americans.

Er... because you brought it up... "why are you saying that the Occupy movement is a liberal movement? it's not." Did you forget already? And what does "media-made hatred" have to do with a poll and the facts that the Occupy movement is composed mainly of people on the political left. The Occupy movement has been endorsed by communist organizations, socialist organizations, North Korea, Iran, Hezzbulah (sp?) and the list could go on. Why don't you supply some facts to prove your point?

the OP was saying that, I was asking why they are trying to categorize it

And you picked up the ball and ran with it and said "why are you saying that the Occupy movement is a liberal movement? it's not." Guess what... IT IS as per my previous posts.

there may be more Democrats participating than Republicans, but there are ALL Americans participating. It is not a movement started or controlled by any political party or special interests. That is the beauty of it.
