And you are obviously such a mature and well informed objective person.
Compared to you, everyone is.
well, whenever teabaggers get charged with racism and violence due to certain actions at their rallies, the defense is always, "these were isolated instigators!"
whenever that happens with OWS, the nutbangers and teabaggers never consider that same defense. wonder why?
are they concerned that this movement not only dwarfs theirs within this country, but it also an international movement?
:hmm:
All you have to do is look at them and listen to what they are saying.
There is this segment of the current generation that had everything handed to them by their parents and they are now realizing that life is hard and it takes hard work to be successful. Instead of putting in that hard work they would rather camp out in a park and throw a temper tantrum like a bunch of 2-year-olds because that is what use to work when mommy took them to the toy store and said they could only have 1 toy but they wanted 2.
Is this what Rush Limbaugh told you?
I was hoping for some actual proof, at least links or photos or something. This thread is well provided with actual evidence about *Occupy*. Perhaps you could try again to link violence with the tea party.
Having trouble finding acts of property destruction and vandalism, but a whole lot of death threats, actual attempts on people's lives, and more promises of "justice by gun."
different sort of "violence," I guess. :\

Hell, I had one geriatric teabagger slow down in his car and yell at me b/c I crossed the street the other day. lol.
What a clown, your "evidence" of Tea Party violence (the topic of this thread btw) is 3 cases of people with absolutely no connection to the Tea Party? No connection. None. Liar. Even your cute lil' story about being yelled at, how did you know they were a tea party member?
I guess one could compare the relative size and demographics of the different movements. Then consider that the Tea Party was more organized. OWS while trying to police themselves and reduce such incidents without a centralized leadership would be difficult. As for them being people who want something given to them for free is a bit disingenuous. I am under the impression what they actually want is an even playing field. In my mind that they were able to change the overall message coming out of Washington from the deficit to one of Job Creation has been an amazing thing.
there you go.
so, what then about the people that show up for OWS rallies and marches and instigate shit, even though they aren't part of the movement?
guilt by association is a hell of a thing, and you are no less guilty of such foolishness.
oh, and as for the angry old man that yelled at me: He was old, he was clearly angry that I was reading while walking (not while crossing the street mind you).
Old, angry over literacy, senile and rage-filled. Yep, sure Teabagger.

The first step on a long road to recovery.I think that OWS is more violent than the Golden Girls.
There, I said it!
Do you see any cops shooting rubber bullets and tear gas at the tea party? Spraying mace into the faces of people sitting quietly on the ground? Arresting people for trying to close their bank accounts?

Just like the guy responsible for the AZ shootings was supposed to be tied to the tea party and 'uncivil' speach.
is OWS more violent than the TPM?
Is this a rhetorical question?
Making ignorant, predjudicial statements? Typical libertroll.
No, because the Tea Party acted responsibly. They didn't defy commands given by police. They got permits to be in places to protest, IE following city ordinances and laws. The Occupy people by definition and admission are breaking the law.
But don't let your partisan hackery get in the way of facts.
No one in the Tea Party movement blocked entrances to businesses. No one in the Tea Party Assaulted old women. No one in the Tea Party left bags of human waste at the doors of banks.
Tea Party events were held as 1 or 2 day rallies and they got their point across. Occupiers are not rallying or doing anything other than wasting time and effort because they are to lazy to work and earn a living. They want it given to them. Frankly, every person at the Occupy protests could die and society wouldn't notice, other than the financial drain being lifted from entitlement programs.
JL, it is easy to obey the law when the law (or, rather, the rules) are not written against you.
Example: The protests at the Republican National Convention. Siting "Security Reasons" protesters were kept a good half mile away from the convention center.
But yet a Tea Party activist is allowed to bring an "unloaded" M16 to a presidential speech??!?

When the table is leveled, then maybe we can start making more comparisons.

This post just doesn't make a lot of sense. You didn't tie your point together at the end.
