Well:

1. The Tea Party protested Congress, not Main Street.
2. The Tea Party wants a return to governance by adherence to the Constitution. The Occupiers want to take things from others in a Communist manner.
3. The Tea Party did not set out to disrupt legitimate business. The Occupiers have set out to disrupt legitimate business.
4. The Tea Partiers are clean and respectful of their surroundings. The Occupiers are not.

Shall I go on?

The Tea Party recruited and backed candidates for public office at all levels of government and were crucial to Republicans taking back the House in 2010 as well as tipping numerous governorships and state legislatures toward the GOP.

Until the Occupiers have a similar record of achievement, they are just a bunch of whining do nothings.
