The mainstream media has been fawning over the Occupy Wall Street protesters asserting that it is a grass roots movement just like the Tea Party. Evidence has already surfaced that the radical left-wing labor union SEIU and ACORN are the organizing force behind the protests.
President Obama has ties to both of these groups and it wouldnt surprise me to learn that the protests were engineered by David Axelrod or others in the Obama administration. It saddens me to think this of our president but the fact remains that this is the most corrupt man to ever serve in the White House.
Weve also learned that organizers paid people to show up to the Occupy D.C. protest. It wouldnt surprise me to learn that this payola is widespread because this has become a regular tactic of the socialist left.
So, back to the original premise that the media is equating the the OWS movement to the Tea Party. Furthermore lets see which movement is made up of patriotic Americans, and finally, which group represents mainstream America.

Check it out if you like. I've posted photos of Tea Party's and Photos from OWS, including one of a degenerate taking a dump on the American flag. Had I been there to see that, I'd have been arrested and he would have been in the hospital.

Excellent article - I hope you don’t mind I posted the guy dumping on the American flag on my Facebook page - I attributed it to your web-site.
I don’t know the rules so if it is not ok let me know and I will take it down. I also put on the attackwatch Facebook page which is 550+ conservatives poking fun of Obama’s attack watch plan. I again put your web-site name in the posting.
Wonderful contrast in photos.

NPR has been gushing over the “leaderless movement” (as if this was a new phenomenon, never seen before over the past couple of years). But I’ve noticed a lot of mass-produced signs at Occupy Wall St. Almost as if some central source is turning out nice placards, and paying people to walk around holding them. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

As for the punk dumping on the flag, had I seen him, I'd have pulled off my belt and whacked his scrawny ass with as much force as I could muster!

It’s weird how the commie ‘RATS need a state run, multi-billion dollar BIG “media” in order to try to make the TEA Party look bad and they still can’t do it. These fleabagger fools happily work at making themselves look and smell bad. They don’t need the BIG state run “media” to do it for them.

“It saddens me to think this of our president but the fact remains that this is the most corrupt man to ever serve in the White House.”
In all fairness, Bill Clinton holds the record for corruption, as such. Clinton was little different than a mafia Don, because his entire organization’s function was in service to him personally. He was truly an amoral man, a psychopath devoted to his own gratification. As such, he surrounded himself with tainted, corrupt and perverse lieutenants, for these were the only people he felt he could trust.
Even though he and his henchmen systematically corrupted every part of the government they could, Clinton truly had no vision beyond himself. Just a few days ago he was bitterly complaining that he got no credit for his “legacy”. Yet that is no surprise, because his sole focus was his personal gratification. This creates no legacy.
But Obama is of a different class entirely. He is a faceless man, a straw man, who exists not for himself but for a philosophy, however unintelligent and aimless. Likely a product of the CIA, as was his mother and his maternal grandfather, he was intended to be a Cold War infiltrator of the highest caliber and impeachable credentials, perhaps to be placed within the walls of the Kremlin itself.
But with the end of the Cold War, he became purposeless. Why the CIA decided to take a rotten seat and make him a US senator is a very good question, as was who were his handlers, and their motivations.
Propelling it all, however, is perhaps a Yale or Harvard view of the world, and what America should become. Their rather crippled, ivory tower philosophy, adoring social-democracy and omnipresent government. Yet with that charming Chicago philosophy that the entire purpose of government is to enrich one’s friends and punish one’s enemies.
But this leftist view is, oddly enough, far less “corrupt” than that of the Arkansas mob. They are idealists, craving ends and indifferent to means, or the harm those means create. Far less inclined to steal for themselves, than to steal for “the cause”, as nebulous as it is.
Yet among the left and the Democrats, there is no great agreement as to ends. Some are true fanatics, others are little removed from the Clinton sense of true corruption. Yet within it all, there is no redemption, and the good of the nation is far down the list of things that matter to them.

Broadway at Wall was fenced off for the food fair today -- a truly beautiful day. No sign of any rabble. Honestly, if people ignored them, they wouldn't register at all.
If the grass in Trinity Cemetery had half the PR machine the hippies have, the world would be held rapt by it.

A couple of thoughts:
1. I’ve seen more Blacks at Tea Party rallies, and yet we’re the ones called racist?
2. Can you imagine if just one Tea Party member EVER broke a store window or confronted police?
3. Every Tea Party rally I have ever been to or know of has made it a point to clean up before leaving. I haven’t seen any such evidence from the OWS.
Bottom Line: The only likeness between the grass-roots Tea Party and the ginned-up OWS is that the OWS is what the liberalistas wish the Tea Party was like so they could, in good conscious, be critical.

I will agree that a lot less people have died under suspicious circumstances in the era of the Baraqqi regime compared to the Clintons.
However the fact remains that Baraq got his masters degree in “operations” from the Chicago political mob. And was able to defeat Hillary in the primaries. Somehow he held a trump card that negated the Clinton’s vaunted private detective operation.

I remember the old communist party would give away free coffee and donuts, (free food) at their ralies and the rubes would show up and it would puff their numbers.

Bill made a lot of enemies among the Democrats, and Hillary made a bunch more, just exclusive to her.
The Gores hate them, because Hillary treated Tipper like a dog, sneering at her for graduating from Boston University, whereas Hillary had graduated from Wellesley College and Yale. Bill also mistreated Al, even to the point of telling him to “fetch coffee”.
I watched closely during the primary, trying to determine who was in the Clinton faction, and who was in the anti-Clinton faction. But the bottom line was that with Hillary’s rock-solid negatives, from both Republicans and Democrats, there was no way she could get elected.
Obama, however, was a faceless clean slate, because a LOT of money had been spent on making him that way. And any PI who tried to find out would run headlong into the CIA’s cover program, designed to thwart enemy spies.

THIS IS WHAT A MOB LOOKS LIKE
October 5, 2011 by ANN COULTER
I am not the first to note the vast differences between the Wall Street protesters and the tea partiers.
To name three: The tea partiers have jobs, showers and a point.
No one knows what the Wall Street protesters want -- as is typical of mobs.
They say they want Obama re-elected, but claim to hate "Wall Street."You know, the same Wall Street that gave its largest campaign donation in history to Obama,who, in turn, bailed out the banks and made Goldman Sachs the fourth branch of government.
This would be like opposing fattening, processed foods, but cheering Michael Moore -- which the protesters also did this week.
But to me, the most striking difference between the tea partiers and the "Occupy Wall Street" crowd -- besides the smell of patchouli --is how liberal protesters must claim their every gathering is historic and heroic.
They chant: "The world is watching!" "This is how democracy looks!"
"We are the ones we've been waiting for!"
At the risk of acknowledging that I am, in fact, "watching," this is most definitely not how democracy looks.
Sally Kohn, a self-identified "community organizer," praised the Wall Street loiterers on CNN's website, comparing the protest to the Boston Tea Party, which she claimed, "helped spark the American Revolution,"
adding, "and yes, that protest ultimately turned very violent."
First of all,the Boston Tea Party was nothing like tattooed, bodypierced, sunken-chested 19-year-olds getting in fights with the police for fun.
Paul Revere's nighttime raid was intended exclusively to protest a new British tea tax.(The Wall Street protesters would be more likely to fight for a new tax than against one.)
Revere made sure to replace a broken lock on one of the ships
and severely punished a participant who stole some of the tea for his private use.
Samuel Adams defended the raid by saying that all other methods of recourse -- say, voting -- were unavailable.
Our revolution -- the only revolution that led to greater freedom since at least 1688 -- was not the act of a mob.
As specific and limited as it was, however,even the Boston Tea Party was too mob-like to spark anything other than retaliatory British measures.
Indeed, it set back the cause of American independence by dispiriting both American and British supporters, such as Edmund Burke.
George Washington disapproved of the destruction of the tea.
Benjamin Franklin demanded that the India Tea Co. be reimbursed for it.
Considered an embarrassment by many of our founding fathers, the Boston Tea Party was not celebrated for another 50 years.
It would be three long years after the Boston Tea Party when our founding fathers engaged in their truly revolutionary act:The signing of the Declaration of Independence.
In that document, our Christian forebears set forth in blindingly clear termstheir complaints with British rule,
their earlier attempts at resolution,
and an appeal to the Supreme Judge of the world for independence from the crown.
The rebel armies defending that declaration were not a disorganized mob, chanting slogans for the press and defacing public property.
Even the Minutemen, whose first scuffle with the British began the war, were a real armywith ranks, subordination, coordination, drills and supplies.
There is not a single mention in the historical record of Minutemenplaying hacky-sack, burning candles assembled in "peace and love," or sitting in drum circles.
A British lieutenant-general who fought the Minutemen observed,"Whoever looks upon them as an irregular mob will find himself very much mistaken."
By contrast, the directionless losers protesting "Wall Street" -- Obama's largest donor group -- pose for the cameras while uttering random liberal cliches lacking any reason or coherence.
But since everything liberals do must be heroic, the "Occupy Wall Street" crowd insists on comparing themselves to this nation's heroes.
One told Fox News' Bill Schulz:"I was born to be here, right now,
the founding fathers have been passing down the torch to this generation to make our country great again."
The Canadian environmental group behind Occupy Wall Street, Adbusters, has compared the Wall Street "revolutionaries" to America's founding fathers.(Incidentally, those who opposed the American Revolution fled after the war to ... Canada.)
The -- again -- Canadians exulted,"You sense they're drafting a new Declaration of Independence."
I suppose you only "sense" it because they're doing nothing of the sort.
They say they want Mao as the president -- as one told Schulz -- and the abolition of "capitalism."
The modern tea partiers never went around narcissistically comparing themselves to Gen. George Washington.And yet they are the ones who have engaged in the kind of political activity Washington fought for.
The Tea Party name is meant in fun, inspired by an amusing rant from CNBC's Rick Santelli in February 2009, when he called for another Tea Party
in response to Obama's plan to bail-out irresponsible mortgagers.
The tea partiers didn't arrogantly claim to be drafting a new Declaration of Independence.They're perfectly happy with the original.
Tea partiers didn't block traffic, sleep on sidewalks, wear ski masks, fight with the police or urinate in public.They read the Constitution, made serious policy arguments,
and petitioned the government against Obama's unconstitutional big government policies, especially the stimulus bill and Obamacare.
Then they picked up their own trash and quietly went home.
Apparently, a lot of them had to be at work in the morning.
In the two years following the movement's inception, the Tea Party played a major rolein turning Teddy Kennedy's seat over to a Republican,
making the sainted Chris Christie governor of New Jersey,
and winning a gargantuan, historic Republican landslide in the 2010 elections.
They are probably going to succeed in throwing out a president in next year's election.
That's what democracy looks like.
Just to help identify Marine One
Do you remember Obama turning tail and fleeing "Restoring Honor"?
