Exerpt from a conversation...
This has nothing to do with either party. They're protesting Obama too, just not blindly and based on distorted information like Obama-haters.
And the tea party was not a grass roots movement. It was an astroturf movement. I specifically remember the first one I saw, maybe 8 people in the rain holding signs that had nothing to do with the situation. You could tell it didn't add up. It went from that to big flag-covered tour buses of media being driven in to promote it 24/7 on its own network.
Why do you always, constantly forget that the tea party was funded and fueled by the Koch brothers and Fox News specifically to harm Obama politically, take back the House and reverse progress to cast blame for the next election, no matter how far away it was? It simply provided a counter atmosphere of instant opposition and discontent. They were busy on this before Obama was even elected.
The tea party wore funny costumes because their researchers and d!*@ Armey determined it would strike a chord with the older, more patriotic types that hated Obama already, based on his funny name and multicultural past, and plans to turn the page in history.
OWS wore a common theme, to make a public statement, one time. They have no common garb or theme, scripted for them by the politicians and the media.
I guess it's just not all connecting up for most of you. The blatant hypocrisy of the media exposing exactly who runs what. It's seriously like you guys don't read a word... one more time...
Tea party "patriots" = want to abolish Washington and secede, zero government, basically revolt against all government, only when Obama comes along, praised and fueled by media.
Occupy Wall Street "anarchists" = global revolution of peaceful people from all walks of life, income brackets, races, professions, in 200 U.S. cities and 10 or so countries, set on exposing the truth and investing in Americans and America.
You seriously don't get how the media operates and who is behind the positive and negative imagery of each? Promoting the fake one for a political/ financial purpose, and surpressing and distorting the real one for the same political/financial purpose. This is why they are there doing what they are doing.
They took it upon themselves to go down there and stay, and get online. Now the whole world is joining in peaceful solidarity. The only way to break out of this corporate-controlled media illusion we are all trapped in.
Everything we are hearing, is scripted and distorted by corporate interests to counter them, to keep on doing what they do, profit at the expense of others. But real information exists, the whole world can see it. We're literally breaking out of a media bubble.
