Occupy Wall Street?
They're No Tea Partiers

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Washington, D.C.–
Today, Jenny Beth Martin and Mark Meckler, co-founders of the Tea Party Patriots, the nation’s largest tea party organization, contrasted the tea party movement with the “Occupy Wall Street” protests in New York and other cities.

“For two years now, tea partiers have stood firmly on principle and helped shape the political debate in this country. They believe in time-honored American values, principles and systems—including the freedom to innovate and employ people to implement and distribute one’s ideas to the public. They believe freedom from government allows entrepreneurs to try new things, see what works and discard what doesn’t. They don’t believe corporations aren’t inherently evil, nor should bankers be beheaded. They do not believe this country should be divided by class, but united in a return to the principles that undergird our nation’s success. In fact, they want more of what made America great: more Constitutional restraint on government so that the people have more freedom to achieve the good things the country offers.

“By contrast, those occupying Wall Street and other cities, when they are intelligible, want less of what made America great and more of what is damaging to America: a bigger, more powerful government to come in and take care of them so they don’t have to work like the rest of us who pay our bills.

“The tea party, meanwhile, was a spontaneous, organic and fast-moving movement, but it has maintained a cogent message: a demand for fiscal responsibility in government.

“Tea party rallies have always been safe and clean. Unlike in New York, we can find no reports of tea partiers being arrested, individually or en masse, at the thousands of tea parties across the country with millions of attendees that have taken place for years now. They are not lawbreakers, they don’t hate the police, they don’t even litter. A quick glance at the TV reveals the sharp contrast posed by the Wall Street occupiers.

“Yet the Leftist media cheers for a group of lawbreaking troublemakers who occupied a park in New York, blocked the Brooklyn Bridge, were arrested by the hundreds and treated law enforcement with disrespect and disdain—all while trying to tear down the foundations of the greatest nation on earth.


“Such a media response is expected. But when you compare these people with tea partiers—now you’ve got a problem with We the People.”

1. I just had to read the very beginning ...

Occupy Wall Street? They're No Tea Partiers.

QED

[Turbineguy]

2. Those Teabaggers are smart.

They hire The Onion to write this stuff.

[Blue Owl]

3. "Tea party rallies have always been safe and clean"

"In fact, there have been on average three porta-johns for every one attendee."

[JuniperLea]

10. And three guns for every porta-john!

Even the guns are clean!

[gratuitous]

11. Unless you're Lauren Vallee

Anyone remember her? Because the Tea Baggers sure hope you don't. She showed up last year at a Rand Paul rally with a sign deemed insufficiently supportive of Tea Bagger philosophy, and got curb stomped by the "safe and clean" Tea Baggers.

19. +1,000,000,000

4. did you transcribe

or just copy and paste? "They don’t believe corporations aren’t inherently evil,"

hehe - gee i wouldn't even go THAT far.

[drumminor2nd]

8. So...

I'm not the only one who caught the double negative... hehe...

[ceile]

17. I had to read that twice.

Big thinkers, they are.

[librechik]

5. OWS arrested by the hundreds? Tea Parties attended by the dozens.

I bet they're just jealous.

[denverbill]

6. 'They don’t believe corporations aren’t inherently evil'

So they do believe corporations are inherently evil then?

[Old and In the Way]

7. Sounds like something direct from the RNC boiler room or any one of the

myriad RNC astroturf groups. That seems to be the message their marketing....don't think it will fly, though.

[gratuitous]

9. Comparing the Occupy movement with the Tea Baggers

Yup, the Tea Baggers will find themselves on the short end of that stick. By the way, where ARE the Tea Baggers nowadays? Did the funding from their sugar daddies dry up? Nobody's funding the Occupy movement, certainly not like the Tea Baggers. And they're out there in force, weeks at a time, in fair weather and foul. The Tea Baggers scurried back to their cozy homes at the first hint of cloudy weather.

[EC]

12. What B.S. ..

On edit: Why weren't any of the TPs arrested? I don't get that. Is it REALLY because they are republicans? I can't believe that they have that much clout. But as soon as our side starts any movement, out come the cops to arrest.

[sinkingfeeling]

13. And OWS is demanding "fiscal responsibility in the private sector".

[LondonReign2]

14. Cliffs Notes version

"We will happily continue to lick Corporations' asses."

[lunatica]

15. I still think their teabaggeratti but their learning to use spell check

LOL!

[LondonReign2]

16. Errmmmm..."they're"

[Enthusiast]

18. Unrecommended.....nt

[AntiFascist]

20. Tea Baggers suck balls....

of the Koch Brothers. There also is a statistically significant correlation between being a tea bagger and being a member of the White Supremacy Movement. Just sayin'.

[Fantastic Anarchist]

21. There's a double negative in there somewhere.

Anyone spot it?

[7wo7rees]

22. "...so they don’t have to work like the rest of us who pay our bills."

So if we could all have our bills paid, WITHOUT working, we could be friends again?

So you HAVE to work, but you admire the billionaires who don't?

So "the rest of us who work" means you think I don't work? Jealous much?

So who is this "of us" you speak?

So if your bills weren't regulated by the government, you'd work harder to pay them, even as they escalated?

So if your job wasn't regulated by the PEOPLE in the government, you'd be pleased to pay your higher bills with less hours in the day and less money in your pocket?

So what "bills" do you think billionaires worry about paying the most? Rent? Cable? English sign-making classes?

So why don't those friendly billionaires you admire, like George Soros, come out to play with your gun-toting redneck klansmen brothers, when Obammy is speaking?



This kind of thoughtlessness to their position can only be organic horseshit. No Republican operative writer need apply.
