The Difference Between Occupy Wall Street And Teabaggers: REALITY
http://republicandirtytricks.com/the-difference-between-occupy-wall-street-protests-and-teabaggers-reality/



Since “Occupy Wall Street” began, Faux News, the corporate media and those in the top 1% have tried to paint the protests as nothing but a misguided rally of anarchists, simply looking for an excuse to sleep in a public park. Contrast that depiction with the framing of the Teabag Party movement – drawn as well-meaning, “average Joe,” political neophytes… finally awakened to action by the frightening “Socialist” takeover of government spearheaded by the Obama Administration. To live in the Reality-Based Community, is to know how laughable both assertions are.

We’ve seen those like Bill O’Reilly, in the traditional Conservative manor of “fixing the ‘facts’ around the policy,” and his producer-monkey skulk down to Liberty Square, and in their best impression of Andrew Breitbart, selectively-edit a piece making the protesters all look like fools.
As Media Matters reported:

“Fox News has begun attacking participants of the “Occupy Wall Street” protests across the country, claiming they are “deluded” and have “absolutely no purpose or focus in life.” Fox’s attacks stand in stark contrast with its relentless promotion and support of the tea party protests of 2009 and 2010.”

Rather than cause for demoralization on the part of working people everywhere, what these examples illustrate is the fact that the establishment elite are frightened and know their days of partying off our weary backs are numbered.

1. Nice poster


About sums it up


"the establishment elite are frightened and know their days of partying off our weary backs are numbered."

Yep. FOX was running a pro-TeaParty promo "Do you care about freedom of speech, worship and the press? Do you believe in the right to voice your opinion?" These days, I never hear that promo.

Wonder why not, Rupie? Hmmmmmmm :shrug:
