When Faux News promoted (excuse me, "covered") the Tea Party Movement, I missed all the stories about how real people spontaneously (under their own steam and not having to be bussed in) took to the streets in hundreds of cities and towns all across America (and in several foreign countries as well) to express their support and solidarity with the Tea Party. Damn Lame Stream Media! But then Faux News didn't cover these expressions of support either - because THERE WEREN'T ANY!
No wonder Wall Street, the M$M, and the folks at Faux News are scared. #OWS is beyond their control or influence.
A "grass-root movement" is metaphorically about real grass (i.e., people); not the kind you can smoke and certainly not Astroturf.

I'm sick of the comparisons between #OWS and the Tea Party. There is no comparison. Yes, they are part of the 99%, but they don't know it YET.
