The Tea Party vs #OWS
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.

1. Last night Bill-o on FAUX shot down a suggestion that the Kochs were behind the tea party while...
...simultaneously connecting George Soros and MoveOn to OWS. He demanded proof on the Kochs from the correspondent making the accusation. Someone needs to tell Bill-o the Kochs have admitted it.
