Is The Occupy Wall Street Movement an Answer to The Tea Party Movement?

[heironymouspasparagus]

The tea partiers are already called tea baggers. Although actual "tea bagging" isn't happening whereas pee partying is.

Unsubstantiated comment alert - actual tea bagging isn't happening?

What was it that was said earlier... something about absence of evidence was not evidence of absence...?


If ever there were a possibility of tea bagging, it would be with the group that bears the name, wouldn't it?

I doubt it since at least most (possibly all) of the charter members originally had no idea of the term's "real" meaning.

It's why they decided not to call themselves the "Puppy bathers".

Oh, I bet they did....

I obviously find that difficult to believe.

I knew you would.  You are just like me...pick a side, I'll take the other...
Typical engineer mentality.

No need for insults.

You know better!!  That's the greatest compliment (complement?) I could ever give you!

If that's the best you can do, you are in deep do-do.

No dictionary to look up compliment/complement?  Your high school english teacher you are so proud of would be ashamed (or roll over in her grave if there).

Sad.  Now they are shooting themselves at Occupy Burlington.

Too bad those inflected will avoid the ugly 1%er doctors and drug companies for treatment.

They'd be turned away for better sources of cash anyway.

Excellent. It's nice to see some good press, rather than the constant focus on the few idiots who can't keep themselves from acting out.

The story continued today.

I found this bit interesting, just for the odd threat:

Franzen said Conway told Tawanna Rorey and her husband, a law enforcement officer with DeKalb County, that he would have them arrested for being accessories to trespassers.

Threaten the family because other people won't leave? Interesting tactic.
