What a load of steaming, stinking brown stuff! The only similarity is they both demonstrate. But the Tea Party demonstrations do not create massive garbage and excrement messes for somebody else to clean up. They clean up after themselves. They do not threaten violence, as one OWS demonstrator has done (see link). There IS no violence at their demonstrations (see the news about the rapes, murders, and stabbings at OWS gatherings). They don’t “camp out” on somebody else’s property, claiming First Amendment protection for violating the rights of the owners of that property. The Tea Party people have clear demands, including smaller government, less intrusion on our lives, fewer taxes, and more freedom.
The OWS people CLAIM to want a lot of things, but they all “boil down” to one demand: a “free ride” at the expense of others. And their “targets” are all wrong: the biggest group of “top one percenters” are in Congress, and most have made that money because it is not illegal for members of Congress to “insider trade,” making their money doing what, for us, is ILLEGAL. Check out the number of congresspeople who came to Washington barely making it who are now “filthy rich.” The Clintons and other well-known political names come to mind. (The Blaze)

Speaking of tea parties, look at this lavish affair they hid to prevent a political backlash!
"White House threw secret 'Alice in Wonderland' bash during recession

It was the tea party the Obamas just couldn’t resist. A White House “Alice in Wonderland” costume ball — put on by Johnny Depp and Hollywood director Tim Burton — proved to be a Mad-as-a-Hatter idea that was never made public for fear of a political backlash during hard economic times, according to a new tell-all. “The Obamas,” by New York Times correspondent Jodi Kantor, tells of the first Halloween party the first couple feted at the White House in 2009. It was so over the top that “Star Wars” creator George Lucas sent the original Chewbacca to mingle with invited guests.
The book reveals how any official announcement of the glittering affair — coming at a time when Tea Party activists and voters furious over the lagging economy, 10-percent unemployment rate, bank bailouts and Obama’s health-care plan were staging protests — quickly vanished down the rabbit hole.
“White House officials were so nervous about how a splashy, Hollywood-esque party would look to jobless Americans — or their representatives in Congress, who would soon vote on health care — that the event was not discussed publicly and Burton’s and Depp’s contributions went unacknowledged,” the book says.
However, the White House made certain that more humble Halloween festivities earlier that day — for thousands of Washington-area schoolkids — were well reported by the press corps.
Then the Obamas went inside, where an invitation-only affair for children of military personnel and White House administrators unfolded in the East Room.
Unbeknownst to reporters, the State Dining Room had also been transformed into a secretive White House Wonderland. Tim Burton decorated it “in his signature creepy-comic style. His film version was about to be released, and he had turned the room into the Mad Hatter’s tea party, with a long table set with antique-looking linens, enormous stuffed animals in chairs, and tiered serving plates with treats like bone-shaped meringue cookies,” reports the book, which The Post purchased at a Manhattan bookstore. “Fruit punch was served in blood vials at the bar. Burton’s own Mad Hatter, the actor Johnny Depp, presided over the scene in full costume, standing up on a table to welcome everyone in character.”
The Obamas’ daughters, Malia and Sasha, then 11 and 8 respectively, “sat at the table, surrounded by a gaggle of their friends, and then proceeded to the next delight, a magic show in the East Room.”"
They were thumbing their noses at the Tea Party and at the many jobless and financially suffering Americans by spending taxpayer money on their own lavish entertainment. I hate these two more every second.
