We keep propping up the OWS vs. Tea Party issue like they are fundamentally that different. As far as principles are concerned, the viewpoints are somewhat different but principally they both represent a large group of people who are dissatisfied with the system in place. One thing many representing OWS and the Tea Party have in common is their understanding of the issues are limited and they misplace blame. But what is important is both protests are composed of individuals, individuals who have opinions and believe in something strongly. Unfortunately there also exists individuals in a movement who could fairly be labeled as "racist" and bloodthirsty Imperialists and religious zealots and others in a movement that are in fact "rapists" and there are people who don't clean up after themselves very well. The point is in all instances these are the actions of individuals and it is important not to confuse the motives of the movement with the actions of individuals not endorsed by said movement. Let's be consistent, if you wish to judge the OWS as a protest composed of racist, dirty hippies it would be more than fair to label the Tea Party as a bunch of Racist Zionists, and vice-versa.
