A recent survey by The Washington Post and the Pew Research Center showed Occupy Wall Street to be more popular now than the Tea Party, which keeps losing ground. The poll also showed that these two movements are quite distinct — they are not part of some generalized protest.

So which group is which??

“We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms -- to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.”
- Viktor Frankl

Take your head out of the sand, and watch some of this coverage. If the majority of the OWS folks are the educated and idealistic of America, we're screwed.

Heck look at the coverage. What do you expect with 75% of the stories about the Tea Party are negative and 85% of the OWS is positive. American's as a collective are pretty stupid and don't dig much deeper than the headlines.

Pay the f*ck attention to the details. The Washington Post? That'd be like someone posting a poll by FOX News or Planned Parenthood saying the opposite. If it isn't Rasmussen, I don't trust it.

What Weston said, consider the source. The Washington post is about as liberal as you cab get.

And NYIH, judging by your post youre saying the tea party isn't educated, would that be correct. Go walk around and talk to some of the OWS protesters and tell me if you truly think the majority of then are educated

This crap has been going on for weeks and I bet 80% of the OWS folks marching still don't know what they are marching against. They are doing it just to fit in and be cool. 95% of them probably don't know a thing about macroeconomics.

Ok you got me. I did just say that to get a rise out of the board, and yes I will fully admit that there are a ton of morons that are banging their bongos in a drum circle, but at the end of the day, the claims made about wealth inequality in America are right while angry white people that boo gay soldiers are nothing more than the militant wing of the GOP

Claims made about wealth inequality in America are irrelevant, because equality of wealth is a communist lie, and this isn't a communist country. There are several communist countries available to those who believe in equality of wealth, and I would suggest that your "educated ideologues" making claims about inequality of wealth in this country stop protesting the system that they grew fat and lazy off of and instead take up their belongings and move to China where they can support a system more in tune with their beliefs.
