Tea Partiers Slam Wall Street Protests As Angry Mobs

It was inevitable that the Occupy Wall Street protests would be compared to the tea party. Slightly less inevitable: that Occupy Wall Street would hear the same criticisms as the tea party…from the tea partiers themselves....

If you ask the tea partiers, however, the two movements could not be more different. But if you look closely, those differences start to sound a little bit familiar....

Exhibit A: It’s just an angry mob

Exhibit B: It’s all white people

Exhibit C: It’s not really grassroots

Angry all-white mobs? The projection is breath-taking:
