"What's particularly powerful is that the Wall Street brand is looked down on by both the left, and the Tea Party. Tea Party leaders are doing what they can to suggest that their supporters are against the occupy WS groups, but just because they say it doesn't make it true, and you can bet that there are alot of individuals in the Tea Party movement that really do support the occupation."

Good point, and it makes sense that many Tea Party supporters would support the reasons behind Occupy Wall Str. It's just that they're so entrenched in their partisanship that they'd rather not speak about it because they might be singled out by the rest. Which is sad, because actually both TP and OWS could achieve a lot more together than separately. If they wanted to.
