“The message of Occupy Wall Street is we think both political parties are owned by the same guys,” said David Graeber, a former professor of anthropology at Yale who joined in the protests. “If democracy is to mean anything, it means that everybody has to weigh in on this process of how money is created and promises are renegotiated.”

But still very little Tea Party support even though the Tea Party wants to get rid of the Fed. They have a common enemy, but they just can't seem to drag themselves in the mud with the "hippies".

They seem to be getting a little focus, a little lucidity. The Tea Party could create a far bigger stir, though. They'd get more protestors and it would be very hard to have the police justify pepepr spraying a middle aged mother or retired veteran. That wouldn't look good on camera. But I doubt these hippies will march on Congress or the White House, there'd be too much internal conflict.

More like they choose to follow the lawful route rather than taking part in anarchy designed to destroy our Constitutional Republic.

Yes, that could be a major factor.

The Tea Party can apply for permits to march or gather in a public place...all perfectly legal. Have they done that? No.

We all have the right to peacefully assemble. I'm not sure how the protesters ended up in the middle of the Brooklyn bridge. Many are saying that they were herded there by the police. Others are saying that protesters spilled out into the street.

At any rate, it is my constitutional right to march and protest on public property. I don't need a stinking permit for that.

Maybe....maybe not.

All cities have their own codes.
