1. Aw, c'mon, now we're besmirching the anarchists amongst us?
I think they are kind of useful. They're usually the ones spear-heading the more serious civil disobedience like blocking streets and confronting the cops with barricades and the like.

Sure, some of them do pranks like deflate cops' tires and throw tear gas back at them, but what would the movement be like if everyone played nice like with the Tea Parties? It would be far more easy for the corporate MSM to just write the whole movement off as nothing but "hot air" -- with no serious threat of resistance to the encroaching police state.

2. It's not necessarily anarchy that is being shown
It's the infiltration of the 1% making trouble. And the fact that there are always a few bad apples in any group - these are what the movement is up against.
