1. There is none. Therein reside's OWS strength, and the inability for it's foes to pin it down

I knew the teaparty was a fraud from the get-go. The only thing remote populistic about it was the large numbers of knumbskulls that were used as useful idiots.

An OWS tour bus would be too inviting a target for RW crazies.

6. I was reading comments on a Republican blog last night

We might be able to bring some of the "useful idiots" Tea Partiers to our side. I saw a comment from a Tea Party person talking about how the Tea Party was against rule by corporations and "crony" capitalism. We should try to reach out to any Tea Partiers with those ideas.

9. Agreed. A lot of Tparty anger was at gov't for special interest by special interest.

Then it got co-opted by special interests, heigh ho.

It was astroturf from the beginning.
