Well, one thing I can say for the OWS protests. At least they know how to spell their picket signs.

Unlike the tea party and their intellectual forebears.

I think history will ultimately remember OWS (if it lasts anyway) as similar to the hippies of the ’60s- full of naive college kids and radicals, but with the heart of the movement in the right place. The teabaggers will go down with the Know Nothings and Birchers as nothing more than hateful nativists afraid that “their” country was being taken away from them by the bogeyman of the moment.

Big difference.
