If we (gun owners) had a protest because they (the powers that be) wanted to shred brass and jack the price of ammo through the roof; they would be calling us a bunch of right wing nut jobs.

I don't care about their cause one way or another. I will add this if you don't think Wall Street has gutted this country with their greed then you are living on Pluto.
Apples to Oranges Ranger, as Byte noted all the TP rallies were lawfully permitted and they had been planned and had consulted with official entities. They also had a clear and concise message.
Total contrast to what equates to disorganized squatters.
We all have the right to voice disapproval, but the way you present it speaks volumes and either discounts or adds credibility to ones cause.
You want to see a good illustration in contrast? Look at the photos of the Washington Monument and WWII Veterans Monument in DC after Beck's "Restore Courage" rally last year.
Then look at photos of the same places after the gathering that was led by Al Sharpton and crew shortly thereafter.

I will agree that Wall Street and Corporate greed have devastated our country and economy but the REAL problem lies with the policies and tax structure that allow the above mentioned to run rampant, encourage outsourcing and operate with impunity.
