Everyone is comparing the tea party with Wall Street protests. I don't know where these protests are going but considering how the tea party has successfully inserted itself in the system and has developed the means to change it shows how far behind the left is. For example, the left has no mechanism to "primary" candidates they don't want. Sleeping in the streets and fighting police ain't it. Grover Norquist says it best,

The tea party movement was formed in reaction to Obama’s massive increase in federal government spending. The movement was peaceful. No arrests. They voted out the Democrats in the House because the Republicans promised to fight against the Bush drift and Obama overdrive towards big spending.
The “Occupy Wall Street” movement began with illegal actions. Attacks on police and citizens. Blocking people trying to get to work or home. The two political movements demonstrate the difference between American conservatives and American “progressives.”
Also, check the trash left behind rallies by conservative vs. liberal interest groups.
