That is the stupidest chart I may have ever seen.

At least try not to be an idiot every time you post something.

You posted the stupid chart.

And you are a clueless idiot.

And you haven't removed the idiotic chart.

I"ll make you a deal - I'll remove it when you stop being an idiot. Of course that means it will never come down.

That chart is ridiculous. To say the media hasn't ridiculed the tea party is an outright lie (with the exception of Fox News).
The tea party members carrying guns have the necessary permits to do so. The OWS'ers that were restrained by the police were treated that way because they were not obeying police orders. They weren't maced due to their dissidence, they have every right to protest regardless of how ignorant and lazy they are, they do not have the right to ignore authorities simply doing their jobs and attempting to uphold the law.
To call all tea party members racist zenophobes is typical liberal propaganda. Every group has fringe members (though some of those "racist" we're clearly liberal plants attempting to discredit the tea party). How can you say a group with members of every creed and color is racist?
I'm not a tea party member, a lot of them fail to understand that libertarianism is not just about market principals, it also pertains to social issues. That's we're my views differ from a lot of the members of that group. That said, all a large percentage of them want is for us to uphold the founder's principals. oWS'ers want to drive us into a socialist/communist state and away from what has made this country great so there is no position they hold that a true American can get behind.
Love it or leave it. There are plenty of countries that would provide them the government supported sharing of misery they so desperately want to implement here.

Hey, autiger, welcome to the world of Grad. The chart is as accurate as anything else he posts. In that sense it's a perfect metaphor. He's kinda Robert with delusions of grandeur.

From the Occupy Wall Street chart:

Quote:"Media ignores occupations for other a month then ridicules them"

Overall, media reaction, both from just-the-facts-ma'am reporters and from staff columnists, has been respectful, generally positive, and oftentimes sympathetic to their cause.

This is just a sampling of one large market - Detroit. These pieces tend to read like a homer sports guy on the beat covering the local football team. (here, here, here, and here)

A quote from the first link: "Either way, there is a sense of hope and energy and concern about the future that ought to be seen as healthy." Hardly ridicule. Another quote: "The 100 or so residents of Occupy Detroit have different backgrounds and varying political beliefs." I'm calling BS on this one. Varying political beliefs? Unless they mean "sorta left" and "very left" as two distinct ideologies.

Meanwhile last spring, talkingheads from Olbermann to Krugman decided to position Jared Loughner, Gifford's shooter, as someone directly influenced by right-wing talk radio and Palin's "target" map, despite zero evidence, in an effort to stifle conservative arguments and squelch any disagreement as 'rhetoric' and 'uncivil discourse'.

Anyhow, outside of some overtly conservative columnists and bloggers, the media hasn't been hostile to the OWS protests at all. Quite the opposite, actually.

Speaking of that chart, it fails to mention how many tea partiers were arrested compared to the OWS loons. It calls the tea party racists but the OWS loons are PROVEN anti-semites, they use drugs, girls have been raped, and no party will support them because they have no money to donate.

Who has my bongos?
