They're also shitty that its not exactly "grass roots" and has the support of people with a potential ulterior motive.
Irony is officially dead.

It is not a race issue, it is a class issue.

It's kinda odd the Tea Party would say that...

It’s like a lot of the quotes that get featured here: some fundie doesn’t understand a criticism leveled against his or her position and simply resorts to, “No, YOU!”

I don't think either of these people actually checked to see the diversity of the OWS movement.
Like N. De Plume said, they just shot criticism back without thinking.

Well, aren't they technically... can't believe I have to say that... right? I mean, it's generally a rule that teabaggers are hypocritical and wrong. But here, they are raising a criticism that could have been receivable were they in any position to speak about diversity and popular legitimacy. I would argue that it is a step forward for them. |

Yeah, about that, how many horribly racist protest signs have you seen with Occupy Wall Street? |

Teabaggers usually are in full "shiny mirror" mode : horribly hypocritical and horribly wrong. Holding racist/homophobic/whatever signs in a gathering against the "oppression" of the state is very exemplary of this. Here, that's more of a "mote in the eye" kind of thing : they are only horribly hypocritical. This is an improvement, no matter how you put it. |

Of course you're going to see more white people than minorities as white is the majority, IE, there's more of us. My point is that we have other evidence of racism among Tea Parties, while they've only made claims of racism. |
