Unfortunately there were some racist that showed up to tea party events and said some dumb and bigoted stuff, however the core of the tea party was pretty quick to kick those type of people out. Most people in this thread have been ignoring the very present raciest side of OWS protests because like tea party it too seems to only represent a very small faction of protesters. So theres really no need to post a racist picture of a OWS protester for every racist picture of a tea party protester. Both represent the few stupid people in the respective groups.

While rapists and murderers also may not represent the OWS movement as a whole the severity of these offense is so great I think its wrong to ignore them or the overall crime element at these protests. I think this makes for great thought:

Over 2,400 Tea Partiers Arrested

Why is there such a double standard for OWS vs Tea Party protests?
