Fifty-four percent of respondents harbor a positive view of the burgeoning protest movement, well above the 23% with a negative opinion. By contrast, just 27% of those surveyed have favorable views of the Tea Party, while 65% say its impact on U.S. politics since its inception in 2009 has been negative or negligible.

Sounds about right to me. Remember, not all American voters are the right-wing as on this forum. Reality is out there in mainstream America - not just this little bubble.

This poll is not a surprise to me becausefar to many of Americans are losing their moral compass as evidenced by the type of screen viewing popular with these folks such as thefilthy reality shows and their making idols of musicians and singers most people my age ran from back then. We celebrate single motherhood . Our educational system has dumb down true learning to such a degree that we are beginning to be upstaged by third world countries. Drug and sex are treated as if they are rights of passage and just what the average kid is expected to do..................................

So if you believe I am surprised by that poll I am not, it just points to how far we have declined. when I was a kid attending catholic school our Mother Superior foretold that the way America was headed it would someday fall like Rome. We are getting closer and closer and because of that we need more Tea Party type organizations. Heck I now long for return of the Legion of Decency. So go ahead and celebrate these depraved derlicts who refuse to accept responsibility for their acts. In some respects illegal immigrants are prferable to the OWS proters.

GREAT GREAT POST !!!

Flat out, on the mark in all you say. This nation has just deteriorated into a spectacle. Supporting groups who destroy property and flat out spend our taxpayer money (and if you add up the costs to cities and municipalities, the cost will be use) to show what they are AGAINST is scary. The sex and drugs are mainly the reason most are even there.

How about talking as it used to be...what we are FOR. Folks just accept things as you say today.....and say it is ok....without once thinking of what their actions do to our society. Why are these folks not supporting something or somebody instead of partying...and trust me...that is what is happening !!!

Incredible post... You don't have one shred of evidence for the preposterous allegations you post here....partying? sex and drugs???? huge costs??? FOR nothing??? accept as you say???

Sorry, but the rhetoric is just unbelievable sometimes.

The lamestream media has been hammering the Tea Party with as much enthusiasm as they slandered and libeled and defamed Gov. Sarah Palin. With the success they had in convincing a multitude of brain-dead Americans of Gov. Palin's "undesirability", they are hell-bent on repeating their "success" by misrepresenting and lying about the purpose and the nature of the working class Americans who identify themselves as supporters of the Tea Party.

Their ultimate goal is to get you to be too ashamed to admit you support the agenda of the Tea Party.

They won't succeed, but not for lack of trying.

Could someone please quote the post that said "liberals are nazis"...?

Actually, there has been evidence of "Occupy" debauchery. This is a couple news stories commenting on the sex, drugs and lawlessness.

you may apologize to Katz at your earliest convenience.

...and we have Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, and the rest of the FOX Noise to make sure the truth, justice, and the American Way is felt all over this land.

Sorry if the real news doesn't fit your agenda. But you can always make it up as you go along. It's never stopped the liberal media before.

Granted, these links provide information to support your position. If you read the articles, they describe the folks who have "infiltrated" the OWS movement; hiding, if you will. I don't believe these articles accurately describe the movement, at large. I say, "fringe" elements that are with all of the movements; both left and right.

I could produce links too, but they would be characterized as the lame-stream media....how convenient ...

For what, do I owe Katz an apology ?

Liberals are quick to notice possible infiltration of illegitimate protesters into the throngs of people at the "Occupy" protests on one hand, while in the other ignore similar reported behavior by leftists activists standing on the fringes of Tea Party rallies with vile signs meant to tarnish that gathering.
