Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1549342 He started to get out of control so "they" decided to take him out and has a bonus they got a few riots, social disruption and racial tensions. Uh, have you ever listened to him speak? No, I don't think so. Take 8 minutes right now and watch this vid...it won't hurt. |

Any movement based on hatred and class envy is doomed to degenerate rather quickly, as we saw. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 6170577 There really seems to be a stark contrast between the two movements... I went to a Tea Party rally last summer, just to see for myself what was up. Nicest, friendliest folks I ever met. Lawn chairs and happy, smiling people. Not what I'm seeing at the Occupy rallies. You speak about the Occupy movement in the past tense, but I think we'll see them back in force in the spring and leading all the way up to the next election. |

I can't believe how many years I've lived without listening to what he was saying... Are there any leaders alive today who teach peace and brotherhood as well? No there doesn't seem to be any leadership at all right now. We seem to be living in a very dark time spiritually. My hope is that it's the darkness right before the dawn. |

As for the Tea Party I was very involved at its inception and at that time they had many different speakers all concerned about the constitution but sadly its been hijacked by mainline republicans not interested in the constitution, but votes. Talk about congress issueing war or our money and you are no longer welcome. I am done with tea party.

Quoting: Forward Observer It took all of 10 years for the full-blooded Marxists to take control of the Democrat Party and it will likely take almost as long for constitutionalists to take control of the GOP. Don't give up so easily. We need to get hacks like Boehner and McConnell out of leadership positions. We need people like Allen West and Marco Rubio in leadership. MLK didn't give up and go home after a couple rallies and I'd hazard to guess his road was a bit tougher than yours.. |

Just as MLK stood before the nation and challenged it to live up to its creed or liberty, so too do the Tea Party members. King didn't demand anything of anyone that every other citizen wasn't already entitled to. In that respect, the civil rights movement was an individualist movement, compared to the collectivist movement of OWS. There are no such thing as group rights in this country, only individual rights. |

Quoting: OmarEastwind He was a puppet, pawn, tool, patsy, stool pigeon, false prophet, who helped the ruling class sustain the enslavement of working class by transforming slavery into a new multiracial form. If you want to study a black spiritual prophet, look up Marcus Garvey. You won't find any praise for him in the mass media or government funded educational institutions. |

But he DID try to educate blacks..to help them become self-sufficient! He didn't blame white people (unless they were truly guilty of some outrage, like forcing blacks to ride in the back of a public bus). I think you might have formed your opinion without doing good research and actually listening to MLK's words/actions. To say that MLK was an idiot is pretty weak.... |

I agree...it's going to take years of concerted effort to get back on track. I hope we can do it. I'm sure the Tea Party isn't perfect, but I think it's a good step back toward smaller government and the Constitution. Are there better options? |

He is used as an example for that at at least one major university. Maybe the U of Vancouver? Can be found with Google. One of the most important aspects of conspiracy theories is being able to discern when there isn't one. Oh yeah, like you'd understand anyway.
