Like a disease.
Last time I checked, ZERO Tea Partiers have been arrested for anything since 2009, but just over the weekend unruly Occupy Wall Streeters in scores have been arrested:
175 arrests in Chicago;
another two dozen in New York City (where police were injured);
an unknown number of arrests in Tucson;
maybe 40 in Phoenix;
and at least two dozen in Colorado.
See the AP story here.
Tea Partiers protested bailouts in the name of free market capitalism's cure for failure: bankruptcy. They showed up at the ballot box in November 2010 and put a stop to Barack Obama's Democrat Party. Now they wait for November 2012.
Meanwhile, Occupy Wall Streeters suddenly decide to protest bailouts in the name of bailouts for their student loans, a living wage, and sundry other entitlements which don't yet exist but they hope to extract by mob action and intimidation, the modus operandi of the unions.
A cold snap can't come soon enough, or a flu epidemic.
