Compare Tea Party Protesters to Wisconson's

I see that the Labor/Lefty protestors are now occupying the state capitol building. For all the scorn heaped on the Tea Party last year, when did their protests ever do that?

I notice that the workers are looking out for their own interests while the Tea Party protestors were concerned about the country's interests.

The establishment press gave considerable time and attention looking for and reporting on the occasionally ill-behaved protestor and the bad taste sign when covering the Tea Party but seem to go out of their way to avoid reporting on bad things on the current protests.

Just comparing.
