I don't believe that the Koch Brothers (and others like them) latched on to the Tea Party movement until AFTER it had started (as a true grass roots movement of really pissed and patriotic AMERICANS). They and others like them saw something that could help further their agendas; however, what they don't realize is that while we might accept their donations and possibly even be aligned somewhat with their interests - the alignment stops once that agenda extends beyond the confines of the constitution.

Conversely, Soros (aka SEIU, Ruckus, ACORN, OBAMA etc.) funded and STARTED this "bankster/Wallstreet" hatred and occupation, with the full intent of manipulating the impressionable youth into furthering their SOCIALIST agenda, and hopefully creating an antehetical movement to combat the GROWING Tea Party sentiment.

Even before our OP here posted this information (thanks, by the way), most of us knew this "day of marxist rage" didn't add up to anything good for this country. They're statements are certainly in line with what many of us want to see, but their intent is so obvious to most of us, they'll fade into obscurity very soon (much like Air America and Al Franken)....

The animosity you they are experiencing toward this movement is driven by that agenda that most of us (including the NY Police) plainly see.
