Yes, but that's precisely the point of the article. The original aims of many of the early members of the Tea Party (but not all) were noble, but were hijacked by the moneyed interests and Republicans. Similarly, the aims of many of the early members of the 99% (but not all) are noble, and just like before with the Tea Party we see Democrat establishment trying to co-opt the movement. The Republicrat modus operandi is to fracture support at either end of the spectrum. Want to discredit the Tea Party among liberals? Easy. Have Fox News et al support it. Want to marginalize the 99% among conservatives? No problem. Have someone like George Soros give a donation and they will reflexively tune out their message. The thing that scares the ruling class the most is the people actually coming together in the middle and directing that energy for real change, not just tinkering around the edges of the system.
