OWS reminds me in many ways of the early Tea Party. The early Tea Party would have someone say something rational about taxes and tax reform only to be followed up by someone dressed like a southern civil war soldier who wanted to lynch Obama. They eventually refined their message, got rid of many of the crazies and focused on getting local officials elected to congress. Now, obviously, they did a lot of this because the republican party stepped in and took over aspects of the movement, bu they will were able to refine and articulate their ideals.
OWS will have a guy talk intelligently about how the supreme court made a terrible mistake by ruling that corporations are people and therefore have first amendment rights and can spend as much money as they want on campaigns. They make a strong poing and it is one shared by many. Then the next guy talks about destroying all banks.
