The issue with the OWS movement is that, unlike the Tea Party, it lacks a directed purpose. Some protesting are against "greed" - they disagree with TARP and other bailouts (which so does the Tea Party), others disagree with capitalism entirely. Some want serious tax reform, others call for revolution and an overthrow of the entire system. Some advocate peace, while others encourage and partake in violence.

I am afraid that on that part you are very wrong, the tea party ticks all the boxes you say it doesn't, you get the same jumbled and contradictory argements coming out at tea party protests as you get at wall street ones, the many splits within the tea party movement are due to their different agendas and aims, indeed the more nationaly united organised tea party groups are the ones being run by the very people a large number of tea partiers say they are against.
The rest of the post is good though.
