Well, of course, without having to read the article I can boil it down for you in one key difference: the Tea Partiers lover America; the Occupy whiners & losers don’t.
But much more via Big Journalism:
Two weeks ago, I responded to the mainstream media labeling the Occupy Wall Street protests the left-wing version of the Tea Party. Apparently the reasons given to prove that comparison false were too vague for the media to understand, because they continue to make that comparison.
So to be helpful to the people in the “fourth estate,” I have created sort of a “difference between the Occupy Wall Street Protests, and the Tea Party Movement” guide for idiots and the Mainstream Media. It follows below:

In the end the, difference between Occupy Wall Street and the tea party is very similar to the difference between the President and his progressive supporters versus conservative Americans. Just like Occupy Wall Street, the progressives believe that American institutions need to be defaced and torn down; maybe the progressives don’t attack police cars, but they attack our freedoms.
Conservatives believe that tapping the drive of the American people is the best way to clean up our problems. For example, they believe that the best way to clean up the economy is to make it easier for Americans to run their own businesses. On the other hand, both the progressives and the Occupy Wall Street Protesters believe that it is government’s job to clean up their messes.
Conservatives and the tea party both believe in American exceptionalism; we would never travel the world apologizing for America the way President Obama did, and we would never deface representations of that exceptionalism such as “Old Glory” the way the Occupy Wall Street movement did.
