No, it only speaks of who their co-conspirators are, the establishment. But then what did you expect. After all, they are protesting the actions of the establishment and the establishment is reacting as they always do when the status quo is threatened. This is one of the reasons that this movement is very much like the civil rights movement of the 60's, despite the fact that most Americans sympathized with the goals of the movement the establishment was not prepared to accept what this meant and so they reacted in exactly the manner that the movement leaders knew that they would, which only made the rest of the population that much more sympathetic with their cause until it became inevitable that something had to change, and it did. The same will happen here as well. Already you can hear voices on the Right to start and redirect their criticism away from the protesters themselves and toward whom they feel are the people and organizations promoting it, suggesting that it's not really grass roots but rather some liberal conspiracy cashing in on the fears of the average citizen (as if this was not the modus operandi of the groups and people funding the Tea Party movement).

...yes, they are protected by the same rights and they have the same responsiblities. There have been hundreds of arrests at the ows rallies and none at the t party events. Speaks volumes about the differences in the two groups.
