The ODC group at Freedom Plaza received an extension until Feb 28, but will have to share the plaza with a “Pro Greed” & “Pro Inequality” group of tea baggers.

This should be fun to watch the interactions of the groups.

I am guessing most of the republican candidates and members of congress will be there shouting “Greed is great” and “Inequality Forever”.

Reality is even better than the Onion.

The Occupy group will have to share space on the plaza in February with a group from the National Center for Public Policy Research, a free-market think tank based in the District, the Park Service said.
That group plans a number of pro-capitalism, pro-free-market rallies at lunchtime on the plaza from Feb. 12 through March 15.

Amy Ridenour, the group’s president, said that members were inspired to apply for the protest permit weeks ago to counter the message of the Occupy movement, which speaks out against what it sees as corporate greed and economic inequality. But Ridenour’s group had believed that the Occupy protesters would be gone by the time the think-tank protest began and did not expect to be sharing the plaza.

The conflict won't last long, the Tea Baggers eventually have to go back to work.

The real question is can the Tea Party people there manage to clean up after both themselves (which they have always done) and the occupest (who leave filth in their wake)

That might be hard to hear over the occupest chant's of "give me give me give me give me"

Notice the tea party folks are doing it over lunch time.... because they have jobs that pay for the pests.
