Tea Party movement had the blessings of the Republican Party whereas OWS is largely apolitical grass-root movement. Tea Party movement was directed against the Democrats and the black President whereas the OWS is a protest movement against the very system.

Many of the American OWS protesters might be equally opposed to the democrats as well.
