I can't say the Tea Party protests I went to were 100% free of racist and anti-semitic demonstrators, but the couple of examples I saw were pretty clearly ostracized by the vast majority of the group, which seems to stand in contrast with the anti-semitic clique among the OWS'ers.
The #1 difference is that the Tea Party always exercised its constitutional right to free speech, and then went home. Only the left seems to interpret free speech as meaning effective seizure of public (and sometimes private) property and interference with the freedom of movement and lives of others -- which is, I guess, in keeping with their stridently collectivist mindset.
