Is my impression right that the GOP-backed "tea parties" that occurred
yesterday (protesting taxes, Obama, and government in general) got
much more press coverage than similarly-sized anti-war rallies and
other rallies on the left? This is not counting Rupert Murdoch's Fox
Network's special effort to endorse and cultivate these "parties."

Don't these idiots know that the "Boston Tea Party" from which they claim inspiration was a *pro*tax protest--against abolition of the tea tax from which those patriot smugglers gained their illegal riches?
