I know most lefties believe that the Tea Party they see and hear about today started as a Fox news funded racist protest against the first "black" president but do you really know how the modern Tea Party started?
Did you know that the Tea Party started as a group of people who supported Ron Paul during the 2008 presidential election cycle? Did you know that the Tea Party got it's name from the Dec 16th 2007 Tea Party tax protest that was held in Boston MA to support Ron Paul's 2008 presidential run? Did you know that Tea Party supporters donated more money to Ron Paul's campaign in one day than any other political campaign in history? Do you know that before Palin, Fox or the Koch brothers were ever involved there were millions of people supporting the Ron Paul Tea Party as part of the Ron Paul revolution.
Before you attack this thread and claim that Tea Party supporters are all racist try educating yourself and realize how it all started instead of what it has become today years later. The Tea Party you see today and attack today has very little to do with the Ron Paul Tea Party supporters who started the entire movement.
Proof that any of that actually happened? Show me some videos of the KKK recruiting people at Tea Party rallies. Show me some Stormfront members speaking at Tea Party rallies.
It took place on December 16th 2007 in Boston in the form of a protest against high taxes and an out of control federal government. There's video of it in post #1.

Video says it was a fundraiser for Ron Paul's campaign.

It was, it was a fundraiser to help fund his 2008 presidential campaign in order for him to fix the problems in DC (out of control gov. and high taxes) which is what we were protesting that day in Boston. The modern Tea Party got it's name from the Ron Paul Boston Tea Party Protest which of course got it's name from the original Boston Tea Party which was a tax protest. Understand now?

I still don't understand how a fundraiser for a presidential campaign = a protest.
If I go to an Obama fundraiser, does that mean I'm attending a protest?
