On the photos above I can only spot one or two black people, there are way more Asians than blacks it seems.

She is right on one thing: they have no jobs. Isn't that the main reason they are out there? Imagine if there were jobs for everyone. They would be too busy to protest.

You call the tea party a mob, but they were not violent, had a point, did no pollute or urinate in public and were for people keeping their own money more than growing government.
Also, the unions have been busing people to this event.

I think its funny that people on the right claim these people are manufactured shills while the tea party is a true grass roots organization. The truth is somewhere in the middle.

I for one say let them protest. I'm curious to see what happens from here.

I am indifferant, i don't reallly know what they stand for they are just a Frustrated group now, eventually they will consolidate their beliefs, then i will form my opinion on them as a group.

As a general thing i do suport protesting.

Interestingly, the Tea Party event that took place over a year ago only drew about 200.
The tea party didn't have unions bringing buses of activists in to march for a totalitarian communist government. True enough!

They are marching for a totalitarian communist government which gives everything to some by taking lots away from others who earned it.
They are being bussed in by unions. SHOCKER!

Which is true it wasn't the unions, the tea party were bused in by the Koch's for a totalitarian, corporatist/fascist government.
