I tried googling Tea party Protests on April 19, 2010 and couldn't find any. What specific town or city was the OP referring to?

I looked at that web site and its authenticity is suspect. It seems more geared to selling merchandise and only lists blogs and websites. I went to the other tea party website and they have far more information and more organized contributors. And the author of that article was only telling people to go to their state capitals and to protest, it didn't seem that anything was really being set up, just suggested. I think this thread is much ado about nothing. I still couldn't find one actual protest that occurred that day and gave up searching after several pages of searching. No more threads based on heresay and unfounded rumors, please. Lock this thread already, it serves no purpose.
April 15th was the tea party protest tax day, tax day, not the anniversary of Oklahoma bombing. 4 days makes a big difference

Most of them happened on April 15. Quite a few here in San Diego.

What's amusing is before a black Democrat was elected to the highest office, the Teabagger types didn't know the difference between April 19 and Mothers Day. Where were they when the crap was circling the bowl during the Bush years? Even the mouth breathers must have realized Dubya was a boob. The Teabaggers can deny and whine about it all they want, but Obama's race and the fact that so many blacks campaigned for him plays a HUGE part in their rage. Any thinking person knows exactly what their "We Want Our Country Back" war cry means.

so you're calling tea partiers racist again? black people are crying "we want our country back" too, and if you don't know why then you shouldn't be commenting.

its because the money is gone, we're over our head in debt and the governement is still spending my hard earned tax dollars without my consent, i want my country back dammit!

What's next, having a rally on 9/11? In very poor taste and irresponsible.
Contained in your question is the suggestion that there is very little difference between the Tea Parties and Timothy McVeigh. Which was really the whole point of your post. So why beat around the bush?
