I'm amazed that no one's thought to crack out some music by the Tea Party yet, so I'll put some here for entertainment:

With that done, commentary!
The complete lack of cohesion of protest is often the exact same thing that those on the right use to criticise those on the left when they protest: "Oh, so this protest is about the global capitalist system that causes climate change in 3rd world countries while simultaneously making them poor because they're paying too much for our military?"
Exact same deal, so exact same lack of respect from the other side of politics.
What I do find interesting is that media channels are actively attempting to create news events. This breaches every journalistic ethic you can think of, especially if it's pushing a political agenda.
Now, I'm well aware that news services in America and impartiality go hand in hand like a dingo and a baby, but you'd think that someone inside would still have enough idealism to blow a whistle on this kind of thing... Or do workplaces in the States psychometrically test for political and moral bias in employees now? I know my last job interview here did.
But back on point, it's interesting that people are protesting taxes that aren't even in effect yet, and taxes that would be lowered for them, but then actually refuse to do anything real about it.
These are the same people that derided the left side for their useless protests during the GWBush era, saying it would do nothing. And they were right. Why do they suddenly think their own protests will achieve anything now?
guerilla: Well, let the Jews do it. Everyone knows they're good with money. They control the banks... and the liberal media... and the Blacks... and the FreMaslluminatiZionist13.
The point is, no one minds beating Jews to death.
Except the Germans. They use them for soap and alternative fuel sources.
Erect: Well, according to a moral panic hysteria piece I watched on Fox11 for shits and giggle, primary school kids are already tea bagging each other at recess, so does it really matter?
Honestly, for most kids, that sort of reference will fly over their heads.
