What is your point?

Both are ashamed/angry at the direction their country is taking. That is pretty much it.

Do you suggest that one is automatically better than the other?

Edit: And one side brainwashed their children into believing what they do. But then again, even if not depicted, so do the other side. So it's kif-kif.

Because I have read that very term a thousand time on this forum regarding Obama partisanship and their children during September/October 08. So I only saw fit of using this board's terminology.

I don't think you realise one might have a different perspective on things than you to be saying that.

Hard to mmistake the naked hatred and racism (even by blacks) on the left, while noting the fun the right was having.  It is not a perspective when you are using filth and obscenities to make your point (as you well know, it is not a requirement for debate, protest or disagreement).

I will give them this.  They at least kept it peaceful.  A rarity on the left, but perhaps there is hope for them now.

Could you post some hateful signs from a real Tea Party rally that is as hateful as ones on the left?

That's the problem Loca, the "other side" doesn't want to improve the country, they want to destroy what we know of it.  These are people who think anyone making a profit, or money for that matter is bad.  I could go on and on, but the point is the left, which has been tossing stones at the Tea Party, are a bitter and hateful bunch overall.

The following images were from "peace" rallies in New York 2003. 2004, and 2008 (how soon we forget):

I guess one can only be a racist if they are white? Change Bush to Obama, black to white and let a white person hold the sign and I suppose you have your average Tea Party member?

No...no hate here from the left... nothing to see folks just move along.

Funny, it didn't seem like many Iraqis shared the same opinion.

I guess a president can only be a terrorist in foreign affairs. Some people call domestic terrorism, destroying the country from within, "hope" and "change". Bill Ayers must be blushing.

Yep I sure do. The left wing majority of the US government despised the Patriot Act so much, that they decided to keep it in force, relatively unchanged. Wonder if this guy is still protesting? Probably not.

Wonder if this guy got all he "hoped" for in the last election? Nice tie with the $50 bills on it, maybe he can spend that on his mandatory health care premium. Hard to see, but the woman next to him is wearing a Kerry button. She definitely would have been fooled again had he won.

I didn't put up some of the more distasteful photos, but enough to give the picture. BTW These photos were taken by an anti-bush/anti-war supporter, not some right-winger trying to prove a point.

Uh, Loca, I think you just proved ID's point.  The Tea party signs (some are tasteless) are not threatening violence.  Just avowing to watch out at the election box.

Besides, if you look at the ONE protest on the left, the Nazi signs are rampant, not an exception.

(I liked the "ram it down our throats one").

Sure!  Ever hear of the assualt on the 2nd amendment?  I think the sign was a statement on the right to carry guns.  Everyone (or even most) that carry a gun never point, click and or fire at another person.  They are merely exercising their 2nd amendment right (which is one of the corner stones of the Tea Party).

Do not fall for that trap.  There are Tea Party Events, but "tea bag" events occur in San Francisco and Greenwich village.  And they are not protesting when they do it.

That's fine, that's why I like the comprehensive photo galleries covering a specific event. Lots of overlapping photos of demonstrators make them hard to fake or even the origin. Activists know that most will be going to google images, so a one off doctored photo is easy to disseminate.

How many conservatives attend these events? I must be missing out on the conservative peace movement, possibly because I believe (and think most conservatives believe) in peace through strength. You're welcome to prove me wrong. I do believe some Independents might attend, but even Independents lean right and left on most issues.

It might not be the name of an actual type of rally (I'd give you that) but if everyone at a rally leans left, that makes them a leftist in my opinion. If there was a Satanic ritual, would it be wrong to assume the people in attendance are devil worshipers? Yet I have heard people say things like hey did you hear that big Devil Worshiping meeting the other night. I have heard Tea Parties described as "conservative gatherings" whether or not that is completely true (I hear Dems and Independents show up as well) that term is fine by me. If one considers leftist to be a disparaging term, then I can see the concern.
