This whole thing is clearly a stunt arranged by the Fox "fair and balanced"(!) Network.

If nothing, "the tea bagging of America" is just about the funniest thing I've heard in years.

I guess it's just wrong to protest in America if it involves negatives about the socialist Obama and his 'wealth sharing' attitudes.

But I defy any of his champions to name one former socialist state that didn't turn into a fascist dictatorial regime before it's eventual demise.

Socialism always morphs into fascism and the socialists always don't get it, and that is what we are witnessing now in the USA. They think it's some kind of strange coincidence, nothing to do with the original socialist project of displacing individual freedom with state power. They blame capitalism, they blame everything but their own supserstitious anti-social state-worshipping policies.

Yes it is pathetic that the conservative protestors didn't protest against exactly the same taxing policies of the Republicans, nor the same abuses and blatant breach of the Constitution that the author mentions earlier in the article.

However that fact does not provide any justification of excessive taxation, unconstitutional actions of government (which now comprise about 90 percent of all governmental action in the US), or taxation in general.

The US government has long since abandoned compliance with the Constitution, even if it provided authority for the US government to forcibly impose government on the people or states, which it doesn't: http://www.lysanderspooner.org/notreason.htm

I don't suppose there'll be any prizes for guessing which side of the political fence Walt Brasch falls on.
There have already been many who decry those participating in Tea Day as racists, bigots, ignorant, stupid etc etc etc. It is always easy to dismiss those who disagree with you in such a way.
Surely it comes as no surprise that many Americans are concerned about what they perceive as a 'tax and spend' mentality in their new government and are worried about the long-term economic future and how that might be impacted by big spending, big-debt government.
Some of these people may even remember the Great Depression but those who don't may have heard that FDR's New Deal not only attacked much of what they believe in but may also have prolonged the effects of the Depression.
Should they have protested some of GWB's actions? Maybe, but you seem to assume the exercise of their democratic rights now is motivated by ignorance (or possibly prejudice) when the simpler explanation is perhaps disagreement with policy coupled with concern for the future.
Your comment, "policies that are bringing the nation out of a financial abyss" will no doubt be determined in time, but one will have to wait and see on that one. Clearly the tea-baggers don't think those policies will be so vindicated.

So sad to see the deluded masses rioting against their own interests.
Sad how the right wing fascists appeal to the ignorant and the gullible.
With racism and religion as their tools they brainwash and trick these sad people into believing black is white and day is night.
That guns make you safe and driving a hummer is a right.

Revolting is not the word. Sickening is more like it. Sure makes me want to throw up.

What I want to know is where the Dirty Sanchez people stand on the Teabagging issue.
