re: 'I've seen video footage of the protesters and find it hard to believe that this bunch of stringy haired maggots to be "T Party folks".'
I agree. I've read that some of the attendees are calling for Obummer's reelection. Over on FFFT, they're encouraging clo and KTC to go to rallies in their areas.
As for the stringy hair (and maggots), I really don't know them that well. Tea parties I've been to have generally been attended by average looking, clean-cut folk. The only problem is, leftist groups show up too, trying to piggy-back on the publicity the Tea Party gets for its rallies. It is sometimes hard to tell who's who until the leftists open their mouths and start spewing vileness.
