Hmm.. I don't think he pulled it off very well. They could have have told him not to use the British accent. That seems to be counterproductive. And I wasn't really convinced by his performance, I was aware that I was watching a protester.

Seriously though, whatever legitimate point they might have, it goes right out of the window when they start wearing costumes. With me at least. I just find that kind of protest to be ridiculous. And so I ridicule them.

I agree with you about the costumes, but you seem to be forgetting that the Americans of that time WERE and considered themselves British. So I can understand his point, even if I don't agree with the concept.

Yeah, a lot of them did. I was just messing around though. I understand his concept, but refuse to listen to anything he might be saying. Seriously, we got these guys all the time back in Richmond, They are all nut jobs. That is why they have costumes.

If they are going to wear costumes and call themselves the Tea Party, perhaps they should do some research and realize the colonial patriots wore costumes as well, costumes that made them appear to be Native Americans.
