Teabaggers receive a "friendly" welcome in N.Y.C.

Those who visit the Big Apple say that they have never been to a more culturally diverse and liberal city. New York is probably the only city in America where you can walk down a busy street, for two blocks and see people from ten different countries. Plus, you'll hear at least five or six different languages. New York's population of U.S. Citizens are just as racially and culturally diverse as the immigrants, diplomats and vacationers. New York is also the home of the largest chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union. (ACLU) Who are very outspoken opponents of the Conservative/Republican agenda.
New York seems like another planet compared to the so-called Real America, or the small towns most Tea Party members are from. However, that did not stop a small group of Teabaggers from protesting on Wall Street, in early April. Traders, bankers, brokers, and passers-by were treated to what looked like a Revolutionary War reenactment, sponsored by Lipton. Middle-aged men wearing founding father-style costumes, dressed them up even more by pinning tea bags to their hats, and breast pockets. New York City gun laws prevented them from displaying or carrying even unloaded firearms, or even toy guns just gave them something else to blame the President for. However, the strict NYC gun laws have been on the books way before most of NYC even knew who Obama was. However, gun control was not the reason the Teabaggers were protesting. No one knows for certain, what they were protesting. (Does anyone ever know?)
Instead of rallying support for this vague cause, they were met with a bunch of camera-happy tourists, and giggling employees from the financial sector. A woman vacationing from Holland asked: "Oh my god, is this some sort of parade?!" A trader replied: "It might as well be." Tourists kept stopping and taking pictures. Some were even bold enough to ask to have their picture taken with them. Most of them spoke broken English, which made "Paul Revere", and "John Hancock" even more hot under their colonial collars. Overall, no one there took them seriously. Every time they picked up and moved from the front steps of one investment firm to another, the crowd cheered, clapped, and laughed. I hope they don't get the wrong impression. The Tea Party will probably not be as well received if they return to protest immigration reform!

They aren't any worse than the anti-war retards who dressed up like circus clowns.

These retards should be allowed to play too.

Interesting that the OP chose to refer to these folks as teabaggers...

Any special reason or event occur that might have led you to determine that they choose to engage in that sort of private sexual activity?

Why would one choose not to recognize that they call themselves Tea Partiers, with the "Tea" originally referring to the term "Taxed Enough Already"?

Perhaps some very loose connectivity to the feeling that they're getting screwed by taxation, but aside from that...I'm not a member in any sense of the word but hey, let them do their thing. They'll succeed or fail all on their own.
