So the original Boston Tea Party was about an unfair tax (or rather, standing up against the idea that taxation without representation is wrong). These tea parties seem to be a clever political stunt against Obama. They aren't specifically demonstrating against any particular part of Obama's plan, they're demonstrating against Obama himself. No one is complaining about a tax Obama is levying against them - these aren't millionaires out demonstrating, after all. What are they protesting against? Universal healthcare? Lower taxes? A balanced budget (eventually - probably not in his first term, but O'Bama is working towards one in a realistic fashion)?
I guess my point is, there's nothing really wrong with this, but it isn't particularly meaningful either.
