You're incorrect. There is only one way to interpret "no taxation without representation", pan, and that's the right way. When it was used multiple times by multiple individuals at the local Tea Party, it was said from ignorance. My bias or opinion doesn't enter into the equation.
Shame on you for defending ignorance.

It's libertarians, GOPers, and protestors. Your snarky bullshit just weakens your position.

And while yes, some got the news of the party through the "Right", the majority, I saw, got it through the web, friends, co workers and so on.
It's all up to bias and what you want to believe... I was there, and the 2 I went to (Canton at noon Mansfield at 4)... I was pleasantly surprised by what I found.

The bias argument doesn't hold water. Worse still, you're unable to admit that there were crazies and idiots there. I have photographic evidence. I have a picture of a sign that says, I shit you not, "where's the birth certificate?" alluding to the insane conspiracy theory about President Obama's country of birth. Another says "No ACORN". Many more spoke about "Socialism" as if the people understood what it meant. "CHANGE to rig the government to own everything!" was one of my favorites.
