Perhaps it would have meant something if the people protesting their 'tea bag' party actually understood what the Boston Tea party was all about?

One could run a "Holocaust" rally against immigrants and be about as accurate to theme.

I'm getting a bit frightened about this. News channels deliberately ignoring a real and legitimate news story. If something isn't done to stop this (can you say BOYCOTT?) I fear the U.S. A. is doomed.

Maybe they were too embarassed at the prospect of having to explain what "teabagging" as a verb means.
