The MSM are no doubt scouring the Tea Parties for any and all signs of wacko influence.
They don’t seem to be having much luck so far.
Al Reuters’ Tea Party slideshow on Yahoo is actually pretty benign, with no obvious troofers or Paulians visible in 43 images. It tends to emphasize the tax day connection very specifically though, with no mention of the more general opposition to federal intrusion and excessive federal power.
