In fairness, doesn't this pretty much apply equally to both sides? I don't seem to recall a lot of leftists defending the tea partiers right to protest.
yeah probably. I remember a lot of the people on the left seizing with glee on the n word stuff, gave them an excuse to dismiss the tea party altogether. luckily for them their limelight happened second and so they don't get the chance to look like dumb hypocrites. I'm actually curious how the left politicians and media would be reacting if the events had happened in reverse order. I'd hope they'd have more self-awareness than the right is displaying but that might be unrealistic.
