In September, the Tea Party Express rolled into Washington, D.C. These ordinary citizens who are fed up with government waste and control have been branded by Pelosi, Obama, Carter, and other leftists as Nazis, terrorists, hicks, and racists among other things.
An article in the newspaper quoted Trent Bowman, a hairdresser who has a shop near one of the Dallas stops. He said the rally reflected a "hostile spirit." "Everybody's being ugly about it."
I saw at least two photographs taken at the Dallas stops. I've posted links to them here. In one of them, the camera captured maybe 50 people. The vast majority of them had smiles on their faces and looked like they were enjoying themselves. Seven faces are clearly visible in the other photograph. Every one of them is smiling. I just don't see "hostile" and "ugly" here. And you know what they say -- a picture is worth a thousand words. It's a lot more honest, too.
