I walked past a tea baggers rally downtown yesterday at lunch. As a result of having just read this thread, I looked over the crowd pretty closely. I didn't see a single face of any color other than white in that entire crowd of maybe 5 thousand. I had a good vantage point on a hill above the crowd. Not sure what that means, but normally you'll see a mixture of faces in any crowd. Not so here.

That's interesting, Glatt. There was a t-bag rally in the city park here yesterday, too. If there is one thing you can say about the 4-Corners, its that it is the land of diversity. Sometimes when I go to the laundramat, I'm the only white person in there. Everyone else is Navajo or Hispanic.

But if you looked at the composition of the local t-bag group, it was all white. I know because I was on foot and walked through the middle of the rally. It was bizarre, actually.
