Where were the anti-tax tea parties when George Bush was wasting Billions in Iraq, on the Prescription Drug Bill, and providing handouts to Oil Companies?

If the media is so "liberal", then why was there universal coverage of these so called "tea parties" despite being attended by so few, while the anti-Iraq protests, that had a hundred times more attendees, went completely uncovered?

Nationwide "Tea Parties" created and backed by Republican think tanks. Claims of a grassroots movement mostly disingenuous.

Conservatives are up in arms about a Homeland security report targeting "right-wing extremists"...hmmm...exactly which laws empowered DHS to exercise such federal policing powers, I wonder?

Every April 15th right-wing activists who enjoy clean drinking water, snow removal, roads, police & fire protection, the National Guard, college, schools for their children, state parks, and countless other amenities, bemoan the fact they actually have to pay for them.
