I've seen all news networks show blacks and people of color talking at the tea party protests, and all news networks report on the percentage of other races at them, just to show it's not all whites.

If the tea party was truly against the gov/spending, growth, etc... and not a (right/conservative) movement... they would stop attacking the left/liberals and get them to join in. But that isn't the message the rest of America gets.
