The biggest message, across the country, was without question Obama's stimulus plan, and blaming Bush's bailout on Obama.
No, I don't consider the tea party protesters to be equal Americans in ideals to those in Wisconsin. Nor your protest in FL - it's not anywhere on the same scale of things. Most of the tea party protests were laughed at by most Americans... what's going on in Wisconsin isn't a laughing mater.

The point of the article had nothing to do with the merits of either set of views, it had to do with the fact that the media excoriated anyone on the right that compared leaders to Hitler, or drew targets, or even yelled "Kill the Bill". When the public sector union members do the EXACT SAME THINGS, it is not mentioned at all... If you can't see the point here, then I don't think you ever will.
