Reply #11: Did you actually interact with any of these people?

Your at a tea party rally, how do you benefit by just standing there and looking angry? Maybe try to engage some of the less extreme people there and you might end up having a surprisingly reasonable conversation. I went down to a tea party rally down the street from my house and ended staying there for like 2 and a half hours talking to this genuine libertarian dude who was actually pretty intelligent. My point is if your going to go to one of these things maybe try to engage these people a little, there's no point just going there and standing around.

Call me crazy, but as much as some of you may not want it to be true, there are individuals at these rallies who are genuinely fed up with the bullshit from both sides and are reasonable. I may not agree with them, but its perfectly possible to have a decent debate if you find the right group of people.
