I take it the first panel is implying the Tea Parties aren’t grassroots but Republican party.
Well that’s not true, the Republicans just latched onto it after it got started.
As for the second panel…I attended a Tea Party, everyone was peaceful and smiling. Then whenever there was a sudden expanse of cars and trucks honking everyone cheered. Frankly the Tea Parties were not filled with a bunch of crazies.
The cartoon seems to be fairly dripping in sarcasm…
