Just as the original article is stereotyping the protesters, you're stereotyping tea party supporters. You can't - as this post illustrates - control what other people say or do. Seeing as how the tea party is more a loose group of people with somewhat similar political views, there are bound to be things that are more like “side issues” that not everyone will support or shun.  There exist plenty of people who smoke marijuana and agree with a lot of the tea party ideals. The two things are far from mutually exclusive.

Uhh, I don't see how half of these are “disturbing.” The “vehicles” you post are likely because they have medical issues, and they are at the protest because marijuana helps their symptoms and pain. And the “mom” at the end? Yeah, big surprise. People born in the 60s smoke weed?! WHO KNEW? This is idiotic.
