You're right, of course, but I think your reading a lot into what these guys represent that they don't represent. They'd be totting guns to town hall meetings at this moment no matter how good Obama was doing.

I agree with that. I think it's curious that Tea Party's and guns at protests seem to be a lot more effective memes than anything the left mounted during the Bush administration. Why is that?

I just think that it's not *completely* assinine to bring them to protests. I mean, if we're crazy enough to have automatic weapons in this country to the degree that we do, we might as well use them to some benefit, rather than to "hunt".
