Is my impression right that the GOP-backed "tea parties" that occurred yesterday (protesting taxes, Obama, and government in general) got much more press coverage than similarly-sized anti-war rallies and other rallies on the left?

Don't these idiots know that the "Boston Tea Party" from which they claim inspiration was a *pro*tax protest--against abolition of the tea tax from which those patriot smugglers gained their illegal riches?
