They definitely brought the crazy.
You can find lots of sites with collections of the hateful and insane signs that the protesters brought with them.
Here is one good post:
The worst kept secret about this whole march is that it had nothing to do with policy and everything to do with the president. These teabaggers bitch about taxes, but the federal government has not raised their taxes or even proposed doing so since the last administration. They whine about freedom but were either silent on the Patriot Act or defended it on the grounds that they had “nothing to hide.” They are 100% partisan, and don’t give two shits about spending or the federal deficit. They were nowhere to be found in the Bush years when Dick Cheney boldly declared, “Deficits don’t matter,” and showed us just how much he believed in that maxim.So what is going on? is it the barely disguised racism of Glenn Beck? Or is this sort of like a bunch of factory workers protesting for the right to be exploited?
Are we seeing the "useful idiots" of the health insurance industry on the march?
