Brooks Alexander, a 23-year-old Olney, Md., hotel worker and Obama supporter who wore an Obama t-shirt to the evening rally, said infiltrators were being disrespectful.
�They�re doing a disservice not only to themselves, but to the people who are here trying to express their views,� said Alexander, who is African American and said he traveled to the rally to verify for himself liberal accounts blasting the tea party as racist.
�All my friends told me I was crazy to come down here in an Obama shirt,� he said. �Obviously I have political disagreements [with the tea party], but I cannot lie. I cannot say that people have been anything but nice to me. They have been shaking my hand. One guy told me I had a lot of [guts] for coming down here. I will definitely walk away from this with a new understanding of the tea party.�
