Tea Party Crasher Finds that the Tea Party is Generally Friendly

This must have been such a shock to him that a bunch of retirees and families could be so nice. Even to a black man! Shocking!

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.�
