Do not fall for that trap. There are Tea Party Events, but "tea bag" events occur in San Francisco and Greenwich village. And they are not protesting when they do it.

Ooops, I did completely fall for that "Tea Bag" being the correct title.  That was unintentional.

Loca, your first two photos look suspect to me (ie photoshoped).

Maybe - I found them on google image search.

That's fine, that's why I like the comprehensive photo galleries covering a specific event. Lots of overlapping photos of demonstrators make them hard to fake or even the origin. Activists know that most will be going to google images, so a one off doctored photo is easy to disseminate.

There are peace rallies, capital punishment protests, global warming protests etc. but there is not "leftist rally" movement.

How many conservatives attend these events? I must be missing out on the conservative peace movement, possibly because I believe (and think most conservatives believe) in peace through strength. You're welcome to prove me wrong. I do believe some Independents might attend, but even Independents lean right and left on most issues.

  No I'm saying that you can't do a google image search of a "leftist rally".   I'ver never heard of an event called a "leftist rally" but there are rallies and protests of traditional liberal issues ie...peace rallies etc.

It might not be the name of an actual type of rally (I'd give you that) but if everyone at a rally leans left, that makes them a leftist in my opinion. If there was a Satanic ritual, would it be wrong to assume the people in attendance are devil worshipers? Yet I have heard people say things like hey did you hear that big Devil Worshiping meeting the other night. I have heard Tea Parties described as "conservative gatherings" whether or not that is completely true (I hear Dems and Independents show up as well) that term is fine by me. If one considers leftist to be a disparaging term, then I can see the concern.

Yes.  The title is not "leftist rally", it is merely a descriptor of the attendees.
