One narrative that you that the Left, Liberals, and the Democrats as well as their supporting media wants to sell is that these protesters are the same as the tea party members. The problem is, at least for those making that assertion, is that these protesters are paid to do what they are doing whereas the tea party members weren't and were their on their own accord. The Tea Party members were also very respectful whereas most of these people are there with an agenda to be disruptive.
These are not Tea Party type protesters, not in any way, other than the forums they are choosing to use for their protest.
