Nancy Pelosi and other leading Democrats have been quick to condemn Tea Party Protestors as violent racists[1. Breitbart "Have You Heard Ken Gladney's Story?" Real Clear Politics http://bit.ly/8JpZ6], and have dismissed the legitimacy of the movement[2. http://thinkprogress.org/2009/04/15/pelosi-astroturf/] even though the facts do not support such claims. In fact, what little violence has occurred has been at the hands of liberal "counter-protestors." Instances of violence against Tea Party participants includes the Kenneth Gladney Beating perpetrated by two SEIU employees[3. Breitbart "Have You Heard Ken Gladney's Story?" Real Clear Politics http://bit.ly/8JpZ6] and an incident in which a moveon.org counter-protestor bit off the finger of a Tea Party participant[4. "Man's Finger Bitten off in Scuffle at Health Care Protest" KTLA News. http://bit.ly/FVuQl]. The Tea Party protestors themselves have left the cities cleaner, obtained all necessary permits, and been willing to work with the police who have yet to need riot gear at one of these "violent" events.
