If you call it a riot, it sounds like it was just a bunch of crazy people who went out and did bad things for no reason. I maintain it was somewhat understandable, if not acceptable. So I call it a rebellion.

The Tea Party emerges as not only outrageous, but they have turned up the volume in ways that even Code Pink have not been able to do.
