It can’t be that old.
The Tea Party didn’t really kick off until a year or so after that, following Rick Santelli’s speech at the Chi Board of Trade, and ‘teabagger’ was not the sniggering term the left made of it all through ‘09 and 2010.
The BIG GOV poster Bill Hennessey is one of the founders of the St. Louis Tea Party group, so this from Mo.’s capital , is something directly in his possession.
I was involved in the rally and can confirm everything that happened is authentic and on Feb 26th, 2011.
