Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement.

Check out how tiny the crowds were:

Philly: 200
DC: "several hundred"
Boston: 500
Austin: 1,000
Houston: 2,000

I don't love everything Kara Walker produces. But if you want to hear about an arrist I respect? It's her.

The statue of Robert E. Lee was melted down.

The statue of Stonewall Jackson was given to artist Kara Walker.

This is what she did with it:
