The best way to counter the anger and fear mongering of the tea party movement seems to be with humor and creativity, not with more anger and fear.
One example of this approach is Billionaires for Wealthcare, a small group that has managed to capture national media attention with satirical portrayals of thankful health insurance executives at tea party rallies and fundraisers.
Then there’s the young man in this video, Robert Erickson, who convinced teabaggers in Minneapolis to denounce European immigrants and chant "Columbus go home!"
Have you heard about any other clever folks out there doing inventive counter protests? What’s on your mind tonight?

Good thought.
A friend took the invitation in Pensacola from the teabaggers to speak as Man In The Crowd in FL, here;

I applaud your friend. Hopefully he made at least one person at that rally stop and think for a change.
Brave guy. Those anti-immigrant folks are way scarier than your garden-variety teabagger.
