Russ (I got mine, F*** you) Hall, 68, of Lawrence County, and other tea party supporters take part in the tax day rally in Market Square on Friday
The sticker on the top sign reads "Obama bin Lyin' IMPEACH NOW" but teabaggers are NOT racist.:eyes:

The crowd included a couple dozen counter-demonstrators from the union-affiliated group Pittsburgh United, who were dressed in formal wear and quietly protested about tax cuts the tea party supported for corporations and top income brackets. "Tea Party: Thanks for believing ... anything," one of their signs said.
A brief and unrelated altercation occurred when a tea party activist tried to remove a worker for the United Steelworkers of America from behind the rally's stage.
Wearing a USW sweatshirt, the worker briefly argued with some in the crowd before leaving, holding her middle fingers in the air.
"It's a free country and I can stand here just like everybody else can stand here," said Lori Bookwood, of the USW political office, after leaving the rally. "The first thing that usually happens at a tea party event are the old men saying nasty
to me because of their whole abortion thing, whether I agree with it or not ... Then when they find out I'm union it's a whole other story, and then when they find out I'm a single mom, I'm going to hell."
