Most of those pictures seem to be OWS related. Some of them are clearly Tea Party, though.
And to answer your question, because the Tea Party seemed to be all about being American and Fawkes was not only British but also Catholic. I guess pop culture helps.

I always picture the Tea Party folks more akin to the Michelin Man, from a physique standpoint.
Why does it seem silly to you that the largest and most effective anti-government movement of the modern era would have some sympathizers who adopt the symbol?
