I should say that the actual march was not a smaller version of B.O. in a bottle. It was a lanyard, American flag, stickers, buttons, and confetti -- still a kind of unsettling gimmick.
I checked this group's website. I couldn't find any political content for or against Obama. These people appear to be street vendors/hawkers, looking to make a quick buck from selling Democratic Convention-related trinkets and knick-knacks. They may come up with another weird trinket for the McCain convention in Minneapolis next week--although then they would have to register a new domain name.

I think one of the words you might be looking for here is "profitable."
