Here he gets into the history of the Tea Party. Its a good read.
AlterNet: The Great Republican Crackup: How Angry, White, Southern Men Took Over the GOP and Made Our Government Into a War Zone
...today’s Tea Party is less an ideological movement than the latest incarnation of an angry white minority – predominantly Southern, and mainly rural – that has repeatedly attacked American democracy in order to get its way.
Six in ten Tea Partiers say evolution is wrong; other Republicans are split on the issue. Tea Party Republicans are twice as likely as other Republicans to say abortion should be illegal in all circumstances, and half as likely to support gay marriage.
Tea Partiers are more vehement advocates of states’ rights than other Republicans. Six in ten Tea Partiers want to abolish the Department of Education; only one in five other Republicans do. And Tea Party Republicans worry more about the federal deficit than jobs, while other Republicans say reducing unemployment is more important than reducing the deficit.

Well duh, whose surprised @ that? Bring your newly cleaned white sheets to any Klan opps I mean Tea Party gathering south of the Mason-Dixon line yall!
They tried to re-brand it by calling it the Tea Party, like it was some kind of unique entity. I'm hoping they get the boot in Congress in 2012. More than likely some will remain, some will be booted out, its a matter of trying to get as many out as possible.
