...of the American Revolution.

you are right -----these people ---particularly their financiers need to be put up on center stage------maybe Mother Jones could get some video on these RW's

Same old radical right wing racists and bigots.

Teabagger Republicans are exactly that: Republicans. Ask any of these people who they voted for during the last six election cycles and you will get Republicans, Republicans,Republicans every time. Same for so-called Libertarians. Better to attach the word Republican to Teabagger, IMO.

And they have driven a lot (though not all) of so-called "moderate" Republicans into the arms of the Democratic Party.

That is why they vote and identify with the GOP. If they were truly anti GOP they would support a party outside of the GOP to represent their views. A portion of the Republican Party represents their views so these Tea Party people vote for those Republican politicians.

are these people like the self-identified liberals that embrace right-wing policy if it comes from a democrat? moreover, you can collect as many diplomas and degrees as you like, but if you still unquestioningly accept Fox as a legitimate news source, then you're still a moronic “low information” yokel. they may be fooling the centrists and moderates on the left, but progressives have had these idiots pegged from jump.

It's that they're BAD information voters.

There's a difference, and the latter is worse, IMHO. It's the difference between ignorance and delusion.

What did they ever get upset at the Bush (mis-)Administration about? For all of their complaints about Wall Street bailouts, TARP, etc., they have been mighty resistant to any sort of meaningful reforms and/or increasing regulations on Wall Street following the 2008 meltdown. Many of them blame left-wing groups and government-run entities for the meltdown. Most of them- or at least a lot of them- were its most ardent defenders about just about everything- torture, Iraq, illegal (at the time) wiretapping, tax cuts, deregulation. You name it. None of them AFAIK were upset about the massive tax cuts for the wealthy or the massive deregulation or the vast sums of money or lives spent in Iraq over phantom WMDs not to mention the money and equipment that was stolen and/or went missing (or both). The only people raising objections to the Bush (mis-)Administration were progressives and Democrats though we were mostly shut out in the cold from any serious discussions of what it was up to. The Tea Party movement is/was IMHO a right-wing reaction against President Obama's election disguised as a populist movement supported and funded by rich right-wingers to cripple and obstruct his (and the Democrats') agenda and boost the Republican Party after it was left flagging after the 2008 election and the failures of the Bush (mis-)Administration.
