So why is the TEA party being called out as extreme, racists, and whackos?

I'll bite, why? And a better question is by whom?

The democrat party has been just as polarized and hijacked. The liberal party name has much different meaning, such as marxist/communist, just calling it how I see it I would say the dems are in fact more violent, extreme, racist then any person claiming to be part of the tea party. Just look at the difference from the 2 recent rallys, yes this is from a libertarian site but look at the responses given to the questions.

I have more to say but let's just start with this

Listen, the TEA Party is NOT affiliated with ANY political party that I'm aware of. They are, by and large, pissed off about the antics of both the Jackasses and the GOP. I believe the rallying cry for this past election was "Throw them ALL out." Neither party has anything to be proud of over the past 8 to 10 years in my opinion. Let’s hope that we can get rid of some more congressional morons in 2012 starting with the bozo in the White House.

Oh, yeah. Preach on, Bob!

K2, I have to say I am disappointed in both your name calling and your accusations. First, ANY person with the ability to tie their own shoes KNOWS that the term Teabagger is ALWAYS used to insult or to refer to a sexual act. Second, you claim to be a republican, but then you say those in the Tea Party MOVEMENT are extremist. I ask, what positions are extreme that the Tea Party MOVEMENT stands for? Is it lower taxes, maybe its reduced spending, wait I bet its giving more liberty to the individual.
