The Tea Party movement which actually grew out of Ron Paul's support base was worthy of discussion.
When it was co-opted by the social/religious extremists with their "Obama is a Socialist/Fascist/Muslim extremist/Anti-American" nonsense and hate filled rhetoric and signs....they became Tea Baggers to me and worthy of ridicule, not serious discussion.
The irony is that Ron Paul is now facing tea bagger primary opposition.
