whatever They say we are, we aren't.
compare the tea party movement to others which are not locked into the tiny spectrum of american politics. things get ugly. the teapartiers are somewhere to the right of organizations like the front national.
the strictest parallel is poujadisme.

but with television coverage.
like i say, dk, it doesn't matter if you don't like the name that it's reasonable to attach to the tea party movement as a whole.
and it isn't to say that every person who finds that movement compelling is necessarily a neo-fascist. alot, seemingly like yourself, probably don't know what the word means.
but that changes very little about the nature of the movement. and nothing about what it amounts to.
