The tea party is an organization with open membership like just about any other political group. So you get a few crazies from time to time.
Your claim that the tea party is racist, bigoted, or whatever makes no more sense than my claiming that the pro gay rights people are violent based on the couple links I posted earlier about some lunatics in the anti-proposition 8 group making death threats.
Denounce the lunatics for what they are but don't label the entire group because of a few wackos.
