I thnk what you will be seeing in the coming months is a battle for the hearts and minds within the Tea Party. One one side you have the militia nutcase lunatic fringe members, on the other you will have the run of the mill GOP conservatives. Who will win?

It looks like they are being used by NO ONE.

Do you mean those liberal anti-war protesters that destroy property and the police always have to curb their out of control violent behaviors?



They are not even in the same class as the decent people protesting peacefully.

So even though there have been protests and threads about what uneducated idiots belong to the Tea Party (of course another falicy) is this an admission that they indeed are NOT inconsequential?

I am not a part but the tea party people came to the top for a reason. People are concerned about government spending. Its has grown faster than any thing I saw in the 60's even.From what i have seen they are very peaceful too which is good.

That's the pot calling the kettle black, you describing the current crop of "conservatives." The right is using Saul Alinsky's rules for radicals as their playbook.

It is not a fallacy.

Yes, the tea baggers are not in the same class as decent people who protest. I agree. Some are of course. Some aren't. Same with liberals. When I go to protest for any cause, I don't do violent things.
