Before the teabaggers hurl their standard ad hominem attacks, would any of them be willing to discuss the substance of the video

Why should anyone watch your little video when you won't even address the people whom you want to watch it with civility?

Really now.

As a Libertarian, I find this video silly. But almost entertaining.

It's easy to make fun of any group with a cartoon using exaggerated stereotypes.

What stereotypes were exaggerated?

well, cartoon-ish representations are meant to be exaggerated to achieve humorous effect. However, on this forum I've read a few posters who say they're Tea Party sympathizers using virtually the same arguments regarding gay marriage, muslims, etc. Am I getting the wrong picture?

That's not a Libertarian, that was a liberal. I've never heard of a Libertarian supporting Obamacare.

The video was on point about Republican / Tea Party hypocrisy on social freedoms, though.

The 'Taxed Enough Already' group [without career politicians trying to jump in front of it, and claim it as their own movement] is against every effort to raise taxes. As such they have no stance regarding Muslim activities. Their focus is taxes and reduced spending.

'Libertarians' want our constitutional liberties without the 200 years of constructed regulation that has occurred.

That was very poorly done. Not only was the libertarian badly portrayed and only showed a small portion of their ideology, and were entirely too permissive of Bush III Obama, but the tea partyer came across more like a liberal. More thread fail. But you can look around on Youtube and find some very good videos with that dog and bear where they actually do express political opinion and debate.
