First there were the Teabaggers, and while they’re still very easy to identify by their colorful plumage and redundant signs, it takes a score card to ferret out who is with whom, and for what purpose in the re-named and far flung Tea party factions. I do not claim to have them all assigned to memory, but Rachel has done extensive research on the rapidly expanding phenomenon…a phenomenon which Republicans happily gathered under their protective wing, seeing the sheer numbers it was possible to garner. It’s fast becoming a movement which threatens to blow Republicans out of the election booths unless they can distance themselves from the blatantly racist, anti-Semitic Klan brothers who’ve come out under the Tea Party banner.
