"With the smug incomprehension in which it takes so much pride (can’t understand – won’t understand!), the BBC sets about the American Tea Party Movement as if it were a cross between the Klu Klux Klan and the German neo-fascist brigade. Not once in all the demonic depictions I have seen and heard (last week’s Newsnight package was particularly outrageous) have I heard a mention of what the TPM is actually about: taxation.

I read that article. The Brits don't get it. I guess the culture is just too different. Anyway, there are trolls in the comments at that website pretending to be Tea Party people. They are explicitly racist and over the top comical. One of them calling himself "proud aryan" went so far as to post a confederate flag on his comment. He couldn't stop talking about how he was a big tea partier, and how all the rest were just as hateful and racist as he was. I flagged his comment, but I doubt they do anything about it.
