but if you ask some questions, proble a little deeper, it's there deep down in some, a lot closer to the surface in others.....it's no coincidence this movement flared up as soon as it became apparent that Obama could win the presidency.

these people are enamored with a view of the 'good ol' days' and freaked out that it's being taken away from them....even if it was never as they remembered it anyway.
back in the good ol days when certain people knew their place and taxes were low.....don´t mention to them that their 'saint' Reagan actually raised taxes.

I wonder how is it gonna fly that their new darling Christine o'Donnell (A.K.A. - Palin 2.0) used to be a practicing witch....that should be fun.
I'm a US conservative and find myself in sympathy with much of the TEA party agenda. I think you are seriously overstating the racism component. Most of us are happy that a person of African parentage got into the White House -- but we'd have rather had it be J.C. Watts instead. Obama's breaking of that color barrier was one of the things I like most about his Presidency.
