Tea Party Head Fired After Facebook Joke About Killing Gays

It is a bit of a wierd thing.

Tea Party people will tell you they are the "New" GOP, they are "taking back" the republican party so it is for "the people" once more.
In truth, many tea Party functions are funded by groups that have ties to Big Business and GOP establishments. A large portion of tea Party people are basically the latest sheep to be fleeced by Conservatives out to gain power by stirring up shitstorms.

Yeah, they're an assortment of extreme conservatives, and they have popped up throughout history every decade or two (depending on the political climate) in a different guise. The latest label is as much corporate branding as it is grass roots.
