What are they seeing at those rallies that's so appauling and haven't seen before at similar rallies by other political groups?

Absolutely nothing! If they want to see a rally about what tea party people are about, they should watch the tax revolt rally that will take place on April 15th. I think it is going to be a doozy.

How about blatant racism and hate speech with terms like "faggot" and the N word being tossed around. Spitting on people with whom one disagrees. Belittling a man with Parkinson's Disease who's unable to afford insurance.

If you have any proof of these allegations, please post them otherwise shut the eff up.
There were hundreds of cameras at the rally to which you are referring and not one has been posted or audio heard to support what you are claiming. So if you have such, please post it and I'll shut up. People like you have no inkling of what is behind the tea party movement and it is anything but racism and hate speech. You are probably of such an age that you were not around when there was "real" racism and hate speech, though of course I can't say that for sure. I can say I was around and can draw a clear distinction between the tea party rallies and those vitriolic ones of the past.
Again, to summarize. The tea party movement as I have been led to believe and told, is about limited government, fiscal responsibility, rights to the states that have been usurped by the federal government and members of Congress, state and local government responsible the the people, not special interests groups. The tea party will support any candidate pledging to follow their ideals regardless of whether they are Democrat, Republican or Independent. If I am wrong in these assumptions, please some tea party patriot, please set me straight. They also believe in a narrow reading of the Constitution, in other words what is actually written, and so do I.

True...Republican/Conservative and the Tea Party Fringe = Sleeping together and, therefore, guilty by association. Can't wait to see the Teabagger's funloving take on upcoming Immigration Reform...we will see some new insults hurled at the Hispanic community via the protest placard.

In regards to your comment about immigration reform, there are immigration rules and laws governing how an immigrant enters this country. All most people ask is that those wishing to come to America come the right way. My ancestors did as yours probably did as well unless you happen to be native American. I am waiting to hear with baited breath just exactly what you think the "new insults to the Hispanic community" will be.

I think it will just be a regurgitation of old insults. I would never give the tea-tards credit for originality. I don't want to get banned, and I don't know any code words or abbreviations for these particular ethnic slurs. You don't need to hear it from us anyway. Just be patient. You'll see.

The three supposed things that happened at every tea party protest.. regurgitated over and over again by the left, yet, there's no proof these things actually happened or in at least one case, it's already been shown that it didn't. The last article I read on the subject of the tea parties was that they represent or are supported by around 25% of the population. The last tea party rally I read about had over 15,000 people at it. But you pluck three suds stories off thinkprogress.com and claim they represent the tea party. Whateva!
But hey, like I said, feel free to try and marginalize these folks, speak out publically as often as you can, call these people ugly names and make sure you let the folks you're speaking to know you support Obama and the democrats. ;-)
