re: #13 Ojoe
Except that the Tea Party is astroturfed and supported by major players in American politics. It’s not that much of a fringe movement, at least in terms of their influence in the GOP.
Sure, you have nutjobs like Paladino and O’Donnell running, but the overall Tea Party movement is backed by some pretty powerful folks on the right. Having that same movement start making connections with the EDL and other far right European movements? Bad, bad idea.
