I'm not a liberal, but if I was, I can't imagine what I would have against the Tea Party movement - so hopefully a liberal/democrat could help me out with this.

I understand the movement is made up mostly of conservatives, so wouldn't that either be a good, or at worst, neutral thing for you when elections come around?

Sure, the Tea Party isn't an official party with representatives, but when a big (or the big) election comes around, they'll most likely endorse someone (If they don't, that would fall under neutral). If the person/people they back are Republican, you saw it coming, and you'll pretty much have the same outcome there would have been if the TP never existed (again, neutral result). If the person/people they back aren't Republican, it wouldn't be taking many, if any, votes away from your side - nowhere near the number it would be taking away from Republicans (this would fall under good for you).

Or am I missing something?

They shriek about being marginalized, ignored and losing their "freedoms" and in the very same breath they talk about marginalizing, ignoring and taking freedoms from anyone who opposes them.

They're a legion of drooling fucking idiots. Come on already.

You mean like these people, at this protest:

Saturday, March 15, 2007 - The ANSWER Coalition sponsors a March and "Die-In" at the Capitol in D.C. 5,000 protesters and 200 arrests.
Meanwhile, what was the count from the Tea Party March on Washington? The Public Information Officer of the D.C. Fire Department unofficially estimated attendance "in excess of 75,000" people (the number quoted by most if not all news agencies) and there were ZERO arrests.

They were there to get arrested. You should probably study the history of public protest a little more deeply before you comment on things like this. And teabaggers get hassled by cops? HAA, you're kidding right? Tell me, Vida daahhlink, if an armada of black people showed up to a protest on the Mall in D.C. carrying loaded firearms and waving signs about the Tree of Liberty needing to be Watered with the Blood of Tyrants, how long would they last?

Who knows? Since Obama's the President, it will probably last a while.
