First, here's a bit of Tea Party history...
"A PEOPLE’S HISTORY OF KOCH INDUSTRIES: HOW STALIN FUNDED THE TEA PARTY MOVEMENT."
"'I would rather live under a bridge than live under socialism.' Tea Bagger slogan
"Everyone knows that Tea Party revolutionaries fear and hate socialism about as much as the Antichrist. Which is funny, because the Tea Party movement’s dirty little secret is that it owes its existence to the grandaddy of all Antichrists: the godless empire of the USSR.
"What few realize is that the secretive oil billionaires of the Koch family, the main supporters of the right-wing groups that orchestrated the Tea Party movement, would not have the means to bankroll their favorite causes had it not been for the pile of money the family made working for the Bolsheviks in the late 1920s and early 1930s, building refineries, training Communist engineers and laying down the foundation of Soviet oil infrastructure..."

...then let's see what their politics are all about - and yes, it's all about racism:
"Texas Protesters To American Muslim Group: 'Go Home And Take Obama With You.'"
"Over the weekend, a protest formed at a conference in Texas held by a Muslim group titled 'Stand With the Prophet Against Terror and Hate.' The conference, organized by the group Sound Vision from Chicago, was held in order to raise funds for a Muslim center that would teach members of the faith how to deal with negative descriptions of their religion. A demonstration formed around the Curtis Curwell Center in Garland, where protesters expressed their anger and disgust with Muslims in general.
"Per Dallas-area news station NBC-5, thousands of protesters and counter-protesters gathered outside the conference center on Saturday, even though the event itself was only scheduled to have 500 attendees. In a display of ignorant xenophobia, protesters brought signs that read, 'Go home and take Obama with you.' A number of demonstrators were interviewed by the station for a story that ran on Saturday evening. As one might expect, the blatant Islamophobia and bigotry poured freely..."
Tea Baggers don't like to be called out as racists, of course...
...because that might be slanderous!
But let's take a peek at the typical Tea Bagger...
"Tea Party 'Christian' Heroine Cheated On Veteran Husband At Family Values Conference (SCREENSHOTS)."
"In July, liberals were delighted by the moronic antics of a woman who quickly became known as 'Holly Hobby Lobby.' Shortly following the Hobby Lobby Supreme Court ruling that allowed companies to inject their religion into female employees’ healthcare, Holly Fisher decided to poorly “troll” liberals a bit.
"Our heroine bravely stood in front of a Hobby Lobby store wearing a “PRO-LIFE” t-shirt and holding a Chick-Fil-A cup. She captioned her photo “HOW TO MAKE A LIBERAL’S HEAD EXPLODE,” and set it loose on Twitter.
"But, with every ascension to fame, comes the inevitable fall — and, oddly, the story of this 'good Christian' and her plummet from glory was broken by conservative hatemonger Charles C. Johnson, the same man who sued St. Louis County Court for Michael Brown’s juvenile records in a desperate attempt to demonize the young man.
"'The conservative woman behind several viral photos cheated on her combat veteran husband repeatedly & then lied about it, Gotnews.com has learned,' Johnson wrote.
"According to Johnson, multiple sources within the Tea Party confirmed that Fisher had a prolonged affair with Joel Frewa, a now-former video editor for the Tea Party News Network. Johnson says Frewa resigned after word of the affair began to leak out.
"'The affair took place at a "Restoring the Dream" event, a Faith & Freedom conference, and on Election night 2014,' Johnson said..."

Hey, that's not fair just showing the hypocrisy of one Tea Bagger! (So let's see what happens when they all get together.)
"Tea Partiers Hold ‘Pro-Confederate Rally’ on MLK Weekend (Video)."
"When you think of the Confederacy, what are the first things that come to mind? Slavery, for good reason, but what about aristocracy and feudalism; the Antebellum South was the closest thing that America’s ever seen to the sort of landed gentry common in Europe and was fundamentally anti-democratic. Treason, perhaps? Some people may invoke abstracts — “honor” and “dignity” — but those 'feel good' façades are coats of lead paint over ingots of americium-241.
"With this in mind, I’ve never understood — and my family is from the South, with a capital 'S'— why anyone would want to pay tribute to that heritage. I’m ashamed of it. I’d rather not be associated with it at all, and I really wish other white people would sit down and not prance around with the flag like a fool. Especially when they do it on the weekend before Martin Luther King Jr. day, like the dozens of demonstrators who marched in honor of Generals Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackets last weekend.
"The Baltimore Sun reports that about 50 protesters stood silently across the streets from the pro-Confederate rally, some of them carrying signs that urged the Civil War enthusiasts to change the date of their annual demonstration. The group, Sons of Confederate Veterans and United Daughters of the Confederacy, said that weekend was chosen to honor the Confederate traitors because it was their birthdays; 19 and 21 January.
"King’s birthday, meanwhile, was 15 January, and the federal holiday is the third Monday of each January..."
Because it's all about the hate, isn't it...
But the final lesson is that none of the Republicans have denounced the Baggers...because they're on the same team.
********************
And they don't care because they share the same principles, and they aren't "colored" a bit differently at all.
The funny thing is that the Baggers live in the States that are the poorest and the least-educated, but they don't seem to mind the fact, as long as they can feel superior to the hated non-whites.
That's what's great about Conservative propaganda, it's suckers are the poorest and least-educated in the polity.
It's way past time to criminalize Conservatism, isn't it? Joyce, Jnr.
