One more thing regarding "racist" and "right wing" canards hurled at tea parties. "My" tea party included "people of color", a self identified liberal Democrat speaker, and another speaker irked at Obama for breaking his campaign promise to bring the troops home from Iraq. (Tea party organizers hosted an open microphone and issued an invitation to the crowd of 1,000 for people to come up and speak their mind.)
