-TPers booed when they heard Obama gave them a tax cut.
-TPers booed when Obama proposed a plan that was written by a TPer.
-TPers cheered to let a man die because he doesn't have health insurance.
-TPers booed at a gay soldier who risked his life for his country.
Just some examples I'd like to point out. I am still convinced the TP is racist at its core. It's latent racism. It's micro-aggressionism disguised as politics. And it is the reason why it's attracted all the bigots in this country. For once in a very long time, you can be openly bigoted and it's perfectly ok.

To be fair, they are not the only group who vote against their own interest. Another group that behaves somewhat like this is the hispanic community. They have a pretty good record of voting republican even though the republican party hates them. Why? Because I guess the hispanics are more anti-gay than they are pro-immigration rights.

The current tea party movement is not even close to the know-nothings. First of all, the know-nothings weren't supporting policies that were against their self-interests. But more importantly, they had an excuse to be ignorant bigots. The current tea partiers have absolutely no excuse to being shamelessly ignorant bigoted sons of bitches.
