Demonizing the Tea Party Movement

You know, rather than mocking, insulting, or making false accusations against the participants of the Tea Party movement, its opponents in the punditocracy might consider a couple of things, such as:

• Addressing the complaints these voters have about excessive government taxation, intrusion, and regulation of the economy.
• Thinking about how this movement manages to stay motivated and energized despite the lack of any single political figure in their camp...indeed, despite the fact that several political figures are trying (unsuccessfully) to co-opt the movement or sabotage it.

Just sayin'.
