How do I respond to the Tea Party?  I dismiss them outright.  I find it hard to take any group seriously when they're created by a media conglomerate such as News Corp.  Those "tea party" people out there protesting?  They aren't critical thinkers.  They're sheep being herded by Rupert Murdoch and his cronies. 

Get back to me when it's an independent group of people speaking with intelligence, a genuine interest of the well being of the public, and some rational solutions, rather than protesting with ugly statements that are rife with ignorance.
