As I side note, most of the Tea partiers, including the founders are righteous. However, there will always be some lunatics who will join as well. The Tea Party event I went to was very pro-Israel. I saw a couple members with Israel T-shirts, and one of the speakers talked specifically about Obama's throwing Israel under the bus.
But, OBVIOUSLY, its nothing near Geert's Dutch People's Party. But its the only large scale movement in the US that I support.
