I never take too seriously the stereotypes of the members of the tea party movement because all one has to do is google "tea party infiltration" and find the gazillions of stories (from a wide variety of sources) about those in opposition to the tea party who deliberately wish to make the people in the movement live up to the stereotypes and do the stupid things.
The goal, of course, is to make the stereotype of the members the story rather than what the movement is itself.
I can't say if the person holding the Obama sign with a Hitler mustache was such a person or not. All I know is I try not to focus so much on the people who look likes idiots and look at what any particular movement stands for.
There's
this, with one hysterical woman proclaiming that she will never have to worry about gas in her car or her mortgage now that Obama has been elected. I suppose she could be my poster child for anyone who supports Obama, but that would be ridiculous. I think there are many such people, but I don't think any Obama supporters here are like that (as misguided as you are
), and I don't think most of the Obama supporters are like that.
It grows tiring hearing about how "frighteningly believable" it is.
