And everyone believes them.
If you mean that in the next few years they're as dangerous, I think they're potentially more dangerous than the KKK. I just don't see them as being as long lived.
The Klan has been around for 140+ years, IIRC.

Pointy Ghosts!
OK. What does Ku Klux Klan actually mean? And what is the "Tea Party"?

I run with scissors. It makes me feel dangerous

Otherwise, the wind might be taken out of their sails as the GOP descends into a blame-throwing civil war over what could've been. If the GOP gets a narrow majority, they won't be able to do a whole lot of legislation with a Democratic Senate and White House, but there'll be lots of rancor and partisanship. And the Tea Party's sails will be nice and puffed up for 2012. IMO, nothing will help ensure an Obama re-election and a GOP Congressional catastrophe more than a Republican primary which nominates either Palin herself or someone who'll be kow-towing to the far right of the party.
It all comes down to demographics. The Tea Party has an awful lot of aging, white, suburban/rural conservatives in its ranks. But their demographic isn't going to matter much in 2012 compared to Hispanics, younger ("millenial") voters, quite a few Independents, etc. They'll garner some headlines and a few victorious candidates in this Midterm year, but that very success will be their undoing in 2012. Look for the GOP to nominate a genuine moderate in 2016.
