I'm sorry, but Objectivist, Ron Paul supporters, and the hard right have very little in common. The idea of them working together is pretty darn rare actually. The left pointing all of this out shows, as you said, that they are trying to discredit the movement as a whole. However, 40 years ago, the anti-war movement was similarly attack as "fringe". But they made their point and won. We must do the same. Bill,

It is great for us to know that we were a party of American history, and we know that this was not the end. We will only be taken seriously as the movement grows bigger with each event. I know that the organizers of the Lee County and Dougherty County Tea Parties are going to work in concert to bring another event to our area on the 4th of July. A variety of places and events are being examined to make this a family friendly “American Freedom Day” celebration. Can we do it amid the efforts of the populists that want to toss cold water on our tea? To borrow a phrase from the Obama movement, “Yes We Can!” Tom,
