To be sure, most of the hundreds of Tea Party protests held this year have been populated by peaceful, middle-age, middle-class people indulging their inner John Hancock – not radicals out to pick a fight.

The first spark of violence connected to the Tea Party movement came in St. Louis Aug. 6 when a Tea Party protester named Ken Gladney was injured after a confrontation with Service Employees International Union protesters.
Both sides claim the other side started the confrontation, and the case is still under investigation.
A second scuffle also broke out last Saturday when Tea Party protesters in Phoenix attempted to evict a group of neo-Nazis trying to join their protest.

Let’s get this straight: any and all threats and acts of vandalism or violence are inappropriate and uncalled for. They should be condemned, stopped, and prosecuted when possible.
But there’s more to this: it seems to be getting a disproportionately high amount of coverage in the media. And frankly, rather uncritical coverage. Like the non-incident incident at the Washington Tea Party, in which the media unquestioningly repeated unsubstantiated claims of mass racism as fact, the media are blindly accepting the dominant narrative that conservatives are dangerous and hyping these few incidents as much as they can, in a rather obvious effort to smear the conservatism in general and the Tea Party in specific.
