^^^ What's a "big deal" is that these Tea Party people (Sarah, too) are forever invoking the Founding Fathers. They subtly try to insinuate that they are better americans than liberals because they have the Founders and God on their side. Some of those tea baggers would dress in Revolutionary War militia garb, some brought drums and fifes, Paul Revere was a common costume at the rallies. These Tea Partiers set themselves up in a holier-than-thou position, referencing the Founders and Revolutionary history and Constitutional intent -- and it turns out they haven't even done a good high-school student's amount of reading on the subject. Both Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin appear to pull information right out of their ass when they don't know the answer or when they are doing improvised speaking. They get caught out in their misinformation, yet they STILL invoke the Founders and God and Flag and Country the next week even as they continue to refuse to learn any actual facts.
