The IVN Team.
Judging by the content of the article, the IVN staff is clearly comprised of dyed-in-the-wool Paulsheviks.*
* I intend this term to be derogatory of Ron’s supporters, not Rand’s.
I call them Paulestinians, others might say Rontard, Ronulen, Paulbot, crazy whacko or any number of other terms.
Any of these Ron Paulians also participant in Occupy protest activity?
I think this author may have confused the “Tea Party” with “Occupy Wall Street.”
They just know that he’s anti-war, anti-Israel and pro-Marijuana. That’s all they need to hear.
Chad Peace? LOL.
The inhabitants of Sodom and Gommorah may have very well favored low taxes and a small government. If so, that didn't make them Conservative. Having they turned away from God, they were nothing but liberals.
75% of the women in the picture are not guilty.
Yeah, I was a good looking man when I was 23 years old, too. Let’s see where they are 30 years down the road.
I think the third from the right has staying power.
Yeah, notice how they act like Rick Santelli’s rant on CNBC - which gave name to the tidal wave movement that was building - is something that just sort of added on to Ron Paul’s massive movement.
What a bunch of Paul-tards indeed. And yes, I exempt the Rand Paul folks from that term.
Looks like a groupthink cult photo to me. Yet they claim to be independent (thinking) voters. Hippies. They’re like weeds. You can dig them up, spray them out, but they still manage to sprout out of nowhere.

Actually, most of Ron’s following are fairly wealthy techies (engineers, programmers, etc) and are more likely to be protested by the Occupy zombies.
Except for a possible Oriental, they're all white in that picture. Contrast that with the real Tea Party which does have members of all colors:
I am by no means an advocate of forced diversity or multiculturalism. Yet true Conservatism just naturally crosses all color lines and ethnicities.

AFAICS they are two separate movements, but at the point in 2012 that TEA Party Express began their cross country trek, the two had melded together on those rallies, and there was a vocal Ron Paul contingent at each of them.
This is such a lie.
Are we talking about the same Tea Party?
It had nothing at all to do with Ron Paul. Not that it was actively hostile, but it was not a Ron Paul operation in any way.
