And sure enough, they are<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So with two “Tea Parties” floating around, how can you tell the difference?<\/p>\n

Never let it be said I’m not here to help. \u00a0 Here’s the Shot In The Dark “Tea Party Field Recognition Guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Leaves the protest site a mess choked with trash and debris<\/td>\nA liberal “Tea Party”<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

A challenge to the GOP<\/td>\nA conservative Tea Party<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Indistinguishable from the Democrat Party, because it’s a paid offshoot of the Democrat Party<\/td>\nA liberal “Tea Party”<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
