The libertarian roots of the Tea Party -- CATO

whole buncha people were much more comfortable with those fundamentalist, bitter, clinging, woman-hating, gay-bashing pictures. Now, here comes Cato destroying all their fun

Libertarians led the way for the tea party. Starting in early 2008 through early 2009, we find that libertarians were more than twice as “angry” with the Republican Party, more pessimistic about the economy and deficit since 2001, and more frustrated that people like them cannot affect government than were conservatives.

Angry with the 'phants? Yep, that's a good description.
