I think that the republicans thought it would be a nice thing that made people think it was a grass roots calling out of the democrats and it backfired on them.

The Ron Paul people were already planning these tea parties before Fox started to cover them. I think Fox thought they could hijack them and turn it into a neo-con love fest. That backfired badly on them. Most of the people at the tea parties dislike the way Bush ran things and dislike the way Obama is running things. Because in fact there has been no real change.
