After watching it, I made a list of the Tea Party/Taliban items that were mentioned:
- ideological purity
- compromise as weakness
- fundamentalist belief in scriptural literalism
- denying science
- unmoved by facts
- undeterred by new information
- hostile fear of progress
- demonization of education
- a need to control women's bodies
- severe xenophobia
- tribal mentality
- intolerance of dissent
- pathological hatred of us govt
Sounds EXACTLY like the tea party to me
