They have?
So your statement is false.
But well not judge the TPM by the actions of a few.
And the TPM wont be judged by the OP alone, either - despite her ignorance and stupidity.
So you had to go all the way back to 2009 to find a minor altercation where it is far from clear who was the aggressor, other than that someone entered another's "protest zone". I can't tell, is the "protest zone" painted on the sidewalk so it is easily identifiable?
The video has since been removed from YouTube for "copyright" issues, but I would note as shown in the link you posted that "The link is a YouTube video of the altercation provided by a Tea Party supporter."; it seems unlikely that the video supported your position.
In any case, this one incident out of the hundreds of peaceful Tea Party rallies is the exception which proves the rule.
No, the OP stated that the TPM was completely devoid of violence, which was proved false. How long ago is irrelevant. Had she the intelligence to use a rhetorical device such as for the most part she might be accurate.
But you miss the point.
The fact is members of the TPM engaged in violent acts. Should the entire TPM be judged by the actions of a few?
No.
Just as all Muslims should not be judged by the actions of a few.
No, I think you missed the point, which was "the media rush[ing] to judgment"; you simply chose to focus on the more minor point of her use of the word "all".
