What turned a good deal of Americans against the Tea Party was the constant smear campaigns by a corrupt, left-wing, Obama-directed media that did nothing but puff pieces to manipulate the sheeple into looking at the smelly, diseased, feral, violent, unpatriotic, America-hating, Jew-hating, Islamo-terror-sympathizing, neo-hippie, pro-Communist useful idiots of "Occupy Wall Street" and its offshoots in a favorable light.
