Tea Party debate on Martin Luther King Day?

I am one of the few that thought having a Tea Party Debate on Martin Luther King Day was a big joke, or are there many others that thought the same thing. As a group of people, the Tea Party in many states have taken voting rights away from millions of people, have added unnecessary medical procedures before women can get an abortion, have put down working poor inter-city parents, and have stated that they want all people that aren't heterosexual to be second class citizens. Actually, after stating all those things that they against, dishonoring Reverend King's Day with their rhetoric seems like a rather small potato dishonoring. The reaction of the audience, from their boos to their giving Newt a standing ovation for his anti-poor stance, that was the big potato.
