You might want to read the articles you cite. In the first one it talked about one group who called itself members of the Tea Party, but the other members of the Tea Party objected to their position -

[FreedomWorks hoped that having Ms. Puig and Ms. Przybylski’s support would give the bill grass-roots credibility.

But many Tea Party groups objected, saying the bill violates the principles they have fought for, in particular, the libertarian tenet that the government cannot take property from one person against his will for the benefit of someone else. The bill, they argue, amounts to another government entitlement program.

“It creates class warfare,” said Sharon Cherubin, an activist in Lancaster County who home schools her children. “Is it fair that John Doe’s family earns a penny over poverty level and his parents have to sacrifice and work four jobs while the next guy gets a free ride?” ]

Additionally, that story was in the NY Times. I wouldn't trust them if they did a front page story claiming the sun will rise tomorrow.

The Art of War discusses some of the tactics that should be used in combat too, but that doesn't mean an organization who subscribes to some of those is a product of Sun Tzu.

>>Well, that legalizing drugs is one position I cannot support. Other than that, he's not too bad. Palin is smarter though and much, much hotter. I doubt she will run this time, but she can help frame the arguments and push for the most conservative candidate. If Ron Paul happens to get the R nod, I'll vote for him, without even holding my nose, because the alternative is to leave the great obfuscator in power and I truly believe he is out to destroy our way of life. His is a product of Saul Alinsky's school of radicalism, as is Hillary - http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/03/24/AR2007032401152.html
