The theme of the Boston Tea Party, an iconic event in American history, has long been used by anti-tax protesters.[12][13][14] It was part of Tax Day protests held throughout the 1990s and earlier.[15][16][17][18] By 2001, a custom had developed among some conservative activists of sending tea bags to legislators and other officials via postal mail as an act of symbolism.[19]

More recently, the anniversary of the original Boston Tea Party was commemorated on December 16, 2007,[20] by Republican Congressman Ron Paul supporters who held a "Boston tea-party event" in 2007 which was a fundraiser for the Ron Paul 2008 Presidential Campaign which advocated an end to fiat money and the Federal Reserve System, disengaging from foreign entanglements in Iraq and Afghanistan, and upholding States' rights.[21][22][23]

Maybe not the father but very influential in the Tea party. Again I think you guys were pelted by his followers so much you cant stand the sound of his name anymore :)

How about Rand? How do you feel about him?

As far as I know, Rick Santelli introduced the Tea Party idea to the public.

Ron Paul is doing his usual bandwagon-jumping, much like the "I didn't vote for any earmarks" garbage he likes to use during election season that pulls in so many gullible fools.  Giving him credit for anything other than introducing the equivalent of a flash mob of jerks and assholes into everyday political discourse is a joke.

That's pretty accurate, with this to boot - There isn't much about Dr. Nutz that hasn't been analyzed, dissected, and scrutinized before eventually discarding him and his minions. Don't make the mistake of thinking that those who reject Dr. Nutz and his cadre do so without careful analysis.

If you take a month or so and do a search on Ron Paul on this web site, you will find more than enough to keep you busy. Dr. Nutz has been discussed ad nauseum for a very, very long time.

The idiom "a nut doesn't fall far from its tree" works well here.

Rand bothers me because of his statements that he things the Civil Rights Act is unconstitutional.

It just struck me, that he may have a point. Why was there a push to pass the Equal Rights Amendment back in the 70's if equal rights could be forced on people by laws?

The only thing that I've heard Rand Paul mention regarding civil rights, is that enforcing them often violates the rights of someone else. Granted, I usually tune him out, because he sounds a lot like Dr. Nutz.
