The Sixties and the Tea Party

March 29, 2011framingsixties

Many commentators and historians see comparisons between the Tea Party and the rise of the Right in the 1960s. Today’s New York Times has a fascinating piece that finds the root of the Tea party in ’60s-era conservatives. “The Tea Party supporters recycle their language from the conservative movements of the early 1960s in response to the Kennedy presidency,” the story argues, writing later that one can find in the Tea Party “echoes of the early 1960s.”
