The democrats just changed it...they just changed it to the koch brothers started it by making the first tea party website in 2002. Anyone can claim their website is a "teaparty" website. There isn't any evidence to support this claim that the Koch Brothers made the first tea party website in 2002. Even if the web archive is not manipulated, the koch bros abandoned it and no one knew about it...thus it had no influence over the formation of the tea party.

Dems call them teabaggers and anyone they hate is automatically a teabagger.

Looks like there is a debate going on there in the talk section called "Ron Paul is too heavy in the lede".
