If by "a fairly good article looking at what really motivates the tea party" you mean "a laughable screed by Michael Kinsley (which is par for the course for Michael Kinsley) in which he turns up his nose at the tea party because it's not romantic, and excuses all the excesses of the '60s countercultural protesters because they 'meant well'", then yes.
The lack of self-awareness in that piece is truly astounding. I mean, if your major gripe with a political movement is that they're just not cool enough for you to ever, ever want to associate yourself with them, maybe you're the self-absorbed twat.
