If they are not an organization officially promoting the violent overthrow of a lawful government, they are rife with people who are very open about wanting to do it. It's not in our interest to pretend that an anti-government organization whose members plan (and occasionally attempt to carry out) rebellion has political legitimacy.
Most pictures of Tea Party events I've seen consist of old folks with US flag pins and country music lovin' rednecks. Is there evidence that these people are by and large dangerous or violent? Do those right-wing extremists who do promote violence warrant suspicionless surveillance of everyone who holds right-wing, anti-government views? THAT would be crazy talk.
