:::I've lost count of how many times someone has come along and tried to insert additional information about how Ron Paul started the "Tea Party movement". The cite mentioned here, however, says nothing of the sort. There is a mention in the article 1) of Paul and how he used the "Tea Party" imagery for his political campaign to become president and 2) their claim that they started it, but no independent RS that says "Ron Paul started the Tea Party movement in 2008". That's why it says 2009.
