Micah - don't buy it. "A horde is not a movement" when you don't like it's a politics.... Or when it doesn't have politics. Guessing that hordes never have politics. Or it's the politics of the mob, which is rarely Brooklyn friendly

More seriously, movement is a word with clear a meaning: a large number of people who share a common vision taking concerted action together outside of a formal organizational structure. The Tea Party was a movement--and I certainly didn't agree with its politics. But I recognize structurally what it was. Try again.
