Would today's "Tea Baggers" have favored the British in 1773?
Yes. The new "Tea Baggers" favor rich and powerful business interests over the people's interests which means they would have favored the rich and powerful British East India (Tea) Company.over the American colonists.

Absolutely!
In fact, only 1/3 of the colonists favored the Patriots; 1/3 favored the British, and 1/3 were neutral.
We're still carrying the load of the British sympathizers. The Teabaggers are simply the most recent manifestation of the group.

By you using this degrading comment of what you have called the Taxed Enough Already says volumes about where you stand.
If these people who are saying that the government are making everyone who pays taxes are too high they would most certainly be against the British Crown and government.
The people who I have seen were middle class citizens and were from all racial groups.

"Tea baggers" is a non sequitur. People have been attending "tea parties" to demonstrate peacefully, the fact that their representatives are NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO THEM! It is the right and DUTY of every American to seek redress from the government whenever they feel those rights are being abrogated.
Try not being so snotty and really delve into what is going on.
