What I think is inappropriate is to ridicule or otherwise act negatively toward entire large groups of people because some members acted badly or said something bad in the past. If we used that standard, nobody would be exempt because we are all members of some group that may have some members that may have done something inappropriate or impolite.

That's admirable but also highly ironic coming from someone who posts primarily to the pros. Do you read what people post there? Do you ever call them on it? Ridicule and derision of all things insufficiently conservative have been pretty central to the Republican party at least since the rise of Limbaugh, near as I can tell. Compared to that magnum corpus of work, in volume and duration, the teabagger thing is pretty asymmetrical.
