Which is exactly what I was after, thanks.

The list of characters that you can slap on to the end are (cribbed from
the Nutshell):

i => case-insensitive
o => substitute only once.
x => ignores whitespace so that you can put comments in to a regex.
m => matches over multiple lines - newlines are treated as any other
character.

And you can use combinations too, if you fancy.

Cheers Stefan,

Correct... Now if I or someone points out a few nutters in their ranks... They
all start whining about "painting the whole organization with the same brush"
and now I'm so intolerant that I judge the entire movement by the actions of a
few...

Hypocrits the lot of them!

Cite evidence that Tea Party Patriots, Tea Party Nation or Tea Party Express (to
name just 3 of the better known groups) are extremist

On Tuesday, MSNBC?s Contessa Brewer fretted over health care reform protesters
legally carrying guns: "A man at a pro-health care reform rally...wore a
semiautomatic assault rifle on his shoulder and a pistol on his hip....there are
questions about whether this has racial overtones....white people showing up
with guns." Brewer failed to mention the man she described was black.

Just need to open your eyes and look at their actual positions on
issues and the folks they support, Ray.

But you won't.

I don't see that.
I see a group of people with quite a different agenda that that of an
extremist group.
Anyway, I hold with the Libertarian view more than any other.

Well, we are a bit short on Blackthorns in this country.

And that is all I ask from Pubs or Dems.
After all, we do have to live together if we are to survive as a nation.

"Let's don't debate the issues. Let's ATTACK!!!"
A hell of a way to run a government, I'm thinking.
The Tea Party is serving a useful purpose which is getting back to trying to
run a functional country.

That is a good start. Me, I'm welding boiler plate over
the windows for the coming anarchies and revolutions, though
it's hard to see how the Great Unwashed could be any more
revolting!
