NYT Comparison: Weatherman and Tea Party Movement?

The New York Times has made a very bizarre comparison between the Tea Party Movement and the Weather Underground.  They seek to compare the anger of the Weather Underground - which was a Left-wing terrorist group - with the Tea Party Movement.   The NYT doesn't, apparently, have any reporters or editors that either know, read or can research History.

Wikipedia says this about the Weather Underground:

Weatherman, known colloquially as the Weathermen and later the Weather Underground Organization (abbreviated WUO), was an American radical left organization. It originated in 1969 as a faction of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS)^[2] composed for the most part of the national office leadership of SDS and their supporters. Their goal was to create a clandestine revolutionary party for the violent overthrow of the US government and the establishment of a dictatorship of the proletariat.^[3]

Weather Underground was a communist, left-wing organization which "the group conducted a campaign of bombings through the mid-1970s, including aiding the jailbreak and escape of Timothy Leary. The "Days of Rage," their first public demonstration on October 8, 1969, was a riot in Chicago timed to coincide with the trial of the Chicago Seven. In 1970 the group issued a "Declaration of a State of War" against the United States government..."

A prominent member of the Weather Underground was Bill Ayers, an Obama adviser and unrepentant bomber.
