The term "outside agitators" comes to mind.  I see the same parallels that you mention above, having experienced the earlier anti-war movement myself as well.  All kidding aside, I see the Teabaggers as with a legitimate complaint and a real grass roots movement.  They are and will continue to be a valid view point and focus on things that are really wrong with our system.  Hopefully, they overcome the Media Bias hell bent on misrepresenting them.

The government had plants and agitators imbedded with the anti-war movement just as sure as they probably have now within the Tea Party.  We have had a Presidential Enemies List before and I firmly believe that the same holds true with this administration as well.

When the only unifying element in a movement is anger it tends to attract angry people, angry for all kinds of reasons. Don't be shocked when that repels people, and don't mistake that repulsion for oppression.

I would expect that you would be happy to see the Baggers behave as you have said they all do.  They are proving your point and that should make you and all the rest who see them as racist nazis happy.  The only good Tea Bagger is a dead one.  America has room for only one point of view, that of the left.  Today will be proof of that.  Might as well round up all the Baggers and Repubs and intern them for further punishment and interrogation for disagreeing with the left.  No health care for you !  You freaking Tea Bagger, you freaking Republican.  We will fix your little red wagaons, just watch.  That will teach you to disagree with us.  We won, you didn't, that's how it works around here with Sherrif Barry and Deputy Nancy calling the shots now.  You think we are totalitarian, just wait ...you'll be cleaning the houses of illegal immigrants, now that's justice !

And this is how the repubs behaved as well when they held majorities in both bodies and the presidency. There is something to be said for gridlock as it forced compromise. Compromise is what is required for the American people (all of them) to be represented by their government.
 
True story.  Gridlock is good for this country because it does force compromise.  IIRC, the founding fathers anticipated this and made it difficult to pass legislation with the hopes of preventing bad legislation, or having one faction run roughshod over others.

Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) came to the defense of the racists and bigots who shouted slurs at members of Congress Saturday. The Tea Party protesters shouted the ‘n’ word at African American members of Congress the ‘f’ word at an openly gay member. Rather than condemn the anachronistic behavior, Nunes blamed the Democrats, saying that they make people do and say crazy things with their tyrannical behavior. “When you use a totalitarian tactics, people, you know, begin to act crazy,” Nunes told C-SPAN’s Steve Scully Sunday morning when asked about the slurs. “I think that people have every right to say what they want. If they want to smear someone they can do it. It’s not appropriate—I think I would stop short of characterizing the 20,000 people protesting, that all of them were doing that.” Nunes claimed that Democrats were using the racist behavior of health care protesters to distract from the vote itself. “Of course. I think the left loves to play a couple of incidents here or there, anything to draw attention from what they are really doing and that is that they have 250-some democrats in the House. They need 216 Democrats. They do not have them. They are buying votes. Last night at midnight the Rules Committee finished. And for the first time… it is called Slaughter House Rules now, named after the chairwoman of the Committee. This is the first Congress in history where we have not had an open rule in Congress. I do not want to get stuck on procedure, but they never allowed Republicans to offer amendments. Today's rule that the health care bill is under, that is jokingly being called a super max rule, because we have no ability to even ask the chair anything during the debate. And the debate I think it’s only an hour of debate, for a 1/6 takeover of our economy. This is some crazy totalitarian tactics that they’re engaged in.”
