ruining the dining experience of all the people around them to a Nazi themed cafe.

That makes as much sense as defending his actions.

He said in the heading of his OP that: "My family and I had a WONDERFUL day yesterday because of, believe it or not, teabaggers!" Does that mean he wouldn't have had a wonderful time if he couldn't have found someone he assumed was prejudiced against his group so he could ruin their meal? And remember he was working on his second impression and never exchanged one word with these people. His first impression was that his group was in the wrong. And unless they were the only two parties in the restaurant, they affected the dining experience of every other party also.

I have been in restaurants with groups like this, they ruin the experience for all around them.

Defend those types of actions if you want, it tells the rest of us a lot about you.
