In what way does that sentence imply that you are a militia man or Tea Partier, given your beliefs?

The sentence reads: "Militia men and Tea Partiers hate fiat money". Not "people who hate fiat money are Tea Partiers or militiamen".

Some people love to be offended, I guess.

I'm not a offended, but it's a throwaway line. It's both irrelevant and unsupported by any facts in the article. (And in general only supported by anecdotal evidence at best.) The author uses its merely to identify his personal bona-fides to his intended demographic.

No, not really. I just find the constant injection of political labels tiresome.
