Lepore had a great article in the New Yorker earlier this year on this subject, and which is available online.

Why the Right now claims the Revolution and the Left does not contest that claim is an interesting question. A part of it may be a general messaging issue that has plagued the Left since '08, and a part of it may be that Revolutionary-style rhetoric is more readily embraced by those out of power than those in power. The latter point, if correct, implies that the Tea Party may face a significant messaging problem of its own after the Republicans take one or both parts of Congress this Fall.
