1) I would love to examine the data on that - lets see it
2) what constitutes "large segment"?
3) you and others on the far right seem to have no trouble talking about it so the allegation - baseless or otherwise - is hardly being kept a state secret

The average TEA Bagger is white, middle-aged, overweight, with racist tendancies. He opposes abortion, supports state sanctioned murder as punishment, is a war monger and knows he is too old and purned out to ever have to fight. He owns several guns and listens to country music. He tells people he has many coloured friends but in fact would shoot the first coloured guy who came onto his property after dark. Yes, the TEA Baggers are just what America needs.

What I find interesting from the poll results, taken from the actual poll page: The Winston Group » Behind the Headlines: What’s driving the Tea Party Movement?

Tea party identifies as conservative: 65 %
Overall conservative: 33 %

Tea party identifies as moderate: 26 %
Overall moderate: 45 %

Tea party identifies as liberal: 8 %
Overall liberal: 20 %

Conservatives make up 2/3 of the tea party, about double their national rate, while moderates and liberals are significantly lower represented in the tea party than national average.

Also, tea party favorable opinion of republicans in congress, 57 %, versus 39 % overall.

Have you noticed that most polls on the tea party contradict each other? look at liblady's poll earlier in this thread for example.

blind nanny state unionist communists like you and others on the far left, are far too much "true believers" to objectivley discuss topics without calling anyong right of Mao the "far right", this is about all that is apparent.

Since you insist on lying and calling me a far right, extreme right, etc, even though I have shown you this is not the case. I will refer to you as a maoist, marxist far leftist, sound fair?

Don't waste your time, if I didn't post here, I would have no idea how much venom some on the extreme left have for the tea party, they tend to be far more boisterous on the interwebz. :lol:
 
I remember a sort racism when this whole tea party thing started a couple of years ago. It seemed like they were trying to show that black people and Latinos were upset about the deficit and that minority people should be upset,too. Their photos tried to include whatever blacks and other minorities might have shown up at the rallies.

So it was just completely racist to single them out this way.

What have I done? People don't understand sarcasm.

The Tea Party made effort to attract minorities but it didn't work!

There is one black guy in this crowd. See if you can find him.

Here is another. Can you find the one Asian?

Tea Party rally pics could be used like "Where's Waldo" books, only just make it into "Where's the Racial Minority?"

It amazes me that in the US in 2011 people are still obsessed with skin color.

Same here. I'm glad you agree with me that this obsession with skin color is ridiculous and needs to stop.

It amazes me people play the Racism card to destroy stuff they don't like.
 
Also interesting to me is that the same people who look at a tea party and say "Where are the black people????" as evidence of "racism" never, ever, ever say that when talking about, say, a rap concert or church that is made up of entirely black people. Why not say "Where are all the white people????" as evidence of "racism"? Hmmmm..... It's only "racist" if it's all white people, eh? Hypocrites.

Do you all see how moronic this argument is? Who CARES what color skin people have? We are all HUMANS no matter what skin color we have. A group of people of all different skin colors isn't "better" than a group of all one skin color. Skin color should be NO FACTOR in your opinions about the "goodness" of the group. Listen to what they SAY and DO, not what they look like. Gah!

Civil rights were fought in the sixties. That means we have less than 50 years after civil rights. Those who thing all problems can be vanished in so short a time really don't understand how these things work.

yah especially when left wing partisans see racism in anything that they disagree with.

If you are referring to me, I just brought up the skin color argument because I found it funny how defensive tea partiers like Rev are when it is simply mentioned. I never said a thing about racism, but he was so bothered by the fact that he belonged to a group of mostly white people that even mentioning race set him off on a tirade. I have no problem with the tea party being a mostly white movement, and I mention it simply as an observation. I'm not sure why the tea pary movement is composed primarily of dissatisfied white people, and I'm not sure why nobody has bothered to find out. Even you seem to find it offensive to even ask such a question, which I find rather hilarious. When I see responses like the one above it screams "DEFENSIVE". Why are you bothered by belonging to a white movement?

And people that blindly call out Racism make that much harder to fight against real Racism.

People aren't stupid. you mentioned it because you knew that associating the tea party with race is straight out of the left wing play book, if you didn't, what does that say about you?


Are you arguing ignorance, or lack of intellectual capacity?
