1. This is not evidence of racism. It's an online poll in which folks voted by choice. nt |

4. It's evidence of what people THINK about the Tea Bag movement, not what it is. nt |

5. No, that's true. At it's heart it's a populist movement |
|
of people who realize they're getting the shaft but don't know why. At the top, it's a bunch of GOP admen who are trying to keep them focused on all the wrong people. So far, those admen are succeeding and that's the reason for the perception.

6. It is evidence that 65% of the responders recognize the teabaggers, |
|
35% of the responders, as being racist CT nutbags.
I think it holds up with other polling - with the numbers of the bush base, the teabagger numbers, etc. Of course, the way it is worded the racist element is lumped in with the CT nutbags and while there is some crossover between them CT nutbags are not necessarily racist.

7. Right. It's evidence that 65% think tea baggers are racists. That's not what the OP suggested. nt |

2. Aren't those results pretty much the same as they'd be if it was a DU poll? |
|
Seems that way to me... :shrug:
