Tea Partiers Get Their News From Fox And Are More Likely To Justify Violence Against The Government

Last night, the New York Times and CBS News released a poll finding that the “18 percent of Americans who identify themselves as Tea Party supporters tend to be Republican, white, male, married and older than 45.” The poll, which “oversampled” Tea Party supporters “for the purpose of analysis” and “then weighted” them “to their proper proportion in the poll,” found that Tea Partiers are more likely than the general public to think President Obama “favors blacks over whites“:

The overwhelming majority of supporters say Mr. Obama does not share the values most Americans live by and that he does not understand the problems of people like themselves. More than half say the policies of the administration favor the poor, and 25 percent think that the administration favors blacks over whites — compared with 11 percent of the general public.

They are more likely than the general public, and Republicans, to say that too much has been made of the problems facing black people.



According to the poll, Tea Partiers are also more likely to believe that President Obama was born in another country, with 30 percent believing that compared to 20 percent of the general public. Supporters of the Tea Party are also more likely to believe that violence against the government is sometimes justified:

10. At the end of a very bizarre string of FOX offerings is involved assorted sexually charged...

homo-erotic & dominatrix based images; baggers are *made* to think in such ways in response to their known issues - that they experience themselves whether they know them or not - regarding performance. They can tune in and see blond, Germanic beauty queen: Gretchen Carlson, sawing away on her fiddle in performance, they can tune into the homo-erotic belligerence of O'Reilly, Hannity, Limbaugh - the pudgy, Faux-professorial, sobbing violent baby faced neo-Nazism of Glenn Beck as he poisons people coast-to-coast within toasts of death to anyone else that will not tune in and so they do...

They tune in and there is a clean, buffed, shiny jet-back haired 'FOX financial analyst' in a slinky, sleeveless black cocktail dress with her tinsy hem pulled well up past her muscled thigh so as to accent her calve, very patriarchal and in HD too, look...

Baggers are being manipulated on what will be a historic scale. I think its likely that because we're all witnessing it now, that time will have to intervene so we can better look back at it but there it is

Cause if FOX cared then they would. But they only care about money and hooking more johns. And they do know that like gambling, or prostitution, some will spend their last 3 dollars on two bit whore several times over till its gone welcome to FOXnews where the response of simple minds to realizing on some level that their performance issues are in fact their own are too often expressed in violent terms - its Murdoch's job to see that those shortcomings are blamed on anyone other than his customers
