Oh my! Tea Party members aren’t hayseeds…. the NY Times has realized that the Tea Party people have more education and money than the average person, and aren’t people with no teeth from rural Michigan driving around in pickup trucks in the middle of the night trying to figure up how to kill local police.
How can this be? Everyone knows that the more education you get, the more liberal you become… Is the NY Times’ world view inaccurate?
The NY Times poll found that 20% of Americans have attended a tea party event or cosider themselves part of the movement.
This at the same time that “so called” TV network CBS slugged the poll results as:

“Tea Party Activists Small But Passionate Group”
No, what is small is CBS ratings and its chances of surviving as a news gathering operation….
Wouldn’t you love to see a class action suit for defamation filed against all of the media outlets and specific individuals (Jason Levin, are you listening?) who depicted Tea Party activists as homophobic, bigoted hillbillies? Action like that might eventually ensure more accuracy in media.
I WILL sign on to that class action suit just to tick them off even more. NY Times who!!!!!
CBS – gone!
NBC – gone!
ABC – gone!
MSNBC – already dead!
CNN – on life support!
I think most Americans can stomach views that don’t fall in line with their own (that whole First Amendment thingy), but don’t want a whole wad of #$% shoved down their throats (ditto with the Health Care REFORM act)! Americans were taught in school about Russian propaganda, and are smart enough to recognize it here in the current media.
