How come the vast majority of those few Americans who call themselves "Tea Party" activists seem sooo angry and so white?
Because THEY ARE. CBS News/NY Times poll dated April 14, 2010 shows the overwhelming majority of those who call themselves "Tea Party" activists
are white, older and very, very angry.
Take a look and find out who these fringe extremists really are:

They hardly represent the great and extraordinary diversity of the American People. How so?? THEY ONLY REPRESENT a MERE 18% of the American People!!
66% have a favorable view of Sarah Palin, and 59% have a favorable view of Glen Beck. Get this... 57% even have a favorable view of former President Geoge W. Bush, in spite of his increasing our country's deficit, leading the way for rescuing the financial sector with TARP and commencing TWO unpopular and astronomically expensive ENDLESS wars, costing thousands of needless deaths of our brave and exceptional American military personnel !!!
92% believe that President Obama is changing the USA to a socialistic country, and a shocking 30% believe that President Obama was not born in the USA
and are avid BIRTHERS (despite overwhelming uncontrovertible evidence to the contrary). ONLY 1% of "Tea Party" activists are black, and more than half at 54% say the are Republicans. Nearly three in four describe themselves as conservatives, and 39% say they are very conservative.
AND 53% of them, the majority, claim to be ANGRY about what they perceive is going down in Washington compared to only 19% of the rest of the American People.
No surprise, as the bizarre comments and totally warped perspectives of the "Tea Party" fringe here on this Forum certainly confirm what this poll so succinctly finds.
