Teabaggers Least Popular Political Group In The United States (NY Times Article)

Actually, this thread is regarding an article from the NY Times and references a scholarly, published, objective study. It doesn't have anything to do with teabaggers devolving our government in congress by appeasing to the disenfranchised, white, racist vote in mostly southern and bible belt states. It is entirely public opinion based on the majority of citizens surveyed, not politicians. So, don't get butt hurt, cracker.

BWAHAHAHA. Scholarly Published Objective study? Please. Straight from the article "In April 2010, a New York Times/CBS News survey found that 18 percent of Americans had an unfavorable opinion of it". That's all we need to see, move along people, nothing to see here.

Why don't you print a poll taken by Media Matters or better yet, the Huffington Post. The NY Times has NO CREDIBILITY on this forum pal,, they are shills for the Obama administration and liberal douchebags the world over. Fuck, they still print articles by that hack Krugman. Articles from "The Blaze" have 50 times more credibility.

Dolt.

Survey’s surprising finding: tea party less popular than atheists and Muslims


In an op-ed article in the New York Times, Robert D. Putnam, a professor of public policy at Harvard, and David E. Campbell, a political scientist at Notre Dame, say they have collected data indicating that the tea party is "less popular than much maligned groups like 'atheists' and 'Muslims.'"
But Campbell says the tea party was really an afterthought in their research.
"We didn't go into this study to look at the tea party," Campbell said in an interview with The Ticket.
The professors were following up on research they conducted in 2006 and 2007 for their book "American Grace: How Religion Divides and Unites Us" and decided to add the tea party and atheists to their list of survey queries. By going back to many of the same respondents, the professors gleaned several interesting facts about the tea party.
One of their more surprising findings, Campbell concedes, (and one drawing national attention) is that the tea party drew a lower approval rating than Muslims and atheists. That put the tea party below 23 other entries--including Barack Obama, Sarah Palin, Republicans and Democrats--that the professors included on their survey of "a representative sample of 3,000 Americans."
By examining which respondents became supporters of the tea party, Campbell and Putnam's survey "casts doubt on the tea party's 'origin story,' " they write in the Times--though, in fairness, it's perhaps difficult to generalize on the movement's origins from a poll sample of 3,000 respondents.
Early tea partiers were described as "nonpartisan political neophytes," Campbell and Putnam write, but their findings showed that tea partiers were "highly partisan Republicans" who were more likely than others to have contacted government officials.
"They are overwhelmingly white, but even compared to other white Republicans, they had a low regard for immigrants and blacks long before Barack Obama was president, and they still do," they went on.
In addition to being socially conservative, the study found a close tie between religion and the tea party, whose supporters seek out "deeply religious" elected officials.
"This helps to explain why candidates like Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry are just as much about the public presentation of themselves as religious people as fiscal conservatives," Campbell told The Ticket.
Campbell said Tuesday that he does not regard his research as politically motivated. "I don't have a particular dog in this or any other political fight," he said.
"We actually didn't go into this study primarily to look at the tea party," he told the Ticket. "The primary purpose of the study is to update what we learned about religion in America."
Wow a member of the NAZI party trying to call another political party rascist.

the nazis hated less groups than the tea baggers.
So a group with plenty of minority support, plenty of minority representatives, thats main points are small government, states can govern themselves, and we need not stop policing the world, is inherently hateful? because you heard so on TV? the same TV that that is owned by those few individuals that really dont want a change in american politics, yeah sounds like you pay more attention to "news poles" than real research.

You do realize the Nazi's were socialist? The tea party doesn't hate anyone they just want a smaller government with less spending. But don't let a little thing like facts to stand in the way of your hate

Is that the best YOU can do? Think I'm offended by being called a communist by somebody who doesn't even know the definition of that word? If you were observant, LOL yeah right, you would see that I clearly pledge allegiance to the Democratic SOCIALIST party in my signature. I LoL when conservative dicks try to insult me with the status quo, "pinko commie" line.

I was just keeping it real about your SN. Stuffed crust cheesy. Do you still have your original high school email address too (IraSexIra@yahoo)?

I don't know if you noticed or not but Bachman is the self proclaimed leader of the tea party, the key word being self. Sure she is right on when it comes to spending but the idea of a constitutional amendment to define marriage is moronic and shows how little she understands the tea party.

Just because you say a red car is green doesn't make it so. If it walks like a communist and talks like a communist it must be a communist. Oh and ask your mother about my email. She has my email and she loves my libertarian dick when I stuff her cheesy crust.

WTF do you know about spending besides what FOX news has been force feeding you? Enlighten us with your idea of what, "too much government spending" means. Please? This should be fun...
You see if you have a government, then you triple the size of that government over ten years, and have numerous overseas military occupations some of which have continued for 50 years, and overregulate the market to the point that capitalism no longer functions and half the prices we see in the stores are artifically created by trade embargoes and subsidizing unedbile corn to promote the making of corn syrup.

Gee non of that sounds like wasteful living.
