Just angry about uh, something \t\t<\/a>
The teaparty movement…about what you thought<\/p>\n

<\/param><\/param><\/param><\/embed><\/object><\/div>\n

Thers already summed up the Teaparty movement earlier<\/a>, but let us just look at a snippet of a detailed poll<\/a> of the loud, angry, and over-covered (we all remember the detailed polling of the anti-war movement right?):<\/p>\n

…in follow-up interviews, Tea Party supporters said they did not want to cut Medicare or Social Security \u2014 the biggest domestic programs, suggesting instead a focus on \u201cwaste.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some defended being on Social Security while fighting big government by saying that since they had paid into the system, they deserved the benefits.<\/p>\n

Others could not explain the contradiction.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s a conundrum, isn\u2019t it?\u201d asked Jodine White, 62, of Rocklin, Calif. \u201cI don\u2019t know what to say. Maybe I don\u2019t want smaller government. I guess I want smaller government and my Social Security.\u201d She added, \u201cI didn\u2019t look at it from the perspective of losing things I need. I think I\u2019ve changed my mind.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

So, maybe Obama isn’t a Socialist Muslim? Surely, this woman needs a chalk-board to reaffirm her prejudices, this thinking stuff is discomforting.<\/p>\n

But the important thing is they’re real Americans and you aren’t, as Digby noted<\/a>, <\/p>\n

Regardless of your overall opinion, do you think the views of the people in the tea party movement generally reflect the views of most Americans?<\/p>\n

84% of the self-identified teabaggers said yes. Only 25% of the general public agreed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
