NY Times has got Tea Party on the Brain

The NY Times is nervous about the Tea Party rallies and support. It is not that these people are so great, but any independent thinking is feared in the midst of an economic collapse. So the NY Times writes today, 4/15/10-

Tea Party supporters are wealthier and more well-educated than the general public, and are no more or less afraid of falling into a lower socioeconomic class, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll.

The 18 percent of Americans who identify themselves as Tea Party supporters tend to be Republican, white, male, married and older than 45.

They hold more conservative views on a range of issues than Republicans generally. They are also more likely to describe themselves as “very conservative” and President Obama as “very liberal.”

And while most Republicans say they are “dissatisfied” with Washington, Tea Party supporters are more likely to classify themselves as “angry.”

Frankly, I think they are afraid when Larouche pac intervenes on the Tea Party. Rachel Brown, with Larouche Pac got a good response at a Tea Party rally:

April 14, 2010 -- This was the theme of our intervention at the Tea Party Express rally featuring Sarah Palin, in the Boston Commons Wednesday. We had the Queen, Mr. Frank outfitted with a pig nose, big belly and stained shirt, and Barry Obama with his true hairs showing. Our three characters had a lovely tea party, with a suitcase of opiates on the table. There were many other protesters, but hordes were drawn to our event, wondering how we could be more audacious than Obama himself. Many were responding to impeachment, and many had heard about the refusal to eradicate
the poppy fields in Afghanistan, saying that a lot of people had been talking about that recently.

People already had LaRouche on the tip of their tongues as they walked up. Obama drew the biggest crowd, then people would laugh their asses off when they heard Barney sputtering incoherently. Next they would hear the Queen tell Obama and
Barney that impeachment will take too long, and that you don't know how to take care of yourselves since you got your independence.
