Pajamas Media did a survey, on peoples opinion of the Tea Party. While the leftist are trying to paint the Tea Partyers as Racist extremist, It looks as though most people aren’t buying it.

Interesting, but I don’t know what it all means. Afterall there really isn’t much of a formal organization called the Tea Party. I think the question might have been better phrased, “Have you attended a Tea Party event?”
How strongly do you agree with the statement “The Tea Party Movement is racist?
- 16% Strongly agree
- 19% Somewhat agree

What is disturbing is the 35% that actually believe that the movement is racist. The Teapartyers, don’t have a social agenda. They are about limited government and spending. While the Tea Party may attract peoples who are socially conservative the movement itself does not put forth a united front on issues such as immigration, and equal rights. If the Leftist want to be taken seriously they are going to have bring the debate to the real issues. The problem is that know they will lose, when the discussion to real issues and solving problems.
