Tea party 'extremists' rock and reload July 4
« on: May 12, 2009, 12:36:59 AM »
I wonder if the MSM and Democrates will make as much fun of and repeat the same sick, obnoxious jokes as they did with the first TEA party.  Probably even more than the first TEA party.

Tea party 'extremists' rock and reload July 4
Independence Day fireworks of protest cover all 50 states.

The American Family Association is now sponsoring Independence Day tea parties in more than 640 U.S. cities in all 50 states.

The Taxed Enough Already, or TEA, parties will be held at 12 p.m. in front of city halls across the nation.

"Our goal is simply to keep the grassroots organizations mobilized," said Michael DePrimo, special counsel to AFA President Tim Wildmon. "We don't want people to think of it as a one-time event and then have it fall by the wayside."

AFA is hosting a Tea Party Day website so volunteer organizers may register their protests.

Planning to attend an Independence Day tea party? Don't forget to order your "Don't tread on me" Gadsen flag! Buy one now at WND's online store.

The group encourages tea party attendees to bring cell phones and call the president, 202-456-1414, and Congress, 202-224-3121, while attending the rallies.

DePrimo told WND the recent Tax Day protests were extremely popular and successful. A new poll reveals many Americans support beliefs of tax protest organizers.

According to a Zogby poll commissioned by the O'Leary Report that was released April 28, the survey of 3,937 voters in the last election shows a full 57.1 percent of respondents somewhat or strongly support beliefs of tea party organizers, while 39.3 percent somewhat or strongly opposed them.

The margin of error is +/-1.6 percent, according to Zogby.

Even 52.6 percent of respondents with no tax liability supported the tea party movement while only 41.8 percent did not. Of those with tax liability, 58 percent supported the protests while 39.4 percent did not.

Military service members and their families (60.7 percent expressed support) were more likely to support the core beliefs of tea party movement than their non-military peers (48.5 percent expressed support).

AFA lists hundreds of tea party organizers who are scheduled to coordinate the July 4 events, and it is adding more by the day. DePrimo said volunteers who do not see their location on the list should visit the Tea Party Day website to add their tea party information. The current list includes the following towns and cities:

I don't understand this. It seems the majority of Americans somewhat or strongly support the beliefs of Tea Party organizers, yet (according to practically every pollster out there) the majority of Americans (56% to 69%, depending on who you ask) somewhat or strongly approve of President Obama. How can both of these be true?

Because people like the underdog (TEA Parties), but also like free stuff from rock stars (Obama).

Zogby never claims to interview smart people... just regular people.

Never, ever swallow a poll until you've seen sample construction, question flow, and tabulated results.  In particular never, ever believe the media's reportage of polls.  The best you will get is a headline and headlines are notoriously unrepresentative of an article's content.

Polls the general public sees are used to gauge the effectiveness of spin and opinion forming.  The really accurate stuff is never seen by the public.
"Men, it has been well said, think in herds. It will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one."
- Charles Mackay, Scottish journalist, circa 1841

"Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it." - John Lennon

It has to do with manipulation of poll questions and statistics.
For example:
If I asked the question: "If given the choice, would you prefer to eat your own dung to the dung of a cat?"

Answers:
Strongly prefer
Prefer
Somewhat prefer
Don't prefer

Poll 1000 people and get the following results

Strongly Prefer 15%
Prefer             35%
Somewhat prefer 25%
Don't prefer     30%

I could show the results to mean that 70% of people like to eat their own dung.

It may sound counterintuitive, but don't pay attention to the stats. What's really important is the fact that the Tea Parties are happening. And that the media can't ignore that not everybody likes Obama.
