this is quite a nuanced distinctionSince its inception back in 2010, critics of the tea party have claimed the conservative movement was motivated wholly or in part by racial animus towards President Barack Obama.
... The researchers found no difference between the racial attitudes of the general white population and self-identified tea party members. Those who had a favorable view of the tea party, on the other hand, were in fact more likely to admit to holding anti-black sentiments.
... But the evidence suggests the tea party wasn’t simply a racist reaction, though racists appear to be drawn to the movement.
... “What the tea party means to its members and what it represents to the large public may, in fact, not be the same thing.
So the tea party movement is racist in nature and the leadership is at least smart enough to hide their own racism during an interview for a study.
In other news: Water, wet.
this is quite a nuanced distinction
tea party members are not more racist than the general population
those who admire/support the tea party ARE more racist than the general population
trying to evaluate what that distinction should tell us
all i am able to conclude thus far is that the racists are too stupid to maintain an organization any more sophisticated than the KKK

and in this instance, the study has proven you correct. would think you would appreciate something which produces that rare outcome. it found that the tea party is no more racist than the general populationIt all sounds like bull**** anyway, no matter what the outcome. The Left really doesn't believe the Tea Party is racist, ...
what the study tell us instead, is that the tea party's fringe, its sideline supporters DO tend to be more racist than the general population...nor do they know. They just propagate that **** for political points. That's all it is.

It would have given them credence if they'd been a major voice prior to the election of Obama, after all Bush did run up the tab quite a bit to that point. Clinton, however got it paid down but I wonder if the Tea Party would ever sincerely honor him as being a fiscally responsible President who paid off Ronald Reagan's deficit or that Reagan wasn't the type of fiscally responsible President they couldn't say is the example of what they'd like to see in future Presidents with respect to keeping the deficit under control, they're supposed core mission. I also wonder if we'll see the Tea Party scale back after Obama is out even if there is another President who isn't fiscally conservative.
I know what the Tea Party says is their mission. I also know Tea Party people personally and get a lot of email chain letters from them dealing with politics. Its rarely about the deficit and nearly always simply anti-Obama on any and everything.
If you need a "study" done by "experts" to tell you that people are racist, they're not.
well there you have it
no need to study to determine fact from fiction
we can save our time, money and efforts in the future
all we need instead is to ask you
thank you for providing us such pervasive expertise; a nobel is certain to be in your future

Nothing in this study surprises me.
Most of the people living on this planet have a certain amount of prejudice against some group of people.
That is supported by a large number of studies.

The tea party only wants freedom for themselves and to put others in their subservient place.

Surly you can quote several tea party platforms that prove this statement?
The one where only heterosexuals get government marriage benefits.
The one in Louisiana that passed the bill for school vouchers then said she only meant it for Christian and not Muslims.
There are plenty.
