Of the teabaggers I know......

I mean the ones I personally know, I would say that 95% of them are racist. This is not a judgment, it is a fact. Many of them are family members and some of them are acquaintances. I have heard them speak in their ugliest form and they are most definitely racists.

1. That's been my experience too. n/t

3. It's not far beneath the surface, either.

Even when they're on their "best behavior", the ugliness seeps out in very short order.

4. I believe that would be accurate

5. Same here

The ones I know are definitely racists. Complete bigots. Love to say disparaging things about women and minorities for a laugh. But when confronted they always say: I'm not a racist. It was a joke! Pressed to explain themselves they will mumble something like: Certain cultures and sexes are better than others....scientifically proven in the Bell Curve (A book they no doubt skimmed over the cover of or heard some radio blowhard talk about.) Which of course is one of the rights favorite book to refer to along with the Bible and Ayn Rand....again, books they prolly never actually read but have heard about from someone of influence.

Stupid reigns supreme.

6. but, are they ONLY racists?

they're also delusional, misinformed, close-minded, and provincial.

i don't know ANY tea baggers - i have just a few RW FB acquaintances - but i don't think they take the time to 'bag.

7. Same here. My husband works with a few at the prison...all racists.
