This is like a Media Matters poll question.
"How psychotic are all tea partiers?"
a)Carrie
b)Carrie minus the blood
c) Very psycho, but harmless
d)Just regular psycho
And then the results come in and it is breaking news on CNN and MSNBC that all Tea Partiers are deemed psychotic by scientific polling data.

The ‘Free Speech Wall,' elected as a form of protest against SHSU's new social media policy, was taken down after a confrontation between a professor and student event organizers resulted in a section of the sign being cut out, according to police and event officials.
A math professor, whose name has not been confirmed, complained to event organizers that sections of the sign reading "**** Obama," and other such terms, were offensive and needed to be removed.
Officials said after a verbal confrontation, the professor returned with a box-cutter and removed the section himself.
University police were then called and collected information before telling event organizers and their faculty adviser, they needed to remove the profanity, according to University Police Chief James Fitch.
Kenneth Hendrickson, SHSU Lovers of Liberty faculty adviser, said the groups were told by police that they had three options: remove the sign, block out the use of the "F-word", or cut out all uses of the "F-word."
Hendrickson said the group ultimately chose to remove the sign because the word was written "all over" the posters. He added that if the group had chosen to cut, or block out, the use of the word, they would have had no room for any more writing.
Therefore, he said, the group chose to completely remove the sign.
The group was told if they had not removed the section, they could be cited for disorderly conduct.
Morgan Freeman, president of SHSU Lovers of Liberty and one of the event organizers said the event had great response from those who attended the event before the sign was taken down.
"A ton of students came out to write on it," Freeman said. "We had a tremendously positive response from most of the students."
When asked by Morgan whether Obama's presidency has made racism in the United States better or worse, Freeman, who once played apartheid-defying South African president Nelson Mandela, frankly stated that his time in office has made it worse, as he has become a target of the right's aggression.
"Their stated policy, publicly stated, is to do whatever it takes to see to it that Obama only serves one term," the actor said. "What’s, what does that, what underlines that? 'Screw the country. We’re going to whatever we do to get this black man, we can, we’re going to do whatever we can to get this black man outta here.'"
Declaring once again that "it's a racist thing," Freeman said the group's rise has shown the hate still lingering in America.
it's kind if their point.You had a decent post going until you fouled it up with a (false, and asinine) ad-hominem attack.
He dislikes what your party represents? Oh, well let's join the national enquirer and accuse him of being incorrect AND of incest! That'll reinforce your cred.
I do not think the TP is racist; only divisive. FTR.
