Teabaggers Really are Racists

Former Congressman, Tom Tancredo, spoke last weekend at the Tea Party Nation in Nashville last weekend. About 600 teabaggers gathered at the Grand Ole Opry hotel. Tancredo put forth the idea that we should return to the days of literacy tests in order to be able to vote. These laws were called Jim Crowe laws when they were used to keep African Americans from voting.


Teabaggers will try to tell you that their opposition to President Obama is not about racism. They are lying. Judging by the applause Tancredo drew by calling for the return of Jim Crowe laws make it impossible to say that the Tea Party is not a group of blatant racists.

While most polls on the internet that are labeled as "unscientific" usually fade into obscurity even before all the votes are tallied, every now and then one becomes a meme.

Thursday morning, a Wonkette blog post titled "Fox News Poll: Yes, We Are Insanely Racist Crazy People" made it onto Digg's recommended list.
