Despite the Democrats organized effort to take to every media outlet to paint the Tea Party as 'terrorists', it has not caught on with the general public. According to a new Rasmussen poll released today, just 29% of people buy the slander, while 55% disagree.

Rasmussen writes:

"Fifty-five percent (55%) of Likely U.S. Voters, in fact, say members of the Tea Party are not economic terrorists. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 29% believe Tea Party members have been terrorists during the budget debates, while another 16% are undecided.

Perhaps tellingly, while 53% of Democrats view Tea Party members as terrorists, 57% of voters not affiliated with either major party disagree, as do 74% of Republicans"

Let’s see, Obama and Biden call them terrorists, Palin calls them patriotic Americans.

there’s a choice in there?

ALL of a sudden W’s patriot act doesn’t look so good.

Over one quarter of REPUBLICANS don’t know or think Tea Party types are terrorists?

Another poll posted here today shows that a quarter of those who identify themselves as conservatives and/or Republicans think Obama is doing a "great" job on the economy.

I think it's a mix of poll shenanigans and some jaw-droppingly stupid people who don't know what words mean.

The more obvious the lie, as is the dems (Axelrod, Kerry, Obozo) blaming the Tea Party for the failure of the Obozo administration’s economic policies, the less likely anyone with a brain is to fall for it.

I think it's a mix of poll shenanigans and some jaw-droppingly stupid people who don't know what words mean.

It might also include a few very cynical conservatives embracing the "worse is better" view and deciding that Obama is doing a "great job" handling the economy in that his actions make a GOP sweep with more real conservatives than RINOs in 2012 more likely with each passing hour.

They don’t have to sway even a sizeable majority...just a couple percent.

And reading some of the comments at the bottom of various news stories, they should have little difficulty: never seen so much ignorance and denial in my life.
