The entire article is an interesting read. Here's where they say who they think the Tea Partiers:
--------------------------------------------- So what do Tea Partiers have in common? They are overwhelmingly white, but even compared to other white Republicans, they had a low regard for immigrants and blacks long before Barack Obama was president, and they still do.
More important, they were disproportionately social conservatives in 2006 — opposing abortion, for example — and still are today. Next to being a Republican, the strongest predictor of being a Tea Party supporter today was a desire, back in 2006, to see religion play a prominent role in politics. And Tea Partiers continue to hold these views: they seek “deeply religious” elected officials, approve of religious leaders’ engaging in politics and want religion brought into political debates. The Tea Party’s generals may say their overriding concern is a smaller government, but not their rank and file, who are more concerned about putting God in government.
This inclination among the Tea Party faithful to mix religion and politics explains their support for Representative Michele Bachmann of Minnesota and Gov. Rick Perry of Texas. Their appeal to Tea Partiers lies less in what they say about the budget or taxes, and more in their overt use of religious language and imagery, including Mrs. Bachmann’s lengthy prayers at campaign stops and Mr. Perry’s prayer rally in Houston.

Don't need a link, just read the comments by teabaggers on this forum.
But there was a study done with this sample population and it found that from polling this study group, "They are overwhelmingly white, but even compared to other white Republicans, they had a low regard for immigrants and blacks long before Barack Obama was president, and they still do."
You go to a "Radiohead" concert and it's 95% White.
Difference is that the fans at the Radiohead concert don't carry signs about a Black man enslaving the White race.

Anybody can write BS and so many of you will fall over yourselves when it is something you believe, even if it is purer and utter BS. But, please go ahead and continue showing us how you can't and don't think for yourself. It is amusing, to say the least.
So basically they are ultra-conservative Republicans. The question is, no one cared about them when they called themselves Republican, why should we care now that they're the Tea Party?
More liberal think tank propoganda.But then they also think that Bush is evil;wall street is evil;the rich are evil;business is evil and Obama failed policies are republicans fault.Heck ;go back and you see democratic leaders like Kerry saying out trops are rapist and muders in congresional testimony and that violence ;burning and lootig is justidied to meet the ends.

Many of those signs were carried by admitted Democrats
