Amazing. despite all the bagger talk about "Socialism" a new NYT/CBS poll shows that 62% of them just love SS and Medicare.

Check out some of the other numbers...proving once and for all the teabaggers are not only racist, but Faux News inspired and partisan..

Quote:
18% of Americans say they are tea party supporters.
66% of tea party supporters say they usually or always vote Republican. (Just 5% vote Democratic.)
73% say they are conservative.
41% believe Barack Obama was born in the United States.
While 65% believe the Obama Administration treats blacks and whites equally, 56% believe it favors poor people over the middle-class and rich.
89% are white and 52% believe too much attention is paid to the problems facing African-Americans.
59% have a favorable view of Glenn Beck compared to 6% who view him unfavorably. (Among all Americans, the numbers are 18% and 17%.)
63% say they get most of their political news from Fox News Channel.
66% have a favorable view of Sarah Palin, compared to 12% who view her unfavorably. (Among all Americans, the numbers are 30% and 45%.)
24% believe citizens can be justified in taking violent action against the government.
52% believe the federal income taxes they pay are fair.
84% of the tea partiers believe their views reflect those of most Americans, but only 25% of all Americans agree (remember: 18% are tea partiers).

Default Teabagger channel (Faux News) uses Clarence Thomas to promote event

This guy is a sitting SC justice....it's just not right.

If Thomas had any pride in the position he holds...he wouldn't stand for it..

He absolutely should. Actually, he NEVER should have gotten on the Court at all, given the testimony of Anita Hill!

That's for certain. He wasn't sufficiently qualified anyway..

Rather telling that someone of Thomas's stature would allow this to go on..

Just goes to show that the man has no pride, or shame..

Did he attend the Atlanta Tea Party event? If so, then his picture is fair game.

Can you please clarify your statement here.
This is a supreme court justice; not someone running for office and elected by the people.

what does that mean? seriously. it's not about the photo being used as much as it's about the fact that the SC Justice puts himself in a position to be used!

And what do you mean by "brand Obama is just peachy to be selling to the nation"?
