UW poll: Tea Partiers not as concerned with civil liberties

Two-thirds of supporters of the conservative Tea Party movement believe the government should be able to tap people's phone conversations and profile people based on race or religion, according to a new poll from the University of Washington.

"Our survey suggests that among tea partiers, there's less dedication to certain civil liberties," Christopher S. Parker, a UW assistant professor of political science who leads the 2010 Multi-State Survey of Race & Politics, said in a statement.

The survey of more than 1,000 people took place in seven states, UW said. Six of them - Georgia, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, North Carolina and Ohio - were battleground states in the 2008 presidential election. The seventh, California, was included to represent the West Coast, the school said in a news release. The telephone poll was taken Feb. 8-15. The margin of error was 3.1 percent.

I agree, they should, who the fuck cares.

[Smurf-Herder]

Yeah, that sounds like a suspect group.

The University of Washington's Institute for the Study of Ethnicity, Race and Sexuality, going by the acronym WISER.

"WISER was founded in 2005 by Dr. Matt Barreto and Dr. Gary Segura, while both were faculty members at the University of Washington. The program started with only political science faculty, including Dr. Chris Parker, Dr. Jack Turner, and Dr. Naomi Murakawa, and one graduate student, Francisco Pedraza. It has since grown to over 20 affiliated faculty members in fields ranging from Public health to Social work to Education. There are now five graduate student fellows under WISER with many more affiliated students across the University of Washington.

Over the years, WISER has hosted a variety of talks and conferences, from the most recent talk by Neil Roberts on Kant and Respect, to more formal conferences like the PRIEC held in September 2009 or the Latino policy conference from 2008."

Why would an a organization that claims to want smaller government support larger government out of fear?

Who are those 1,000 people and how did they pick them?

If you're going to question this polling and its results, then you should question every poll. I haven't seen you do that; Ask who the people were whom were polled. Especially not on any poll that supports your positions.

I think the tea baggers have already proved this poll correct. As there are no tea bagger protests over the UnConstituionality of the Arizona bill 1070.

I guess only white people's rights matter to the tea baggers?

[GetAClue]

The Tea Party protests were specifically aimed at Spending and Taxes. I am sure that individual Tea Partiers have differing views on civil liberties. Does that mean that they are opposed to them? Of course not. It is just yet another sweeping generalization of a group in an attempt to cast them in a negative light.

What are they going to do next, poll them on who they want to win the next Super Bowl so that they can show that they are not all on the same page?

How is it unconstitutional to deport people that are breaking our immigration laws?

Yet they, like the Republican't and Dumbocrats, have - by action of association with a political group and/or party - sweepingly generalized themselves.
Can't have it both ways. You belong to a group, you are held to that group's actions, words, and deeds.

Makes being Independent sound better all the time, doesn't it?

[PursuitOfHappinessParty]

How is it unconstitutional to deport people that are breaking our immigration laws?

Because it profiles racially and since America is racially diverse using race as a reason for the original police action is therefore unconstitutional. Unless everyone who even looks hispanic actually IS breaking our immigration laws.

This is a stupid, attention-whore grabbing stunt by this idiot.

And I'm a strong supporter of immigration laws! But right is right, wrong is wrong.

So because I happen to agree with the premise of the tea party, you may then project some fringe kook beliefs on me? I don't think so.

Ideally, you shouldn't be.
However, in the really real world you will be.

This board is a great example. Since the majority of this board is ultra-right just sample any thread and watch the Lib gernalizations. Goto a predominantly Lib board and see the same applied to the Conservatives.

or

Join the NRA and you're a six-shootin' gun-lubber lookin' to kill somebody.

or

Join the Mormon faith and you're a bigamist.

It is what it is.

LOL. The Seattle PI is a rag. They are so bad they had to quit printing and post their "newspaper" online. The "poll" was conducted by an assistant university professor. That does not make it a reputable poll. Desparate, aren't you!

That's why I'm asking how they picked these people - considering it doesn't mean they represent the millions around the country. And from what I saw of the site, WISER seems to have a social agenda; and very few members.
