Nice job. I do tend to think that most of the teabaggers don't consider themselves to be racist, but it's no accident that you only see white people there, and none of them seemed to be particularly worried about Bush's deficit or parliamentary tactics to steamroll the Senate or the way he weakened the Constitution. And they might not think they're homophobic but they sure do all seem to be Christian and, worse, they seem to think that America should be Christian too, and most people who turn their trucks into rolling shrines for Jesus aren't particularly in favor of gay marriage. They have limited understanding of the issues at best (I love the "Government, keep your hands off my Medicare" signs) and they toy with fantasies of secession and civil war. I'm sure that most of them are not as bad as their rabid fringe, but they're still a pretty rabid fringe.
