The University of Washington performed a survey of the tea partiers about their beliefs relating to race. It was conducted in seven states; Georgia, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, and California. Overall, yeah, the teabaggers are more racist than the average American and much more racist than those who oppose the movement.
Naturally, this pisses them off.
QuoteSome Tea Partiers blame the media for casting them as racists. "It really makes me mad," says Tom Fitzhugh, a Tea party activist in Tampa. "They have tried to portray us as a bunch of radical extremists." He considers Obama an abomination—possibly "the most radical-voting senator that ever was" and someone likely to "take us down the path of destruction." He believes the administration is intent on taking away his guns, trampling on states' rights, and opening the borders with Canada and Mexico. He has serious doubts that Obama was born in the U.S. and suspects that the president is a closet Muslim.

Poor kid.
Look closer. That kid would EAT you if she could.
I've edited my original comment out because it was just plain distasteful.
Sorry, Dok.
