[the teacher] has said he would seek to embarrass Tea Partiers by attending their rallies dressed as Adolf Hitler, carrying signs bearing racist, sexist and anti-gay epithets, and acting as offensively as possible — anything short of throwing punches. Why is it any business of a state school board what a teacher does in [...] The poll said Tea Partiers were wealthier and better educated than the populace in general. But their poll methods were unreliable. In other words, they basically just polled Republicans. If you look at the actual the survey results and methods, you’ll see that these “Tea Party supporters” are just people who answered affirmatively to the [...] 80,000 US troops “may be called upon to help with civil unrest and crowd control” say Army Times.
