Majority in unscientific FOXNews.com poll pegs Tea Party movement ‘racist’
Source: RawStory.com

It's modern warfare online poll time again.

While most polls on the internet that are labeled as "unscientific" usually fade into obscurity even before all the votes are tallied, every now and then one becomes a meme.

Thursday morning, a Wonkette blog post titled "Fox News Poll: Yes, We Are Insanely Racist Crazy People" made it onto Digg's recommended list.

The FOXNews.com poll asked, "What Do You Think Tea Party Movement Is About?"

1. How is it 'fruitless?' Their mix of 'racism, conspiracy theories' has totally derailed HCR.
We're an impotent majority.

Mission Accomplished.

4. To be fair, that's probably actually the case this time

6. Not really.
Hacking implies illegal activity. Especially to the low information Fox viewers.
What happened was people they didn't want taking their poll took their poll.
It isn't like we used a back door into the server to alter the results. That would be hacking a poll.
All we did was click a button, they just don't like what we clicked.
