Please take a guess at the average age of Teabaggers.

[Union Yes]

To me, the average age of the TB'er sure looks like a much more 'aged' movement.

Please take a guess at their average age.

1. Are you going to let us know the real average?

[Jamastiene]

2. According to one poll I found,

30 to 49 makes up 34%...

It's about halfway down the page:

3. I'd have said about 7 years old

they're so fucking childish.

[zbdent]

5. they're not talking mental age ...

and that would be 3 ... when they're NOT throwing a tantrum ...

4. Able to get gubmint retirement and gubmint health-insurance for life.

And five will get you ten most of them are completely clueless about the "gubmint" part.

6. why are people saying 60s? My brother is 44, he is a teabagger

30-49 makes more sense to me.

altho, yes, I see a lot of older people there.

not one 60 yr old I know in my town is a teabagger. but, than, I hang out with good people.

Im almost 60 and I am farther left than Obama in every way.

7. Because of things like this?

But the average age of people at this convention is easily above 50 years old and for many, using a computer is still a challenge.

At a session called "How to Unite State Tea Party Groups", the speaker slowly and deliberately guided the audience through a basic web search.

"In the space at the top of the computer, type in w-w-w-g-o-o-g-l-e dot c-o-m. That website will help you find what tea party groups near you. Then type, Florida Tea Party, then hit the Enter button on your keyboard."

It was a slow, painstaking process. He had to repeat himself many times, as some could not keep up; others simply couldn't hear him because their hearing aids were too low.

According to a study released by Magna Global's Steve Sternberg, the five broadcast nets' average live median age (in other words, not including delayed DVR viewing) was 50 last season. That's the oldest ever since Sternberg started analyzing median age more than a decade ago -- and the first time the nets' median age was outside of the vaunted 18-49 demo.
...
Among ad-supported cable nets, the news nets (along with older-skewing Hallmark Channel, Golf Channel and GSN's daytime sked) sport the most gray, with Fox News Channel's daytime and primetime skeds the absolute oldest, clocking in with a median age above 65.
