Ron Schiller from NPR was right about xenophobic tea party Republicans.
In particular, Pew finds that the only group to think Islam is more likely than other religions to encourage violence are conservative Repubilcans and Tea Partyers. Both groups overwhelmingly endorse this view, with two thirds of each agreeing with it.
By contrast, not even moderate Republicans as a group believe this: 46 percent support this view, while 47 percent oppose it. This view is also opposed by independents (38-44) and the broader public at large (40-42).
Nope. They're not racist. Not at all. NPR deserves to lose its funding because of, you know, telling the truth.
