Poll data relating to racism by party

[A Theist]

My guess was it was to try and show that the Republican party is somehow "more racist" than the Democratic party. In reality, both parties have crazies. Republicans have the tea party, and Democrats have the occupy movement. You can spin party intolerance both ways; the Republicans had a black party chairman for a number of years, and the Democrats have fielded Fred Phelps (well known hate-mongerer) for Kansas Governor multiple times, as well as for the US Senate.

Neither party is racist, but due to the fact that quite a few Americans still are, it doesn't surprise me that there are racist / intolerance elements in both.

Definitely looks like they failed to make that connection as the poll results have indicated. Maybe Berkley should attempt another poll that would ask voters how they feel about the current economy, the national unemployment rate of 8.3%, or what their feelings are about the nearly $16 trillion of national debt we have.
