3 in 10 Californians identify with Tea Party protests

According to a new poll (PDF) from Field Research Corp., 28% of Californians identify with the Tea Party protests "some" or "a lot." Among Republicans, that rises to 56%. Unaffiliated voters identify with it 34%. Even 11% of Democrats identify with it "some" or "a lot." The numbers among Democrats might be larger except that only 56% of Democrats "have heard" of the tea parties. An amazing 46% of Democrats are not aware of the tea parties: they must be the ones who get their news from the "mainstream media."

Valiant Fight Against an Imaginary Foe

Marie Coyle, the Feminist Outreach Coordinator of "One in Four: American Women United Against Eating Disorders," takes a stand:

I am, and will continue to be, aggressively and unapologetically anti-eating disorders. I am definitely trying to attack this problem. I want to be supportive of those who are suffering, but I refuse to say that I am anything but opposed to their sickness. I am not in any way blaming people who have eating disorders; this is absurd. When I say I am furious about eating disorders, I mean that I am furious at their existence, not at the people whose lives are being ruined by them. I have nothing but sympathy and compassion for the hundreds of people on this campus that are suffering. I want to do everything I can to improve their lives. I really cannot stress enough the distinction between being against eating disorders and being against people who have eating disorders.

She never gets around to mentioning who the people are who are supposedly "pro" eating disorder or whether they really did ask her to apologize. In this way, she is similar to "anti-war" activists who imagine that their opponents are "pro-war."
