"Progressive"? What's so "progressive" about promoting a Communist
tyranny?

Oh brother. Your kind, huh? Here's a poll
about your kind.

But what else could be expected from Obama, whose spiritual
mentor gave Louis Farrakhan a lifetime achievement award?

Oh gee! Rev. Jerimiah Wright did?
Just cuz Obama went to church there for 20 years!!???
.....but but but......
But I thought Obama was a Muslim!

New Harris POLL:

Mar 24, 2010
"Wingnuts" and President Obama

A socialist? A Muslim? Anti-American? The Anti-Christ? Large minorities of Americans
hold some "remarkable" opinions

Wingnuts: How the Lunatic Fringe Is Hijacking America.
This Harris Poll seeks to measure how many people are involved.

It finds that Republicans believe that President Obama:
* Is a socialist (67%)
* Wants to take away Americans' right to own guns (61%)
* Is a Muslim (57%)
* Wants to turn over the sovereignty of the United States (51%)
* Has done many things that are unconstitutional (55%).
* Was not born in the United States and so is not eligible to be president (45%)
* Is a "domestic enemy" (45%)


My, what whacko, brainwashed dittohead parrots you guys are.
How did THAT happen!? Easy:
USA Today/Gallup poll -- RUSH LIMBAUGH is the REPUBLICAN'S LEADER !
asked: "Who speaks for the Republican party today?"
LIMBAUGH...In every catigory: Both Republicans, Dems agree.
Dick Cheney is number two. That's right, Limbaugh & Cheney.

BUT WAIT! there's mo

Differences by education

These replies are also strongly correlated with education. The less education
people have had the more likely they are to believe all of these statements.
Consider these differences between those with no college education and those with
post-graduate education:

* He is a socialist (45% and 20%)
* He wants to take away Americans' right to own guns (45% and 19%)
* He is a Muslim (43% and 9%)
* He was not born in the United States so is not eligible to be president (32%
and 7%)
* He is a racist (28% and 9%)
* He is anti-American (27% and 9%)
* He is doing many of the things Hitler did (24% and 10%).

After reviewing these findings, John Avlon comments, "These new numbers are shocking
but not surprising – they detail the extent to which Wingnuts are hijacking our
politics. This poll should be a wake-up call to all Americans about the real costs
of using fear and hate to pump up hyper-partisanship. We are playing with dynamite
by demonizing our president and dividing our country in the process. Americans need
to remember the perspective that Wingnuts always forget – patriotism is more
important than partisanship."

So what?

So what indeed! These responses recall a favorite saying of our founder Lou Harris
that "when you don't want to publish a poll finding you dislike, you should get out
of the business." The very large numbers of people who believe all these things of
President Obama help to explain the size and strength of the Tea Party Movement, a
topic that will be addressed in another Harris Poll in a few days time.
