I'm sure they are all excellent people. I heard they are getting some heating for their cave.

Oooooo.... here comes the rapture.

[poquas]

It’s really sad when such a significant number of even the “highly educated” in the US are so incredibly ignorant and blatantly stupid. They should be forced to wear helmets!

[commanderkai]

Ahh polls, still as full of bullshit as ever. Slow news day?

[N_Fiddledog]

Harris Polls...aren't they the guys who give rewards to people who do their polls online?

Aren't you pretty much guaranteed of getting a kind of wingnut prone individual when you do that?

I hear Lou was pretty good back in the days he used to run Harris Polls, but didn't he sell out?

[Lemmy]

Pretty flimsy methodology. It's likely correct in its conclusions, but there's a lot of statistical weaknesses.

[N_Fiddledog]

I'd like to see the same focus group polled for 911 truth, and UFOs, along with political affiliation.

Not much denying the level of ignorance of your average American Republican though. They are about down there with your typical Haitian Voodoo believer or a African animist.

Awesome. In other words, people who disagree with me politically are stupid.

Dude, c'mon. Thinking a President, who's been targetted by a campaing of vitriol and hatred unprecedented in American politics, is the anti-Christ isn't a a political stance. It's not even the comical level of stupidity displayed by the conspiracy tin-hatters. It's dementia and fullblown insanity.

You're way better and much smarter as a person to be defending this sort of unhinged crap.

Unprecedented ?


hmm, dont know about that, I seem to remember reading lots of good stuff about Bush.

Tit for tat.


Its not really doing the US much good,
but I think its not possible to portray anyone like a Kennedy anymore.


But.. what if the 'wingnuts' are right

Those who think he is the anti-Christ should be happy. Doesn't this mean they will be raptured out of here any moment as the shit hits the fan? Shouldn't the rest of us be preparing to dodge all those driverless cars?

Monotheistic religion makes no sense. The idea, as I understand it, is to follow the rules so that when you leave this vale of tears you get to live in eternal bliss. Shouldn't followers of those religions do everything permissible to shorten their, and he people they care about, lifespans as much as possible, celebrate every time one of them goes to meet their maker? I know suicide is out, except the muzzies seem to have found a way around that. Gluttony is out, but smoking and drinking seems to be OK, no? Christians should really try to do as much of that as possible. Don't wear seatbelts of coures - I see no words from JC about that. J-walking, leading the light a bit etc. Whatever else you can think of to hurry things along - that would be my strategy if I believed the dogma. I mean, getting a blow job from Megan Fox while snorting some good quality coke probably has nothing on what awaits you in heaven. Plus at some point Megan will get old, the effects of coke lose their appeal. Bliss in heaven is forever baby - go for it.

ACtually, if you look at the breakdown of groups, it's the college educated who are least likely to belive such stupid shit. In that case, I refer you to my second sig line.

Not even close in any comparison of emotional intensity. And genuine leftwing bullshittery is isolated in a very few small enclaves of American society, such as university campuses. Right wing insanity, on the contrary, is far more widespread and can be easily used to quickly rouse millions of all sorts of kooks. Bush wasn't universally reviled until the Iraq war went monumentally bad. Obama's been subjected to scurrilous hatred since before the inauguration.

And the wingnuts aren't 'right', ever. Hysteria-manipulators never are and they never will be. Each and every tin-hatted one of them is in a bizzaro universe of their own where normal human decency and principles are astonishingly absent.
