This isn’t the same thing at all. Believing that Bush knew the attcks were coming is not the same as believing he was IN on them. In point of fact, it’s indisputable that he knew Osama bin Laden was going to attack America. The only question is how specific that knowledge was. This is a nice try, but it’s not on point and not what was asked for. Try again.
That is brilliant.
Can you actually show how the methodology was flawed? You’re remarking on superfical aspects that don’t discredit the poll in and of themselves?
All Harris polls used an incentive system, and they turn out the same results as Gallup et al for the most part.
Damn, I thought that one would actually keep the “Stalin” in there.
You know, to take Chessic Sense’s point, the pollsters should include a few bat-shit crazy level type questions, just to see what Pubbies will respond “Hell, yes” to. Loopy questions like “Do you think the Obama family has cloven hooves?” or “Do you think the President pees turquoise?” so we can establish a baseline for batshit-insanity.
Or do you suppose maybe they did that with the Anti-Christ question, and that answer is the batshit-insane baseline?
That’s not remotely comparable. Saying Bush “knew about 9/11 in advance” (actually, the question wasn’t asked quite so directly, IIRC) is not remotely comparable to:
55% Obama has done many things that are unconstitutional.
51% Obama wants to turn the U.S. over to a one-world government.
45% Obama was not born in the U.S. and is not eligible to be president.
47% Obama resents America’s heritage.
45% Obama is a “domestic enemy” as spoken of in the Constitution.
42% Obama is a racist.
41% Obama is Anti-American.
41% Obama wants to use the economic collapse as an excuse to grab dictatorial powers.
Batshit. Crazy.
Link.
Also, there were reasonable warnings to which W. Bush could have paid heed, before 9/11, which he seems to have ignored but it is reasonable to assume he did hear about them at some point. The original question if I recall (Google fu is failing me right now) could plausibly include that scenario.
Speaking of that poll, it’s funny that among Democrats, where there are supposedly some real socialists, only 14% say Obama is socialist.
I’m surprised no one has commented on the 68% “Yes” responses to the question, “Has Obama ever kicked your dog?”
Just because he was shown a report with the information in it doesn’t mean he knew it. This is W and and you have to make allowances.
Why? I know incredibly few Democrats who would self-identify as socialists. And any socialists I do know don’t think Obama is one.
If Obama really is the anti-Christ that means August 4 (his birthday) is anti-Christmas and there’s only 4 more months to shop.
So do you give gifts on Anti-Christmas? Or force the rich to redistribute gifts or what?
Hey!
I can hardly wait until the 2011 clock ticks out and the true psychotics put on their tinfoil hats and wait for Armageddon to strike, Obama to sprout horns and a tail, and the rapture to occur all at once. I’ll lay in an extra box of .12 ga slugs just in case the crazies take to the streets. Or maybe just sit on the porch and enjoy the show.
See, that’s the funny part of that whole thing. The nutters will go stock up on ammo and the sane will…go stock up on ammo. How will I know friend from foe?
That’s the point.
The right: “Obama is a socialist!”
The left: “Socialist? I know socialists! I am a socialist! And Obama is no socialist!”
“Let God sort 'em out.” – Arnaud Amalric, sort of.
People are asking the question. Come on, Mr. Obama, if you really aren’t the Antichrist, all you have to do is shave your head and show that you don’t have the 666 Mark of the Devil. Me, I’m just asking questions, echoing what a lot of Americans are already concerned about. I hope that the man who is responsible for safeguarding American citizens isn’t the Antichrist, which is why I so desperately want him to prove it to us.
But… Mr. Obama chooses not to. Which kind of makes you wonder…
Man, this is shit is really easy.
I’m sorry. I see what you mean now. I’m not feeling very bright today…
Dude,
Thats kinda the most important part of the whole thing.
