Opinion: Scary new GOP poll
NEW YORK – On the heels of health care, a new Harris poll reveals Republican attitudes about Obama: Two-thirds think he's a socialist, 57 percent a Muslim—and 24 percent say "he may be the Antichrist."
To anyone who thinks the end of the health-care vote means a return to civility, wake up.
Obama Derangement Syndrome—pathological hatred of the president posing as patriotism—has infected the Republican Party. Here's new data to prove it:
67 percent of Republicans (and 40 percent of Americans overall) believe that Obama is a socialist.
The belief that Obama is a “domestic enemy†is widely held—a sign of trouble yet to come.
57 percent of Republicans (32 percent overall) believe that Obama is a Muslim 45 percent of Republicans (25 percent overall) agree with the Birthers in their belief that Obama was "not born in the United States and so is not eligible to be president" 38 percent of Republicans (20 percent overall) say that Obama is "doing many of the things that Hitler did" Scariest of all, 24 percent of Republicans (14 percent overall) say that Obama "may be the Antichrist." These numbers all come from a brand-new Harris poll, inspired in part by my new book Wingnuts. It demonstrates the cost of the campaign of fear and hate that has been pumped up in the service of hyper-partisanship over the past 15 months. We are playing with dynamite by demonizing our president and dividing the United States in the process. What might be good for ratings is bad for the country.

Al Sharpton said Sunday night in an interview that when America voted for O'bama they voted for socialism. He didn't mince words so why should the republicans?

Obama is not THE Antichrist. His popularity is far, far too low.

Indeed. His favorablity ratings ( as well as congresses) are polling down around where favorability ratings for things like jock itch and anal cysts poll.

After a year of watching the Dems shit all over the Constitution and then wipe their asses with the Declaration of Independence, only a total retard or a Democratic PR flack would have even entertained that thought.

I always thought lawyers strove to avoid redundancy in their speech patterns, sir... :-)

Oh, indeed, but the difference is that retards are simple, honest souls without ill will, but with a sad lack of mental capacity, and thus incapable of understanding and distinguishing truth and falsehood. Democrat PR flacks on the other hand are otherwise well-informed, even rational in an evil way, but such pathological liars that they even believe their own astounding whoppers.

As Cindie said (and I have in my sig line), Obama can't be the Antichrist. The Antichrist wouldn't be such an incompetent boob. And to those of you who thought that his getting the health care deform passes is proof that he's not incompetent--if he wasn't, this would have been done last September. Now, the American public is thoroughly pissed off, and counting the days unti Election Day in November.
'Course, he could decide to cancel the elections. Then, the shit hits the fan.

From Redstate:
Yes, the Obama-Antichrist poll was that bad

Gary Langer at ABC has more details on that bad poll by Harris.
It’s worse than I thought.
First off, the methodology is terrible. This was not a scientific poll at all. Harris Interactive did not select people from a random pool. Rather, this poll was answered by people who were clicking answers to questions in order to get free stuff. There’s no basis for this poll meaning anything, therefore.
Second, the poll wording and structure follows the pattern of a push poll. Readers were prompted that people believed certain negative statements about the President, and were given a list of those statements to agree or disagree with.
This is the kind of trick that campaigns use to make negative attacks on a candidate without making it an ad traceable back to the campaign. You read a bunch of negative things about a person, give those things credibility, and plant the seed in people’s minds.
It works sometimes, too, though in this case it’s clear to me the idea was to get a bad result to attempt to discredit the poll takers, rather than the President. But it’s not a fair assessment because they were prompted. I agree with Langer who says:
Harris indeed goes the next step by reporting its results as what its respondents’ “believe†and as opinions they “hold,†as if they themselves came up with these notions, rather than having them one-sidedly set before them on a platter. Call me what you will – and I know it can get nasty out there – but from my perspective, this is not good polling practice.

Then there is this from the original article:
John Avlon's new book Wingnuts: How the Lunatic Fringe is Hijacking America is available now by Beast Books both on the Web and in paperback.
Avlon is nothing more than a left wing shill for the left wing nut site Daily Beast.
