Only 33% believe ‘harsh political tone’ had anything to do with Arizona shooting

[thundley4]

Most Americans, 57 percent, believe the tragic shooting in Arizona isn’t connected to politics. That’s the result of a new CBS News poll which found only 32 percent of respondents aid the harsh political tone had something to do with the shooting.

The poll of course found a partisan divide:

Republicans — 69 percent said rhetoric was not to blame; 19 percent said it played a part.
Democrats — 49 percent saw no connection; 42 percent said there was.
Independents — 56 percent said rhetoric had nothing to do with the attack; 33 percent felt it did.
The left-wing hate machine’s efforts to blame the shooting on the right has failed to persuade Americans, who continue to show they are smarter than many political activists give them credit for being.

Now that it is clear there is no political advantage to be gained in the political blame game, perhaps Barack Obama can apologize for his extreme rhetoric as he picks up the mantle of “consoler in chief.”

I'm glad to see that most Americans aren't fooled by the lefts heated rhetoric.

This despite 1--the incredible number of mind-numbed sheep in America, 2--the fact the MSM has been hammering this for a fourth day.

Roughly equal to the Democrat base plus the people who think whatever the MSM tells them to think, though the two overlap a lot.

We now know that DUmmies and DUmmy type people comprise 33% of the population.

1 in 3 of the people surveyed are frickin imbeciles.

Apologies to imbeciles everywhere.
