Public Policy Polling Reveals GOP Nuts

While the RS2000 flaps continues, with cease and desist orders going out to Markos Malitos and Nate Silver at www.fivethirtyeight.com over their claims about fraud in the polling organization, we should not take this to imply their Rs2000 poll of Republicans was also an anomaly.

Yesterday Public Policy Polling reiterates their findings about Republicans. In September PPP found only 37% of Republicans believed Barack Obama was born in the United States whle 42% think he was not and 22% were unsure.

In November PPP found that 52% of Republicans though ACORN stole the 2008 Presidential election while 27% thought he legitimately won it and 21% were unsure. These figures were actually higher than the RS2000 findings.

In December PPP found 35% of Republicans thought Barack Obama should be impeached while 48% thought he should not be and 17% were unsure

Now John Avalon's book Wingnuts inspired a Harris poll to measure some of the extremes in our political landscape.

Here's a short list of the findings:
67% of Republicans believe Obama is a socialist
57% of Republicans believe Obama is a Muslim
45% of Republicans believe Obama was not born in the United States and is not eligible to be President
38% of Republicans say that Obama is "doing many of the things that Hitler did"
24% of Republicans (14% of all Americans) say that Obama "may be the Antichrist"

For the historical record, the antichrist was Nero, whose name using the ancient practice of gematria adds up to 666. There are the other signs of the antichrist that are linked to Nero, who committed suicide in 68AD and was thought to be resurrected and coming back with an army from Persia. It's actually an interesting story.
