Obama is the Antichrist...

[shadow]

At least he is according to 24% of Republicans. 40% believe he's a Muslim who want the terrorists to win.

The majority of Republicans believe he's
- done many things that are unconstitutional
- is a racist
- is a Socialist
- wants to turn over the sovereignty of the U.S. to one world government
- wants to take away Americans' right to own guns (even though, to my knowledge, he's never proposed any new gun legislation).

This is a little scary:

Quarter of Republicans Think Obama May Be the Anti-Christ

livescience.com – Thu Mar 25, 1:07 pm ET
Americans have some extreme views of President Obama, with a new controversial survey suggesting that 40 percent of adults believe he is a socialist, and about a quarter of survey participants thinking the president is a racist, anti-American and even doing things Hitler did.


The whammy: 14 percent of Americans say President Barack Obama may be the Antichrist. When split by political party, 24 percent of Republicans and 6 percent of Democrats viewed the nation's leader in this way.


The results come from an online Harris Poll involving 2,320 adults who were surveyed online between March 1 and March 8 by Harris Interactive, a market research firm. Respondents were read each of 15 statements and asked whether they thought they were true or false. The sample of people was selected from among roughly 4 million people who agreed to participate in Harris Interactive surveys and are given "modest incentives," according to Harris. The results were then weighted to reflect the composition of the U.S. adult population. [Infographic Compares Views]


The accuracy of the poll has been questioned widely in the blogosphere. Polls are never free from error, with sampling bias and question types leading to flaws. Online polls, in particular, raise questions about bias.


"The thing about sampling is no sample avoids bias," said Humphrey Taylor, chairman of the Harris Poll, Harris Interactive. "The question is can you identify and correct for the biases that are in there. We have a sizable team that does that and nothing else."


Here's the percentage breakdown of respondents' views of President Obama:

38 percent say he wants to take away Americans' right to own guns.
32 percent say he is a Muslim.
29 percent think he wants to turn over the sovereignty of the United States to a one world government.
29 percent think he has done many things that are unconstitutional.
27 percent say he resents America's heritage.
27 percent say he does what Wall Street and the bankers tell him to do.
25 percent say he was not born in the United States and so is not eligible to be president.
25 percent say he is a domestic enemy that the U.S. Constitutions speaks of.
23 percent say he is a racist.
23 percent say he is anti-American.
23 percent say he wants to use an economic collapse or terrorist attack as an excuse to take dictatorial powers.
20 percent say he is doing many of the things that Hitler did.

When broken out by political party, results showed some stark differences. For instance, the majority of Republicans believed the president is a Muslim and a socialist, while around 40 percent believe he is a racist, someone who resents American heritage and "wants terrorists to win."


Forty percent of Republicans, compared with just 15 percent of Democrats, think Wall Street pulls his strings.


When Harris' Taylor saw the results he told LiveScience he was "flabbergasted. I would've guessed the numbers would've been a lot smaller than that."


He added, "It means that very large numbers of people are misninformed not only about President Obama but many things in modern life."


The findings lend support to, and in fact were done to verify, themes in John Avlon's new book "Wingnuts: How the Lunatic Fringe Is Hijacking America" (Beast Books, 2010).


"This poll should be a wake-up call to all Americans about the real costs of using fear and hate to pump up hyper-partisanship," Avlon said after reviewing the findings. "We are playing with dynamite by demonizing our president and dividing our country in the process. Americans need to remember the perspective that Wingnuts always forget - patriotism is more important than partisanship."


While extreme, there's a chance some respondents weren't even sure what a Muslim is, for instance. Research reported in 2008 suggested Americans have inaccurate views of Muslims: Many think the Islamic religion is associated with violence and religious extremism, and perhaps even terrorism. In addition, seven in 10 Americans in that study admitted they know very little about the Islamic religion

Come on, like we wouldn't have relished the opportunity to call Dubya the Antichrist? I'll give them a pass on that, but the rest of those things just show how fucking dumb the average GOP voter is.

No he isn't... Reagan was confirmed by many as the antichrist in the mid 80's..

Dude, are you really this stupid? I hated Bush, but I used to face palm myself when my friends and relatives used to talk about how he was going to use the wars and 9/11 to claim himself dictator--I just don't see it happening.

Dude, are you really this stupid?

Of course. You can't argue with the evidence. The Antichrist? Aren't the Dark Ages over?

I like how Your Mama uses "TBD" when he's too afraid to say "true" because it will make him look even dumber than he already is.

If he could be dumber than he already is, I weep for the conservatives.
















































Who am I kidding? Keep on being stupid, conservatives!

[dtmfs]

I always crack up at this poll, they did it months ago and got the same answers. Does anyone actually believe the ridiculous answers to the ridiculous questions like "is obama the antichrist"? were what the people actually believed?

Sorry but if someone asked me to fill out a poll with stupid questions they're getting stupid answers just to fuck with them.

Jesus why not throw in one like "Do you believe nancy pelosi is in reality the chupacabra??

[MasterOfMeatPuppets]

I

Jesus why not throw in one like "Do you believe nancy pelosi is in reality the chupacabra??

I would believe that.

[chickenona]

They'd get a yes from me just for the fuck of it, if people really do believe some of that shit....yeah that's pretty scary.

[dtmfs]

the jury is still out?? dude you need to get some fresh fucking air.

[tin00can]

I like how Your Mama uses "TBD" when he's too afraid to say "true" because it will make him look even dumber than he already is.

Or because the jury is still out.

I think my hypothesis is closer to the truth. I'm sticking with it.

[tin00can]

the jury is still out?? dude you need to get some fresh fucking air.

Many believe a government mandate to purchase with threat of penalty is unconstitutional. The jury is still out. Time will tell.

Way to address the least-crazy of your TBDs. That'll convince people.

[tin00can]

So demanding.

Where did I demand anything?

Man, your interpretation skills are lacking. Not that we didn't already know this, but you seem eager to keep on proving it.

I HOPE that the antichrist answer is just bitterness and not actual belief.

But, you seriously believe that a good number of people are just being silly gooses and don't actually believe that Obama is an Anti-American Muslim Socialist who threatens their right to bear arms?

Obviously, you don't read this board.

He means an intelligent answer is too demanding on his meager mental resources.

of course there are republican morons who don't agree with obama's politics and call him a socialist, and the racist ones think he's muslim etc etc, but the antichrist? 99% of the people who answer that one are just fucking with em'. I don't believe that many people think he's anti-american either, at least i hope not, just alot of bitter hot air.

[Hames Jetfield]

Looked into this "antichrist" thing and interestingly enough Nostradamus predicted his name to be "Mabus". Ironically Ray Mabus is currently the secretary of the Navy.

Dude, stop before you drown yourself in teh stupid!

[shadow]

I don't believe that many people think he's anti-american either, at least i hope not, just alot of bitter hot air.

He may not be anti-American but pictures like these don't help the cause:

Yes, nothing says anti-American like literacy.

[Supersonic]

He may not be anti-American but pictures like these don't help the cause:

You do know that book is not about any decline of American power? Anti-American? Not in the slightest.

[dtmfs]

Very strong evidence, I didn't put my hand over my heart the last time I heard the national anthem either, nor have I ever worn a flag pin, so of course that makes me anti-american, I'm starting to believe all your bullshit is just an act.

You must have been a slave in a past life because you seem to love being owned.

[tin00can]

All worked up over nothing. As usual.

He may not be anti-American but pictures like these don't help the cause:

Yeah, it surely wasn't your intention to paint him as anti-american, was it?

[MasterOfMeatPuppets]

Nice passive-aggressive response. As usual.

[Hames Jetfield]

Yeah, it surely wasn't your intention to paint him as anti-american, was it?

You know, actually I do believe he is anti-American. Hell, he goes around the world apologizing for America. So I guess I do mean to paint him that way since he is and has shown himself to be such. Unfortunate for an American President to dislike the country he represents as much as he does and want to transform it into his idea of what it should be.

Isn't that what every president tries to do? They run on a platform of ideas and policies (to change America) and they get elected, at least partially, due to said policies.

[Hames Jetfield]

This President wants to transform America. And he's doing it. There is a difference.

Well I think it could be argued that many presidents have transformed America--Reagan and Bush II of the top o' my head in modern times. And shit what about Lincoln or Theodore Roosevelt? Both transformed America. So this scary transformation you're talking about isn't really that rare, at least in my opinion.

[tin00can]

Whether it's new or not we don't want it.

We?

[dtmfs]

Hames jetfield nailed it, can't debate his point.

Jesus Yourmamma, You're one of those biased cocksuckers who only sees shit one way, the way you want it. Obama could pull a busload of drowning kids from a submurged bus and you'd gripe that it took him too long and he neglected to save the driver. I imagine You were one of the many conservatives during the Bush years who bitched about the leftists critisizing him because Americans "just shouldn't do that", Now Here you are doing the same thing, only what you're doing is actually dumb as fuck, Because Obama hasn't fucked up like Bush did, He's got a lot of fucking up to do to even begin to approach W's level, and I highly doubt he'll get there, take his advice and look around, the sky's not fucking falling, You sound like You're a couple glenn beck rants away from joining a militia like the one that got busted earlier today.

[dtmfs]

Except for the fact that the American people disagree. What took Bush 6-7 years to accomplish Obama has done in just one regarding peoples confidence in his job performance.

No, some Americans disagree, and alot of them will disagree with him no matter what he does, You do realize this right?
