“Wingnuts” and President Obama is scary.
"A new book, Wingnuts: How the Lunatic Fringe Is Hijacking America by John Avlon describes the large numbers of Americans who hold extreme views of President Obama. This Harris Poll seeks to measure how many people are involved. It finds that 40% of adults believe he is a socialist. More than 30% think he wants to take away Americans’ right to own guns and that he is a Muslim. More than 25% believe he wants to turn over the sovereignty of the United States to a world government, has done many things that are unconstitutional, that he resents America’s heritage, and that he does what Wall Street tells him to do. More than 20% believe he was not born in the United States, that he is “the domestic enemy the U.S. Constitution speaks of,” that he is racist and anti-American, and that he “wants to use an economic collapse or terrorist attack as an excuse to take dictatorial powers.” Fully 20% think he is “doing many of the things that Hitler did,” while 14% believe “he may be the anti-Christ” and 13% think “he wants the terrorists to win.”

holy fucking dogshit i'm sorry WHICH president are they describing again?
14% believe “he may be the anti-Christ”... which means that at least 14% are idiots... which means that all other numbers must be adjusted according to this. For example, I think it would be safe to imply that out of 40% believing that he is a socialist 14% fell into idiot category - this leaves 26% of others types (more normal then 14% - which means 74% actually do not think he is a socialist. At least, 74% of normal people is not too bad.
