Ignorance Abounds
Apparently 24% of all Republicans think Barack Obama is the antichrist. No big deal. This Harris poll goes on to report that even more think he is worse than Hitler. A stunning 57% believe he is a Muslim.
My favorite part by far is when looking at the answers by pollee’s education. Not sure what is more disturbing, the large amount of ignorance by those without education or that there is a stunning amount of ignorance still held by those with higher-education. Below are the differences between those with no college education and those with post-graduate education:
• He is a socialist (45% and 20%)
• He wants to take away Americans’ right to own guns (45% and 19%)
• He is a Muslim (43% and 9%)
• He was not born in the United States so is not eligible to be president (32% and 7%)
• He is a racist (28% and 9%)
• He is anti-American (27% and 9%)
• He is doing many of the things Hitler did (24% and 10%).
