24% of Republicans think “Obama is the Antichrist”
57 percent of Republicans (32 percent overall) believe that Obama is a Muslim 45 percent of Republicans (25 percent overall) agree with the Birthers in their belief that Obama was “not born in the United States and so is not eligible to be president” 38 percent of Republicans (20 percent overall) say that Obama is “doing many of the things that Hitler did” Scariest of all, 24 percent of Republicans (14 percent overall) say that Obama “may be the Antichrist.”
These numbers all come from a brand-new Louis Harris poll. It demonstrates the cost of the campaign of fear and hate that has been pumped up in the service of hyper-partisanship over the past 15 months. We are playing with dynamite by demonizing our president and dividing the United States in the process. What might be good for ratings is bad for the country.
The poll, which surveyed 2,230 people right at the height of the health-care reform debate, also clearly shows that education is a barrier to extremism. Respondents without a college education are vastly more likely to believe such claims, while Americans with college degrees or better are less easily duped. It’s a reminder of what the 19th-century educator Horace Mann once too-loftily said: “Ignorance breeds monsters to fill up the vacancies of the soul that are unoccupied by the verities of knowledge.”
AOL News recently noted,
Members of the church, most of them relatives of founder Fred Phelps, have shown up at dozens of military memorial services in recent years, bearing signs with slogans like “God Hates the USA” and “Thank God for Dead Soldiers.”
The tiny sect holds that soldiers’ deaths are God’s way of punishing America for its tolerance of homosexuals. The church’s Web site also refers to President Barack Obama as the “Antichrist Bloody Beast” and calls Israel a “savage hypocritical nation of filthy sinners.” - Source

השבוע סיימתי שיפוץ קוסמטי בדירתי שבו בצעיתי התקנת רצפה וצביעת קירות ותיקרות , היום המשרד הוא כמו טוב אם לא הרצפת קרמיקה שיש עליה סימנים מלוכלכת , באופן כללי הדירה לא נקי . בחרתי שאצור קשר עם חברת ניקיון משרדים שתבאי את הפועלים שלה שיעשו פוליש ווקס במשרד .
I would have to say, well stated.
Superb blog……
