<Asked, "Who do you think the terrorists would prefer to have as president," the independent poll found that 60 percent said Kerry while 25 percent said Bush.>


Note: this article is from a conservative newspaper

1. They're polling the stupid people again

The same people who think Saddam attack us on 9/11.

12. Hey! Don't call Rummy stupid, he probably has a PhD in something...

Of course that something is probably making up connections that aren't based on any factual evidence whatsoever.

2. Look at the source.

I thought the rules still said that when you post an article from a repug-nant source, you have to comment on it.

3. Washington Times owned by Rev. Sun Yung Moon

Dubious source at best.

[MetaTrope]

4. They should poll the readers for their opinion of the Moonies

:evilgrin:

5. Notice the none to subtle framing of the question

What is your opinion of another person's opinion on a subject of which you are most likely ignorant.


Yeah that is some objective polling if I ever saw it. Oh well whatever sells right?

6. Not afraid of the terrorists, it's all the terrorists Bush has

created since 911 that I am afraid of. I am actually quite encouraged that only 60% said Kerry since the readers of the Washington Times, (The Rev Moon) are the most Freeped out in the country. It's like WOW, only 60%. Thats great, it shows that some of those brain washed fools actually have a brain. the 25% and the other 15% undecided. Terrorists, they should be afraid of Kerry, because the planet, unlike with Bush, will be more than willing to root out terrorism with a REAL President in power.

7. Anyone poll pedophile preferences yet?

How about Satan? Who does Satan want to see in the White House?

What a fucking stupid poll question...

8. True

But it shows how ignorant the masses are on this critical issue.

9. Naw, it's Repub push polling...

From the same old shitty Washington Times:
"...according to a February survey by Andres McKenna Polling and Research, a Republican strategy firm in Washington."

A Google search turns up lots of good stuff about these clowns. Or for a quick takedown, Billmon at Whiskey Bar has a pretty interesting post.

10. Right. Well they are trying to get ahead of the curve and form opinion

now that AQ has apparently taken aim at Spain. I wonder what avenue Kerry will take.

11. Thanks for shedding light on that

:toast:

14. Sez our intrepid pollster

about Ted Kennedy's characterizing Bush's war as "a fraud" last October:

"He should be arrested and tried for treason," said Republican pollster Michael McKenna.

13. Please edit your thread title to reflect the dubious source

I hate seeing propaganda headlines copied to DU. This is Moonie disinformation that we should not be promoting without caveats. Sort of like Cheney and Tenet and the WMDs.

15. Maybe they'll poll the ghosts of the Visigoths next
