57% of the republicans believe President Obama is a Muslim. 29% of all Americans believe President


Obama is a Muslim. 1 in 5 Americans believe President Obama isn't an American Citizen

People regurgitate the same old bullshit that the media has been spewing whether there is validity or not. When they push the talking point how "unpopular" Hillary is, they are just spewing the same garbage they have been doing to Hillary for decades.

Is there any surprise the poll numbers reflect what they do?

"When did you stop beating your wife"

The public is like pavlov's dog, repeating whatever is fed them whether it has validity or not.

The best example of this in U.S. history was the Joe McCarthy period

For the past eight years the media has done very little to correct the record, and not unlike the swift-boating of John Kerry, pushes the distortions and falsehoods from such groups as Judicial Watch.

KLayman is suing Hillary for wrong death in regard to Benghazi

Layman is suing President Obama for endangering His Life as a white male.

Instead, they say it like this: "Barack Hussein Obamma is a Moooslim."

They're an enlightened bunch, that's for sure.

I posted some strong anti-Trump sentiments on my FB page recently and learned soon thereafter that a number of my work-based FB friends are yuuuge fans of that asshole, so there was some awkwardness.

Worth it, though. I find that the Republican worldview seems to flourish when people don't challenge it, because it gives them the impression that everyone agrees with their bigoted idiocy.

No question. And it hasn't gotten better in a long time.

Remember Cenk of TYT screaming about the media's failure to provide any information about Saddam Hussein re: 9/11?



Almost a decade ago, and it's getting worse and worse.
