TYT: GOP Faithful Want Obama Impeached, Why? He's Obama, That's Why

[WhoIsNumberNone]

"About one-third of U.S. adults and 68 percent of Republicans agree with Sarah Palin that President Obama deserves impeachment, a new poll found.

The split along partisan lines in the new Huffington Post/YouGov poll was stark. While 68 percent of Republicans said impeachment would be justified, only 8 percent of Democrats agreed and independents were evenly split 37 percent on each side.

Just over one quarter, 26 percent, of respondents who did not describe themselves as Republicans called for impeachment."* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

1. 8% of Democrats? 37% of Indies? I call bs.

Ever watch C-Span call in shows? People who are obviously Republicans call in on the Democratic and Indie lines all the time.

The call usually goes something like this: "I'm a Democrat, but....." and out come purely rw talking points that no Democrat would ever espouse.

3. I've met a lot of "independents" over the years

Usually they're super right wingers who don't want to be shackled to a party label. A lot of Teabaggers call themselves "independent".

[merrily]

5. So do a lot of Democrats, though. The greatest number of registered

voters in Massachusetts are "unenrolled" and Massachusetts almost always votes Democratic.

2. "They" can't stand the fact that President Obama has done such a good job

4. Well, frankly I don't think he's done a very good job

I'll grant that he's had extenuating circumstances, what with the Congress and the Supreme Court, and obviously hasn't done anything that should have anybody talking about impeachment. The fact is these assholes have been talking impeachment in December of 2008. Same as they were with Clinton. This is now the model- Expect immediate impeachment talk from Republicans if a Democrat wins in 2016.

6. Montgomery Burns summed up the Republican position well...

The presidency "is the God-given property of the Republican party."

7. Psst, He is Black!

And it seems like to a lot of folks, We live in Jim Crow #2 America.

8. Cenk nailed it again...

9. "Presidenting while BLACK." That's the crime, according to the racist bigots/Teabagger Republicans!!
