Yes 18%

No 82%

[SF Bay Area Dem]

1. DONE!

[indepat]

2. That 18% who vote yes is very hard-core

[opihimoimoi]

3. Still at 82 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[ClintonTyree]

4. It's quite obvious.......

that Diebold doesn't count MSNBC's votes.

[Wickerman]

5. Wickerman Poll: Is MSRNC Irresponsible to post war critic polls?

YES or YES?

Is MSRNC simply a tool of the Administration when they help propagate the BushCo. myth that anything less than complete abdication of your constitutional right to free speech is in support of terra?

Yes or Yes

[ixion]

6. done, but as a war critic and American

I find the question, in and of itself, offensive. :grr:

18% No
82%

[MADem]

14. Yeah, that IRRESPONSIBLE word is just damn SNARKY n/t

[Kurovski]

27. It's the exact same word plucked from President Doofy Mc Crazymouth.

[MADem]

30. Had they quoted the Monkey, and put the word in quotes, I could live with

the question. But they do that damn "we are the ORACLE" thing with their foolish questions, and they shouldn't. Put the thing in context, in the foolish little box, doggone it!

[Kurovski]

32. I hear 'ya. It's more of the media repeating WH spin. The one

nice thing is they keep putting out these polls even though for weeks now the results are never in support of Shrubby.

[Lowell]

7. Done

Still 82% no. Who the hell are these 18%? It must be a bunch of brain-dead bushzombies.

[Angry Girl]

8. This poll/survey is totally skewed. Shows you what MSNBC really thinks

This question is so badly worded that I would have fired the survey writer on the spot.

First of all, it's a double negative, thinly disguised. Most people would automatically reach for the Yes button unless they thought a moment about it. Since the Yes button is the FIRST button, this also slightly skews the probabilities toward answering Yes.

Second, MSNBC isn't interested in the real truth. If they were they would be actually doing some investigative reporting. Instead they're asking OPINIONS from ordinary citizens, who know next to nothing. If MSNBC wanted a real answer, they would have asked:

Did the Bush Administration manipulate intelligence? Yes/No

But they didn't. They therefore want your opinion on WHAT IS POPULAR! Not the TRUTH but what will bring them readers.

[gratuitous]

9. You hippies!

Don't you know how irresponsible it is to ask why thousands have died and billions have been squandered?

In which bowel of Hell does a question like this even get formulated?

[bullimiami]

10. no but msnbc is.

[BOSSHOG]

11. We are not irresponsible for telling the truth

[Native]

12. Done n/t

[Tarheel_Dem]

13. done............

[stillcool]

15. just when i think i can't get...

..any more pissed at corpwhores!! Such a crock..

[emdee]

16. Done. Still at 82% I emailed them...

and told them that I think that question is what is irresponsible. When we are at war based on lies, that their question is aimed at those who dare to ask a question is ridiculous. What kind of news media do we have?
emdee

[npincus]

17. yeah...

I would say that on the surface the whole premise (and question) is ridiculous. I totally get your point.

But I believe the question as written is just turning around precisely what Chimpy said in his disgusting Veterans Day speech, that critics of the war are "irresponsible"... MSNBC is throwing it back to the public, as in: the President says THIS is so, what do YOU think?

So, I think it's an opportunity to say "Fuck You, Chimp!" and to show the MSM (and WH who tracks this I'm sure) that we, the public, are NOT buying the bullshit!

[emdee]

20. Good point. Thanks -

makes me feel better about MSNBC's motives!

[npincus]

24. the question uses B*sh's language from his Friday speech

"irresponsible" in quotes.. I don't think the phrasing is insulting, they are turning B*sh's new talking point around and throwing back out for comment

see my post #17

[Poiuyt]

29. You're right, I guess I was insulted by Bush's questioning of anyone who

criticizes him

[gasperc]

35. a war that was supposed to end 2 1/2 years ago

the troop level was to be in the 10's of thousands if not 0 by now, and oh yeah how can we forget about the roses and greeted as liberators.

No, why should we critisize? How shameful. My only conclusion is that Bush Inc had perfectly good intelligence that showed Iraq was a toothless, paper tiger with no WMD and they would be EASY to roll over with tanks and that they knew full well that domin

If they are occupied with "freeping" internet polls, then they don't have time for their other favorite pursuits, namely, deflowering adolescents and small rodents.
