Palin Nation

So, just like Sarah Palin who thinks Dr. Laura’s First Amendment rights are being “shackled” by “cackles of rads” who — shocker — don’t like the n-word, it appears as if 32 percent of Americans also don’t understand the Constitution.

The Economist via Kevin Drum: “Whether or not you think the Islamic cultural centre and mosque should be built near the World Trade Center site, do you think that Muslims have a constitutional right to build a mosque there?”

Also notice the 53 percent Republican number. That’s precisely why Sarah Palin can get away with crap like:

“Dr.Laura:don’t retreat…reload! (Steps aside bc her 1st Amend.rights ceased 2exist thx 2activists trying 2silence”isn’t American,not fair”)”

The people who generally support her are just as uneducated as she is.

    God, this shit stirrer of a woman is as twisted as she is evil-minded. But I know that she will get what is coming to her, because, karma is a bitch!

    Is there anything that she doesn’t stick herrace baiting self into? What an embarassment for modern womananhood. The woman mantra of ‘we’ve come a long way baby’ surely doesn’t apply to this mediaeval gal!

    The First Amendment According to Palin:You can’t practice your religion, you can’t say anything I don’t like, and you can’t complain if me or my friends say something you don’t like. If you try, I will threaten to shoot you.

    This isn’t an opinion question; it’s a question that has a answer of yes or no and only one of them is correct.Independents did better on this question than Democrats. How sad.But everyone knew that the Royalists would get it wrong. Facts are for liberals, and they hate anything liberal.

    What a moron this woman is. Here’s one more thing she doesn’t know. Dr. Laura is no fan of Palin’s.Think Progress:”Salon’s Joan Walsh recalls that Dr. Laura, in reaction to Palin’s Vice-Presidential nomination in 2008, was “stunned” and “extremely disappointed” by the pick. “But really, what kind of role model is a woman whose fifth child was recently born with a serious issue, Down Syndrome, and then goes back to the job of Governor within days of the birth,” said Dr. Laura. “I am haunted by the family pictures of the Palins during political photo-ops, showing the eldest daughter, now pregnant with her own child, cuddling the family’s newborn.”I can’t believe I agree with Dr. Laura on anything but, she nailed that crass, stupid bitch! By the way Rev Al Sharpton tweeted about Palin today asking, what did Palin mean by telling Dr. Laura to reload. He asked “Reload what? The N word? Good question Rev!

    They’re not uneducated, Bob, and they even recognize the hypocrisy, although if you point it out to them, they try to run from it.Nope, they know exactly what they’re doing, and I’d say that while 30% of Americans being that racist or anti-arab is a pretty high, it’s close enough to the truth.This is where it gets dangerous. Next, they’ll want to redefine religion in America as being only about the Judeo-Christian god.You wait…it’s coming.

    PPP, they’ve already attempted to forward that myth. Matter of fact, they’re on their third try from what I could tell. That’s one of those recurring idiotic notions the Cons keep going back to, like “privatizing Social Security.” Some of these people have no problem with a war of civilizations because we’ve got the bomb and a very capable military apparatus. They believe nothing will EVER match America in terms of WoMD. They are ignorant of the repercussions. It is the essence of imperial thinking, and it will eventually doom all in America. For real!You’d better believe that these…people know they’re being dishonest. They’re aware that there will always be someone within establishment media advocating their stupidity at this point, now that the proliferation of the rightwing propaganda programs and “reality” shows have become the norm.

    I dont think this has much to do with education, just simple hate and prejudice.

    Sorry but, anyone who uses the word cackle instead of gaggle is not educated, no matter how many colleges they attended. Oh, and speaking of idiots, check this out, from the kos on Sonny Bono’s widdow Mary Bono Mack. Dante Atkins posted this story about a note on facebook posted by Mary with tragic misspellings. What is it about the GOP and stupid women?”Ground Zero is today an American, historical memorial. It is hollowed ground, where three thousand innocent citizens, from all over the world, were murdered in an attack by Islamic terrorists. The Imam, who wishes to build this mosque on hollowed ground, refuses to state that Hamas is a terrorist organization. He refuses to state that America was an accessory to terror at 9/11. And, he will not disclose the sources of the money or what the real purpose is for building the mosque. By itself, Nancy Pelosi is wrong. But it gets worse, much worse and more bizarre.’Dante concludes:”And even better: Bono Mack attacks the Imam because “he refuses to state that America was an accessory to terror at 9/11.” So apparently…Bono Mack believes that 9/11 was an inside job? How dare the Imam not acknowledge this mainstream American value!Typos and misspellings ought to be just mildly embarrassing gaffes. But these cross a line into something else entirely.”I’m guessing blatant stupidity?

    The real sad thing about these numbers is that 63% is the highest of any group. I can see a small amount getting it wrong, but shouldn’t it be at least 85% across the board?
