New Harris Poll: Americans Are Out Of Their Minds

Scary stuff from John Avlon:

"To anyone who thinks the end of the health-care vote means a return to civility, wake up.
Obama Derangement Syndrome—pathological hatred of the president posing as patriotism—has infected the Republican Party(and all of us overall as well). Here's new data to prove it:"

1. 24% of Republicans ( 14% overall) think Obama is the Anti-Christ.

2. 38% of Republicans (20% overall) think Obama is doing the same things Hitler did.

3. 45% of Republicans (25% overall) think Obama was not born in the U.S.A..

4. 57% of Republicans ( 32% overall) think Obama is a Muslim.

5. 67% of Republicans (40% overall) think Obama is a socialist.

The above numbers all come from a brand-new Louis Harris poll... "which surveyed 2,230 people right at the height of the health-care reform debate, also clearly shows that education is a barrier to extremism. Respondents without a college education are vastly more likely to believe such claims, while Americans with college degrees or better are less easily duped. It's a reminder of what the 19th-century educator Horace Mann once too-loftily said: "Ignorance breeds monsters to fill up the vacancies of the soul that are unoccupied by the verities of knowledge."

These people are walking the streets. They are sitting in the pew next to you in Church. They are driving beside you on the road. They are your child's school teacher, the traffic cop that stops you, the hair stylist doing your hair, the nurse giving your shots......be afraid very afraid!

OK, enough of Glenn Beck, but seriously we are gone bonkers folks.
