I'm not sure if that's amusing or scary. It only lists Christians and "unaffiliated", are there any polls on the opinions of Muslims?

Or Jews, Hindus, Bhuddists, Shintoists, Pagans, Athiests, Jainists, etc.?

The actual poll question was:
Now, thinking about Barack Obama’s religious beliefs… Do you happen to know what Barack Obama’s religion is? Is he Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, atheist, agnostic, or something else?

That is frightening. Then again,
Quote:
Among Democrats, for instance, 46% say Obama is a Christian, down from 55% in March 2009.
Only half of the D's think he is Christian. WTF?

A lot of democrats don't care about the "christian/non-christian" thing. Only 7% said muslim. The other large percentage was don't know, which would translate for me "don't care."

So, NOT saying he's christian does not equal "he's muslim."

Or something.

There are two different types of 'don't know'.

Q1. Does Infinite Monkey have any children?
A. I don't know, we've never spoke about it and I haven't heard, I have no way of knowing.

Q2. Is Barack Obama a Muslim?
A. I don't know, he says he's a Christian but he looks like one of 'em Muslims to me.

I think Colbert did a bit like that. Something to the effect:

I don't know that Sarah Palin suckles ligers at her breast.

I don't know that Karl Rove suck big donkey dicks.

For a while we were getting "push polls" where the questioner would call and ask something like "Upon learning that Infinite Monkey has fifteen restraining orders out against her for internet stalking would that make you more or less likely to nominate her to be a mod who would then have access to your IP?"

Of course you aren't saying this is true, but you've planted the seed in people's mind, and for a lot of my fellow country persons, the elevator doesn't quite make it to the top floor...

The truth is that we don't know for sure one way or the other.

The only thing we can be sure of is that anyone who automatically believes what the politicians and military people involved say is an utter fool.

And that should be the end of it, and people who respect the profession should STFU and leave it alone. Stop asking questions and move about with the same level of Freedom you had a little while ago. Obama had very little to do with this mission, other than giving the ok. Does any swinging dick here think for one minute that Clinton or Bush 1 or Bush 2 or Kennedy for that matter would not have given the same go ahead given the current situation???? No. Every single one of them would have done the same thing. And that is why Obama had little to nothing to do with the event. The curry goes to those in the arena who have been on the hunt since day one, long before Obama came on the scene. Obama pushed the button, but 99% of those before him would have done the same thing, and that makes his action irrelevant. I give him much less credit than those in the field, who set the stage before him who did the work and get none of the glory. As it should be....

Just don't try to get re-elected on the event or I and many others will crucify you for your attempts to exploit the event that you had very little to do with....

You're delusional and obsessed with a relationship that only exists in your mind. Kinda scary but still amusing.
