You don't know whether to laugh or cry...

A new Public Policy Polling survey shows finds that 49% of Republican voters nationally say they think that ACORN stole the election for President Obama, as compared to 52% that thought ACORN stole the 2008 election, "a modest decline, but perhaps smaller than might have been expected given that ACORN doesn't exist anymore."

17. Keeping America misinformed and the rich rich

It's double-duty stupid.

32. actually, I will do neither. I will merely stare.

3. Freakin' nuts!Why does it always have to be nuts

[NightWatcher]

4. how many still "think" (wink) that Obama's a muslin or a Kenyan, or a .....?

This is just BS that shows that a large number of people are gleefully ignorant, hateful, or as Faux calls them "their target demographic"

[rurallib]

5. Yes, Virginia, there is an Acorn, in the hearts and minds of the crazies

throughout the land. And they will blame Acorn for everything from the case of syphilis they contracted to the election of any democrat to office.

[dballance]

6. Talk About Faith-Based Idiots

So they believe ACORN stole the election. Most likely based on the testaments coming from their high priests and priestess' like Limbaugh, Coulter, Malkin, Hannity and the rest.

These are probably the same people who believe the Earth is only 6,000 years old and that Jesus was a real person rather than a mythical character like Zeus or Poseidon.

[The Wizard]

29. 6000 years old

and flat.

[mlevans]

7. Oh, my country.

How I do grieve for thee.

[Egalitarian Thug]

8. Cry. This type of ignorance transcends class and party lines across our nation. n/t

[intersectionality]

24. Yes it does. Did anyone else read the PPP page? It's hilarious.

"The 39% of Americans with an opinion about Bowles/Simpson is only slightly higher than the 25% with one about Panetta/Burns, a mythical Clinton Chief of Staff/former western Republican Senator combo we conceived of to test how many people would say they had an opinion even about something that doesn't exist."

30. In the words of the snooty maître d in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, "I weep for the future". n/t

[barbtries]

9. who is public policy polling?

do they have a sampling of nothing but teabaggers or something?

[Enrique]

10. liberal-leaning

and among the most accurate for the 2012 election, as I understand it.

[barbtries]

22. WOW

that is tragic

[Lydia Leftcoast]

11. Republicans have ACORN on the brain

Someone actually posted on the Facebook page of Acorn Media (a distributor of British and Canadian DVDs) a couple of years ago, asking if they were related to ACORN, and if not, urging them to change their name. They responded that they'd had the name since 1979 and that all sorts of businesses use the word "Acorn" in their names.

[LisaLynne]

20. ACORN on the brain or ...

an acorn for a brain?

[BainsBane]

12. If we "Libtards" had done any research

We would have known better than to vote for Obama, acceding to these same geniuses who think Acorn stole the election.

[libodem]

13. Start crying

It is sad.

[99th_Monkey]

14. I'm beginning to think the N. Koreans are onto something

with their "re-education camps".

Just kidding, of course ... but jeesh. this just boggles the
mind, to see what a bunch of absolute idiots we are, and
must appear to the rest of the world.

[Zorra]

15. Anyone care for some of my homemade GOP Magic Beans and Fairy Dust casserole?

I use an ACORN base.

[libdem4life]

16. There is another option it brings to mind ...

the kids call it "tossing your cookies"...but only in an academic sort of way.

[jtuck004]

18. Oh, for a follow-up question.

"Here are two major newspaper accounts and a press release. Acorn was disbanded two years ago, and they are no longer in existence. Does this change your answer?"

I would be for over half of them it wouldn't, and that's really scary...

[lonestarnot]

19. LMAO

[hue]

21. Repuke Kool aide is hard to metabolize!!! n/t

[TxVietVet]

23. Focks Nooz and druggie limbaugh probably get credit for this.

They keep their audience very uninformed.

[bettyellen]

25. lot's of people have enemies that are completely imaginary, LOL.

[wiggs]

26. The power of media consolidation and agenda in ownersh. Fortunately, republican voters

represent, what, 35% of the people who vote? 49% of 35% is 17% of voters, about 10% of the nation?

Still....In addition to the 49%, I bet there are many more voters unsure, uncertain, confused, ignorant, willing to consider it, etc.. Confusion seems to be a goal of the propagandists too...even if they can't convince enough people that POTUS is a not citizen, they muddy the waters, make clear issues gray...generally piss on knowledge, honesty, and information.

If there were no FOX and the percentages of talk radio were evenly split between progressive, unbiased, and conservative (instead of the 90% conservative we have now)...you'd have to say that people would be better informed...and public discourse and democracy would be the better for it.

Propagandists on the public airwaves is an irresponsible and diminishing influence on democracy, IMHO. Shouldn't be allowed.

[progressoid]

27. Now, I'm depressed again. Thanks Will.

[Solly Mack]

28. Ouch.

[joeybee12]

35. I said it before, 30% of this country is criminally insane...

So this doesn't surprise me.

[WilliamPitt]

37. The other 60% root for the SEC.

[sellitman]

38. The real news is 51% don't believe it.

Why must you always be so negative?

[hifiguy]

39. If stupidity were gold,

these klowns could buy a significant chunk of the galaxy.
