A VERY Disturbing poll

I really don't understand the Republican mind. These numbers are alarming, 24% of Republicans actually think President Obama is the anti-Christ. 67% of Republicans think President Obama is a socialist, 57% say he's a Muslim, 45% responded he wasn't born in the United States, 38% say he's doing things Hitler would have done.

Put this together with the types of things that Sarah Palin is doing on her Facebook page, using cross hairs on a map to indicate which Democrats she thinks Republicans should "target" and you have a disgusting showing of lack of political savvy and sensitivity for the times we live in, especially when you couple this with the actual violence that is being incited at Fox News.

Rachel Maddow covered the violence and threats that have been received by some Democrats' offices over the health care legislation President Obama signed into law.

The most despicable health care ad

Last night on The Rachel Maddow Show, Rachel discussed an ad created by conservative filmmaker Ray Griggs. I guess the title of it is, "I Guess I'm Racist." I guess the point of the ad is that people who are against President Obama's health care push are racists. I'm not sure there was a direct correlation between race and people's opposition to health care, but there is.
