The numbers speak for themselves. From a new Harris poll we learn that…
67 percent of Republicans (and 40 percent of Americans overall) believe that Obama is a socialist.
57 percent of Republicans (32 percent overall) believe that Obama is a Muslim
45 percent of Republicans (25 percent overall) agree with the Birthers in their belief that Obama was “not born in the United States and so is not eligible to be president”
38 percent of Republicans (20 percent overall) say that Obama is “doing many of the things that Hitler did”
Scariest of all, 24 percent of Republicans (14 percent overall) say that Obama “may be the Antichrist.”
Bottom line? If you’re a Republican, there’s a greater than 50% chance you’re a complete idiot.

They are sick people with a warped understanding of what this country is about. There is no dialogue with the deranged.
