Holy crapamoly, even though these stats are totally subjected to massive spin, the results are still terrifying. The fact that 1/4 of the people polled agreed with such McCarthy-like statements tells me that a significant number of Americans learned nothing from the Cold War or from the deaths of 6 million people under the Third Reich. *shivers in fear*
Yeah. I agree wholeheartedly that left and right both use more spin than the Harlem Globetrotters. But dude. The fact that a noticable percentage would agree with this stuff is scary, scary. What's next, the return of the House Un-American Committee? Or do we already have that, just with different labels?
