And for some reason Fox News viewers remain staggeringly uninformed
I wonder if the Fox News and other conservative media outlet focus on painting every action by the current sitting president as being "illegal" or "unconstitutional" or "un-American" has
anything to do with this.
Republicans are more concerned about the imminent threat posed to the United States by President Barack Obama than by Russia’s Vladimir Putin or Syria’s Bashar Assad, according to a new poll from Reuters/Ipsos.
Thirty-four percent of Republicans see the president as an imminent threat, compared to only 25 percent for Putin and 23 percent for Assad. A roughly equal number of Republicans said Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei was an imminent threat equal to Obama.
There you go, you weren't imagining things. The Fox News 'n CPAC crowd really does trust Vladimir Putin more than they trust their own president. And why wouldn't they, what with all the conservative talking heads gushing over how that Putin fellow really knows how to run a country.
Fear of the Democratic Party broadly also outranked fear of Putin and Assad, with 27 percent of Republicans saying they believe the Democrats pose an “imminent threat” to the country.
Well congratulations, conservative thinkers. You've got a measurable percentage of the American public worked up into a trembling, frothing panic over all the little things like
executive orders and
appointin' people that were utterly uncontroversial before the black—sorry, before the
Democratic president took office. You've got your fan base completely unhinged for reasons that they can't actually describe, but that revolve around Benghazi, ACORN, and/or the supposed illegitimacy of the president.
And now you own these people. Hope you've got a leash on them.
