It's Official; bush supporters are DUMB AS DIRT.

[LynnTheDem]

A new study by the Program on International Policy Attitudes (PIPA) shows that supporters of President Bush hold wildly inaccurate views about the world. For example, "a large majority <72 percent> of Bush supporters believe that before the war Iraq had weapons of mass destruction."

Most Bush supporters <57 percent> also believe that the recently released report by Charles Duelfer, the administration's hand-picked weapons inspector, concluded Iraq either had WMD or a major program for developing them. In fact, the report concluded "Saddam Hussein did not produce or possess any weapons of mass destruction for more than a decade before the U.S.-led invasion" and the U.N. inspection regime had "curbed his ability to build or develop weapons."

According to the study, 75 percent Bush supporters also believe "Iraq was providing substantial support to al Qaeda." Most Bush supporters <55 percent> believe that was the conclusion of the 9/11 commission. In fact, the 9/11 commission concluded there was no "collaborative relationship" between al-Qaeda and Iraq.

Bush supporters also hold inaccurate views about world public opinion of the war in Iraq and a range of Bush's foreign policy positions.

When you pass by a car with a W bumper sticker stuck to it’s ass do you ever wonder if the person inside has a clue? This study suggest they don’t.

Majorities of Bush supporters incorrectly assumed that Bush favors including labor and environmental standards in trade agreements (84%), and the US being part of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (69%), the International Criminal Court (66%), the treaty banning land mines (72%), and the Kyoto Treaty on global warming (51%).

They were divided between those who knew that Bush favors building a new missile defense system now (44%) and those who incorrectly believe he wishes to do more research until its capabilities are proven (41%). However, majorities were correct that Bush favors increased defense spending (57%) and wants the US, not the UN, to take the stronger role in developing Iraq’s new government (70%).

4. THAT'S the PROBLEM...they DON'T KNOW HOW to read!

At least we know now EXACTLY WHY bush isn't yet impeached and sitting in jail for war crimes; half this country are totally CLUELESS about the FACTS.

HOW the HELL can so many be SO DAMN DUMB????!!

6. you bring up a valid argument.

It explains a lot. Let's see Republicans love soundbites, even if they are outright lies and will utter them over and over until the freepers believe them.

3. This is spectacular!

Just makes you wonder what the state of the election would be if so many people weren't so freakin' clueless!

7. bush would not only be IMPEACHED by now...

he'd be sitting in jail waiting trial for war crimes.

Some day the freeping rightwingnuts WILL find out bushCartel & Faux Moos have LIED to them and MADE TOTAL FOOLS of them.

I wonder...will the freeping rightwingnuts then get pissed off for being duped and conned? Or will they just continue being rightwingnut rubes?

11. Law of Averages

The average IQ is 100 on the old (and largely discredited) Stanford-Binet tests. Given that IQs under 80 are considered "Imbecilic" and is really the lower tail end of the distribution, and that there is still a fairly large number of people with IQs up to about 200 or so, it would seem reasonable to assume that a little more than half of the population is in fact dumber than average.

People who use the Internet heavily, are, by and large, fairly literate, capable of thinking and reasoning, and probably sit at a mean of about 110 or so. This implies that even the freepers on the boards are on the high end of intelligence, which implies that a great number of people in this country are dumber than these "smart" internet savvy freepers. This should be a thought that keeps most of us awake and sweating at night.

8. The word of the day is "ignorami".

One Bush supporter would be an ignoramus. Would more than one be ignorami? I was surprised to actually find the word in the dictionary. (The alternate plural is ignoramuses.)

13. Thanks. However, ...

... #10 and #11 kept the thread alive. So maybe this reply #13 will kill the thread. I'm just making an observation. This thread deserves to live.
