Newsweek Poll: Republicans Think Obama 'Probably' Wants To Impose Islamic Law
As Sam Stein has pointed out, a majority of Republicans suspect that President Obama wants to impose Islamic law, also known as Sharia, throughout the world, according to a new national poll from Newsweek. But even as they say this, a lot of them aren't completely sure.

The poll asked: "Some people have alleged that Barack Obama sympathizes with the goals of Islamic fundamentalists who want to impose Islamic law around the world. From what you know about Obama, what is your opinion of these allegations?"

The top-line result was definitely true 7%, probably true 24%, probably not true 36%, and definitely not true 25%. Among Republicans, however, it was definitely true 14%, probably true 38%, probably not true 33%, and definitely not true 7%.

2. New rule: Republicans can no longer simply say "reality".
They now have to say "Mr. Reality". Republicans and reality are definitely not familiar with each other on a first name basis.

4. Propaganda works. As long as people are proud of being ignorant, this
will be the result. A few at the top manipulate the many for their own advantage.
