Opinion: Scary new GOP poll - Yahoo! News
NEW YORK On the heels of health care, a new Harris poll reveals Republican attitudes about Obama: Two-thirds think he's a socialist, 57 percent a Muslimand 24 percent say "he may be the Antichrist."
67 percent of Republicans believe that Obama is a socialist
The belief that Obama is a domestic enemy is widely helda sign of trouble yet to come.
45 percent of Republicans 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 say that Obama is "doing many of the things that Hitler did"
high percentages of Republicans believe that President Obama is "racist," "anti-American" "wants the terrorists to win" and "wants to turn over the sovereignty of the United States to a one-world government."
------ Respondents without a college education are vastly more likely to believe such claims, while Americans with college degrees or better are less easily duped. It's a reminder of what the 19th-century educator Horace Mann once too-loftily said: "Ignorance breeds monsters to fill up the vacancies of the soul that are unoccupied by the verities of knowledge."

The Marine, Kody Brittingham, a 20-year-old lance corporal, wrote that he had taken an oath to protect against all enemies, both foreign and domestic. In a signed letter of intent, tucked away in his barracks at Camp Lejeune, he identified a domestic enemy he planned to eliminate last winter: President Obama.
it was the nature of the threats that concern them and because the factors behind the increase remain Mr. Obamas race prime among them.

We've been saying that. And people ask me why I think Republicans are dangerous.
