"Birthers" a majority among Republicans

Well, this is a sad observation about the power of evidence to convince people of facts: a Daily Kos poll shows that fewer than half (42%) of Republicans are convinced that Obama was born in the U.S. (28% believe that he was not born in the U.S. and 30% are unsure).

Now how do you suppose those “birthers” manage to explain Obama’s original birth announcement in the Honolulu Advertiser, and all the other evidence for his birth in Hawaii? It must be a conspiracy: people planted that announcement in the newspaper way back in 1961, anticipating that some kid named Barak, born outside the USA, would grow up to be elected president.

58% of Republicans don’t accept good evidence. That’s truly an “unscientific America”! Does this mean that people’s willingness to face facts is affected by their preconceptions and biases?

Naah, it must be those atheist-scientists whose shrillness has driven Americans away from accepting evidence, and who just won’t shut up.

FYI - if you check around the internet, you'll find that Daily Kos has a very bad reputation for polling. In the words of one user, "DailyKOS's polls have very little to do with reality or science. They have no credibility."

Another user: "It's amazing how it seems of all their polls have such shock value. Makes you wonder where exactly they get their polling numbers from. Let's wait for an actual mainstream poll to come out before jumping to conclusions. Daily Kos has always been about publicity."

I certainly hope those aren't the real numbers.

Although I must say, I do still hear a good deal of "we'll never see the birth certificate! where is it?!" from Fox News, and people in the heartland.

You'd think the Illuminati would have covered this before they began to use Obama as their puppet for the New World Order!

I'm surprised they missed this!
