A poll that needs to be asked: “Do you think Obama is a werewolf?”

Seriously, what is the werewolfer situation?

Via hotair, this one musing on various paranoias

It has almost nothing, then, to do with birtherism specifically. There’s no material difference between asking people “Do you think Obama was born in the U.S.?” and asking “Do you think Obama tips 15% and likes adorable baby animals?” Or perhaps “Do you think Obama is a werewolf?” You will get comparable results no matter what, perhaps minus the tiny proportion that actually knows and believes the birther theory (and I conjecture that those people would immediately be “werewolfers” too, given the opportunity).

Also some of the birthers have some "strange" allies.


And there's been more help from various right wing and "right wing" activists.

From Hot air:

Other examples would be the 2007 Rasmussen poll showing 35% of Democrats were “Truthers,” or the PPP poll showing similar numbers of Republicans and Dems would label Obama or Bush, respectively, as the Anti-Christ.

So yeah.... nuts everywhere.

Including this:

As part of a larger survey about Americans’ predictions for the next 40 years, just over 1,500 people were asked whether they thought that Jesus Christ would return to the earth during that timeframe. Interestingly enough, it is self-identified Democrats who appear to have more certitude that this will happen than Republicans.

According to the poll, 26% of Democrats believe that the Second Coming “will definitely” happen within the next four decades. In comparison 19% of Republicans believe this.

Among those who think Jesus will probably return to earth in 40 years, there are more GOPers than Democrats. Just under a quarter (24%) of Republicans believe this will happen compared to 18% of Democrats who predict this. Independents are least likely compared to members of both parties to believe in Jesus’ imminent return.

However when you add up, people who think Jesus will or might come back within 40 years you get the close 43% Republican, 44% Democrat. Hardly seems that one party is more Jesus-gung-ho than the other. At least in a return option.

But the narrative is about the paranoid and insane Right. So that's what the media blathers about.
