The denizens of Democratic Underground are trying to figure out how George W. Bush can possibly be ahead in the polls, when he’s obviously such a fascist Hitler smirking chimp.

Simple-minded yet all-powerful, the cowboy chimp bestrides the world like a low-IQ colossus, and Democratic Underground can only ask the poignant question, “Wha…!?”

It is quite a conundrum.

So they’ve boiled the possible solutions down to two: 1) Americans are idiots, or 2) Americans are racists. Poll question: Is Bush ahead in the polls because most Americans are racist? (Hat tip: Jheka.)

The polls show most Americans support a foreign policy that embraces preemptive strikes outside legal bounds (ie. Iraq).

They are willing to kill foreigners willy-nilly behind a policy that says “all Muslims are a POTENTIAL threat.” Never mind the ramifications of killing innocent people, as long as these attacks hinder terrorists they are justified. After all, in the end us Americans represent the good guys: Christian/Jewish brotherhood, and the Muslims represent the terrorists.
Generalizations like this are what leads to mass genocide. It’s no different than the anti-Jewish propaganda that Hitler promoted as a cover for his brutal imperialism.

As of this writing, 62% have voted Yes.
