I agree that the poll is obviously somewhat lacking in context.

On the other hand, 11% of Dems and Indies say armed revolt is not justifiable.

Do you think that they believe that if suddenly we were under an oppressive, murderous, fascistic tyranny, armed resistance would not be justifiable?

I doubt it. Why do you suppose that Republicans were some 2.5 times more likely to say that armed revolt is justifiable? Because they are more patriotic than Dems and Indies? More dedicated to being free from tyranny?

Or, perhaps, they think that armed resistance is justifiable because Obama is a Nazi/Socialist/Communist/Whitey-hating/terrorist sympathizing/Lyin’ African/illegal immigrant/Muslim/pansy?
