Reddit Loonies Hijack FoxNews Poll

I voted, but the Reddit crowd is still ahead in the poll.

[DesertConservative]

I voted.

Still 25% to 60%, reddit in the lead.

Vote more.

Lulz, as if there aren’t loonies at *this* site too? No site is completely immune from the disease of liberalism. I go to Reddit often and find it does have a fair share of conservatives. If you go poking around in anti-Palin/Fox threads then of course you’re going to find liberals.

Some conservatives don’t like Glenn Beck or Palin. That doesn’t mean they’re liberals.

Don't know what a “Reddit” is but FReeped the poll.

There is only one left wing response so it will be an easy poll for anti-American types to swing it.

[TexasFreeper2009]

Fox worded that poll badly.

It’s like me taking a poll that says:

Who do you think Jesus Christ was?

a. The son of God
b. The word
c. The truth
d. The light
e. The lamb of God
f. a phony con artist

and then complaining when F is selected more than the others.

Notice that 3 out of the 4 choices (not including “other”) are valid responses in favour of the Tea Party. There is only one negative choice — thus practically guaranteeing that the largest single % response would be negative. Most people would just look at the bars, and not tally the positive responses. Quite a trick, eh? Just one of the many ways these (already meaningless) polls can be skewed, to produce any “results” the publishers want.

stupid pole.....too many choices for conservatives....not enough for leftists.

[USFRIENDINVICTORIA]

Well said.

[BornToBeAmerican]

Whoever the dingbat is who put that poll up needs a flogging.

Only a complete idiot would put a poll up that let’s the voter, vote more than once (without at least changing subnet IP addresses)

[stefanbatory]

i voted 5 times...

[Deb]

Online polls are really pointless. We know it, they know it, everyone knows it.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

With racism and conspiracy answer leading the way, Foxnews will never show the results of this poll.

[Forgiven_Sinner]

Small government and fiscal responsibility   25% (19,438 votes)
Exposing Democrats' socialist agenda          2% (1,636 votes)

Ping to a Fox Poll: What Is the Tea Party Movement About?

[Nosterrex]

I voted, but these are never scientific polls. FOX and others create polls as a hook to get people, regardless of how that vote, to hit their websites. It's a money making gimmick.

[George from New England]

STOOOPID POLE Cmon Fox, you know better.

[Vaquero]

or POLL...(I see that I spelled it wrong)

we get the POLE from zer0bambam and the dhimms.....

[dynachrome]

Maybe we can make it a bit closer. Thanks to Lucky9teen for da ping!
