There were two online polls conducted by phxnews.com – a Phoenix,Arizona website, that appeals to a very broad membership.
The first poll asked whether the readers felt our troops were fighting on two fronts : terrorists in Iraq ; liberals at home – or just terrorists.
The result strongly favored the idea our troops were fighting a sort of “two front war”.
Evidently,the wording and findings of this poll disturbed some of the Liberal members of the message board. One denounced it as “hate speech”.
A second poll was then conducted for anyone self-identifying as an American Liberal .
THIS POLL IS FOR AMERICAN LIBERALS ONLY: Who do you see as the enemy? I am fighting against...
(64%)answered: Republicans who want to harm American society
(36%)answered: Islamic terrorists who want to harm American society
Ho………………..kay ! What does this mean ?
Does it mean a high percentage of these liberals hate Republicans, or does it mean they hate any political opposition, and want to eliminate it ?
Is it “hate speech” to ask this question ?
ps: Here's the results of another survey-taken at about the same time:
"Osama bin Laden and members of his worldwide terrorist army are...
Evil - 83%
Freedom fighters - 11 %
Neither freedom fighters or evil - 6 % "
