On the heels of health care, a new Harris poll reveals Republican attitudes
about Obama: Two-thirds think he's a socialist, 57 percent a Muslim--and 24
percent say "he may be the Antichrist."

To anyone who thinks the end of the health-care vote means a return to
civility, wake up.

Obama Derangement Syndrome--pathological hatred of the president posing as
patriotism--has infected the Republican Party. Here's new data to prove it:

67 percent of Republicans (and 40 percent of Americans overall) believe
that Obama is a socialist. The belief that Obama is a "domestic enemy" is
widely held--a sign of trouble yet to come.

57 percent of Republicans (32 percent overall) believe that Obama is a
Muslim 45 percent of Republicans (25 percent overall) agree with the
Birthers in their belief that Obama was "not born in the United States and
so is not eligible to be president" 38 percent of Republicans (20 percent
overall) say that Obama is "doing many of the things that Hitler did"
Scariest of all, 24 percent of Republicans (14 percent overall) say that
Obama "may be the Antichrist." These numbers all come from a brand-new
Harris poll, inspired in part by my new book Wingnuts. It demonstrates the
cost of the campaign of fear and hate that has been pumped up in the
service of hyper-partisanship over the past 15 months. We are playing with
dynamite by demonizing our president and dividing the United States in the
process. What might be good for ratings is bad for the country.
