Filed by Josh Catone Perhaps most alarmingly, 41% of Americans answered 'Yes' to the question "Do you think Saddam Hussein’s regime in Iraq was directly involved in planning, financing, or carrying out the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001?" That total is actually up 5 points since September 2004. Further, a majority of people couldn't identify Saudia Arabia as the country of origin of most of the 9/11 hijackers, even given the question in multiple choice format. 20% answered Iraq, while 14% believed the hijackers came from Iran. A majority (52%) believe the US is losing the war against al Qaeda, however Newsweek disagrees. In the magazine's reporting of the poll, they made judgment that the US is in fact not "losing the fight against al-Qaeda or radical Islamic terrorism." A large majority of people said they didn't know or didn't care who the winner of this year's American Idol competition was (or at least weren't willing to admit it). The full results of the Newsweek poll are available here.

A new Newsweek poll out this weekend exposed "gaps" in America's knowledge of history and current events. 
Closer to home, 89% of Americans are unable to name the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court (John Roberts), though a majority of those polled were able to name Nancy Pelosi as the current Speaker of the House.

There's no depth to the feeble minds of the reichwing- easily hoodwinked, cowardly, fat, and stupid. They could be made to fear GNOMES were coming to get them and make their wives grow beards- and they would HAPPILY give away their liberty and a good chunk of their money to be "defended" from the the "GNOME THREAT!" The rank and file of the GOP are Dolts. Stupid moronic dolts.

The poll merely reflects the number of minutes the Bush Mouthpieces have trumpeted Sadaam Did It...Sadaam Did It...Sadaam Did It on the MSM... no analysis required. That is why the single control of the media is deadly for a republic. And therein lies part of our tyranny. We allowed the fireside chats to morph into Edward R Murrow... a leftist from head to toe, his progeny Walter Krankheit and then Dan Rather et al. Meanwhile the Hollywood moguls bought TV as fast as they schlepped their second string to play to the Poconos. The one who controls the media INVENTS an ever-changing history and the present, on demand.
