10 Percent of Americans Are Morans

Now we finally know the size of Fox News/Limbaugh's audience, and it ain't a majority of Americans by a long, long, long shot:

Ten percent of Americans believe environmentalists intentionally sabotaged the oil rig Deepwater Horizon off the Gulf Coast according to a poll released Tuesday, apparently as part of a ploy to reduce Americans' support for offshore drilling.

The surprising finding was contained in a poll released Tuesday by Public Policy Polling. Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh floated the idea on his nationally syndicated talk show.

If I were a dishonest, lying son of a you know what, I'd go into the right wing hate talk radio racket. It's an easy gig. You can make bullshit up off the top of your head, abuse prescription drugs all you want, sexually harass the women who work for you, and never, ever have to worry about facts. Too bad I have a conscience.

Damn you Jiminy Cricket!

1. I must know all 10 Percent

I would have guessed it much much higher.

[Webster Green]

2. I think it's actually 28%

There's a core 28% that always polls against anything that makes sense.

It's the same 28% that cheered everything the chimp administration perpetrated upon us.

[unhappycamper]

5. Ding. Ding.

I think you have a winnah there Webster Green. :thumbsup:

[Bitwit1234]

14. And I believe they are all tea bags.

[Enthusiast]

16. Bush's base.

They will believe anything. And they are against anything. What have you got?

[CanonRay]

17. I agree, but within that 28%

is a really hardcore, certifiably insane 10-15%: people who still support Cheyney, and people who think environmentalists blew up the oil rig.

3. Pretty dumb

But the idea that it was done intentionally isn't restricted to Repubs. It's been floated right here in DU.

[Coco2]

4. It's 95%...10% are inordinately proud of it! n/t

[Ghost of Tom Joad]

6. only 10%

[tavalon]

7. Why the fuck would environmentalists sabotage the rig?

Oh, wait, we're talking to blithering idiots. Sorry, I forgot for one second just how stupid dittoheads are.

[WhiteTara]

9. malevolent, blithering idiots

not just stupid, but mean stupid at that. We are so into caring for the Earth, we will just kill Her to show them.

[Peacetrain]

8. No doubt about that.. a good 25% of the public is a lost cause

The good news is.. that leaves 75% of us hopefully to keep them in check!!

[ladjf]

10. I wold upgrade the 10% to about 30%. nt

[Webster Green]

11. I would love to hear their theories on how this was accomplished.

Scuba diving is good to about 130 feet, and that's pushing it. The most sophisticated metal diving suits are limited to about 2000 feet.

Do these people actually think that tree-hugging hippies have submarines that can operate one mile below sea level?

[Hubert Flottz]

15. Maybe it was Saddam's death drones that he was launching from

just off shore where the money hides.

"CONSPIRACY NUTS!"

[NNN0LHI]

12. 1 out of 10 persons you see walking down the street have the brain power of an avocado

I already knew that.

But thanks for the reminder.

13. Find the people who approve of Dick Cheney and there you have it

That's the percent of people who are Morans. I think that was 19% wasn't it?
