Democrats vs The Stupid

Fulfilling his bloggy mission, Zandar points out the stupid in this wingnut-prØn poll, which finds that, according to Americans, the US has lost international standing during the Obama administration:

What a ridiculous poll. If you want to know how the US is perceived internationally by non-Americans, why are you asking Americans?

Good question, Zandar. As it turns out, Gallup released a poll last month that actually did gauge non-American perceptions of American leadership and presents data from 2006-2009:

The more sophisticated right-wing propagandists appear to have grasped the caveat that was immediately obvious to Zandar about poll #1. The booger-eating moron contingent see the poll as evidence that, thanks to Obama, the whole planet just hates our guts now.

The first group is always eager to exploit the ignorance and fear of the second. And that is a microcosm of the GOP’s grand strategy.

This is definitely today’s early leader for Top Stupid Meme. The wingnuts think it’s hellacool significant that Carville commissioned this poll, since apparently that means that not even a Liberal pollster can make hay out of a shitty methodology that generates meaningless responses.

Y’know, if you told them that a poll of Iranians found that Iran’s standing had gone up in the world, they would spot the logical flaw immediately, i.e. that Iranians are foreigners.
