ReplyRecommend (2 recommendations so far) Message 3 of 10 in Discussion From: CaticusPoliticusUSASent: 5/16/2007 10:17 PM The poll said Bush had fore knowledge of it, kind of mincing words a bit, but fore knowledge means Bush allowed it to happen and knew it was coming. It would get someone convicted in court for being an accomplice so there really isn't much difference.

If 15% is sheer stupidity I wonder how the answers to the question, Was Saddam responsible for 9/11?,
would break down on a party basis.

I'm willing to bet that the number of republicans answering yes would be a multiple of the number of democrats answering yes.

Hawkins is right. The world is full of crazy people … like John Hawkins.

This seems like a rather poorly worded question.

I agree with previous comments: It was a very poorly worded poll question.

Surprising for "a reputable firm." I suppose everyone stumbles now and then, though.

Don't forget the way the media pushed that whole 8/6/01 PDB as a clear warning of an imminent attack. Yeah, I know it didn't say that, but that's the way the media portrayed it. If the real 9-11 Denial crackpottery (like LIHOP and MIHOP) were that strong among the Democrats (and let's not forget 1 in 8 Republicans), then some politician would have seized it as an issue. Even that fruitbar Kucinich has restrained himself from embracing 9-11 nuttery. Countless journalists and columnists would be devoting time to the issue. That they are not (except to express obvious derision at the movement) is a pretty good sign that most of the people answering yes were not talking about complete knowledge, but were saying "They should have known". I disagree with them, but they are not complete kooks, just misinformed by the MSM.

Bithead has picked out the overwhelming common denominator, It seems like very simple fact that the Democrats will believe anything if it helps fuel their hatred for Bush. As for the 15% of crazed rhino, could they be the same knuckle heads who helped vote this madness into control of our congress and senate?

So why is 15% for republicans OK, and double that for democrats something to make a big deal of-

Fifteen percent can be attributed to sheer stupidity. More than that believe UFOs, the Easter Bunny, and pro wrestling are real. (That's a made-up stat, BTW, but likely right.)

By: spencer

spencer — Sat, 05 May 2007 16:48:45 +0000

the poll also found that 15% of republicans believed the same thing.

So why is 15% for republicans OK, and double that for democrats something to make a big deal of-- especially given the reasonable questions raised above about what people thought they were saying when they answered the question.

Hawkins has this one right.
What he misses is these are normally fairly sane people, driven over the edge by Bush Derangement Syndrome.

Yes, I suspect Mr. Denton is right. Democrats would be more likely to remember the title of that memo, without being familiar with its actual contents, and thus to believe that the administration had a much more specific warning than it did

I would also like to see the actual questions. I can imagine that slight differences in interpretation could result in different answers. For example, if the question were phrased:

"Bush had knowledge of the 9/11 attacks, but failed to take the intelligence seriously enough."

I can imagine that many Democrats would answer this yes.

I agree with the above comments. What was the name of that briefing report that Condi had to be forced to admit to giving Bush? ‘Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States.’

Maybe Democrats are more apt to remember that.

If however the pollees thought the question was referring to the government having knowledge that AQ was up to something and planning to launch an attack in the US without knowing the specific details then the poll makes more sense.

This was my first thought as well. I wonder if Democrats and Republicans systematically interpreted "know" differently. From the Rasmussen site, the exact wording was:

Did Bush Know About the 9/11 Attacks in Advance?
