    WTF?

    Seriously?

    Are these the same 66% that continually bashed Bush for spying on Americans?

    Bush spying on Americans: bad, evil, Hitler
    Obama spying on Americans: good, savior, messiah

    Liberalism is a mental disorder

    66% Believe Obama Administration 'Right' to Analyze and Collect Internet Data

    So you're saying that 66% of those polled were liberals?

    I am an Obama supporter, and I would have been among the 34 percent in that poll.

    Yes but remember you have to be part of the 66% or the OP loses his elitist position

    They use skewed polls in efforts to "make news" and corrupt reality. This way, when anyone with a functioning brain looks at the facts and says, "that's f∞§cked up", people in power will tell you that you are an extremist. That's what they did to the Tea Party.

    So you are saying the number is not an accurate representation now?

    No 66% agree with spying on Americans; the poll was asking about Obama collating the data on people in other countries.

    lol good catch!!!

    That poll is quite loaded.. And that's not very nice of a news company to make baseless assertions and state them as fact; nobody, especially Obama ever proved this was only for catching terrorists. They left off the "according to Obama" in regards to the motives behind the data gathering.

    66% of CNN viewers. Not a surprise, if it was Bush doing it, it would have been 66% against it. CNN is full of Obama bootlickers.

    If all the whistleblowers are to be believed, then the mainstream media is often a mouthpiece of the government used to sway public opinion.

    that is really nothing new, but the internet has added a new twist with paid shills that sit in their little cubicles all day and make comments on news sites and internet forums. Some are even organized volunteers for organizations like move on, think progress etc

    anyway as I pointed out in an earlier post, the wording on that question was more along the lines of a push poll than anything that anyone really interested in public opinion would ask so I would not put much faith in the results
