This just in: most Republicans are fucking nuts

If you thought that the conservative winguts’ faux outrage over socialism and Hitler-Obama and whatnot would lesson with the end of the healthcare reform debate … well, these recent numbers should set you straight:

• 67 percent of Republicans (and 40 percent of Americans overall) believe that Obama is a socialist.
• 57 percent of Republicans (32 percent overall) believe that Obama is a Muslim
• 45 percent of Republicans (25 percent overall) agree with the Birthers in their belief that Obama was "not born in the United States and so is not eligible to be president"
• 38 percent of Republicans (20 percent overall) say that Obama is "doing many of the things that Hitler did"
• Scariest of all, 24 percent of Republicans (14 percent overall) say that Obama "may be the Antichrist."

As if it wasn’t chilling enough, these numbers are actually worse than a previous in-depth poll, conducted just a month or two ago. Which raises the question: are there any sane self-identified Republicans left?
