Right wing blogs and websites are claiming that according to an MSNBC poll, 96% of people favor the unconstitutional Arizona law. The numbers are closer to 60%. More lies from the anti immigration crowd. Who are you going to believe, MSNBC or some wacky websites whose links is disabled?

I don't remember seeing 96%; however, I have seen close to 60 percent which is still a majority, so that's great.

Did you actually think over 2 million people voted in an MSNBC poll? I thought that poll was a joke. I have to hand it to you Tuco you are the first one to say something about it.

The national poll is around 61% in favor of SB 1070. The Arizona polls are even higher, around 70% but don't quote me on that.

The 96% is all over the rightwing-o-sphere but refers to an online website click-here poll. Not scientific.

MSNBC poll, 96% - Google Search

I'm not even sure it was an "msnbc poll". The only reference goes back to a deleted page at newsvine where a poster says he voted. It appears to be reader posted poll. "msnbc.com's social-news community where you can discuss stories, publish your own column, and connect with other news lovers." It has less validity than a City-Data Politics poll.

Ok 2.8 million people. I also think you need to hit the bong again because you can't see the sarcastic side of anyone.

Apparently many other opponents of immigration don't see the sarcasm as they have responded to the "poll" post. Good technique, post outrageous lies, when you are caught in a lie, simply say you were being sarcastic. Limbaugh would be proud.

Someone hurls an insult at me and I respond and this is bumping. Oh wait, I know, don't respond and report it. Not my style, I knew snitches like that in grade and high school, couldn't stand those kids, they always seem to get a routine butt kicking.

Hmm, funny but that is EXACTLY what the Mods here suggest we do.

Sorry you don't know the "rules"
