9/11 "Truthers" make up half the Democrat Party.

No wonder blacks, hispanics, asians, white males, and other intelligent moderates are fleeing the Blame America First party in droves.

Doubt that. There are whack jobs in both parties. Most people do not want extreme ideas thrown upon them regardless...

Typically the people calling others names are usually the ones with extreme views outside of mainstream..

Well, for starters.....Novemeber 2nd, 2010 proved that Independents are voting for Republicans more than ever.....so you can trash that comment.

Secondly, PPP is a pretty biased source of information. IN fact, when you look at the other parts of this poll, it doesn't even come close to reputable polling companies like Gallop, Rasmussen, etc.

At your link it also says:

A CNN/Opinion Research poll in August showed that a quarter of Americans have doubts about Obama’s citizenship, with 11 percent saying the president was definitely not born in the United States.

Well you somewhat backed up his assertion with this statement.

If 25% of All Americans = birthers

and ~35% of Americans are Republicans

assuming the vast majority of birthers would support Republicans over Democrats then doing a ratio of 0.25/0.35 shows a ratio of 71% could be birthers.

Since we know not all birthers are republicans, but a majority can be assumed so, then 51% of Republicans being birthers would be a valid statistic.
