A Poll Of My Own

Posted on September 30, 2009 by Matt Osborne
So I caught this poll on Facebook earlier: “Should the creator of the ‘Should Obama be killed poll’ be arrested poll.” Presently, 19.5% of respondents have chosen to self-identify as “racist dumbasses in favor of lynching.”

Reading over some of the rationalizations for the irrational “Should Obama be killed?” poll on this new poll, I decided to create a “which right-wing mouthpiece should be tortured?” poll. Within the hour, one of the very same rationalizers posted this:


“Poll Reported as being Hate and wishing death/Harm on another.”

They can dish it out, but they can’t take it.

Since Facebook has, indeed, pulled my poll, I’ve gotten a new one.

    How about Paul Harvey?…oh wait… Mel Gibson maybe?

    Matt, you should reframe the question so that it reads like this: Which GOP mouthpiece should be waterboarded. That way you can catch them in a double hypocrisy if they object.

    I swear, these rightwing morons drive me up the frigging wall.

    ZIRGAR, I made a choice to skip the whole waterboarding issue and go straight to torture. The last choice is really the payoff.

    Anonymous 1: Mel Gibson? An interesting choice, given that he makes torture porn.

    Anonymous 2: I've spent my entire life surrounded by those morons. How do you think I feel?!

    What are the poll results showing?

  • Matt Osborne

    ZIRGAR, there's an option to see the results. Right now, Von Hindenberg is leading.

  • ZIRGAR

    Oh, my bad. I thought it was just a screen shot of the poll. Good; Limbaugh dserves to be in the lead.

    Torture porn. Mel is good, but Quinton Tarantino might have Gibson beat in that department. Spielberg is a serious contender also. 'Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom' was even considered seriously by critics to have deserved an X rating.
