Newsflash: 35% of Dems, 22% of all Americans, are barking mad

A new Rasmussen Report gives us some startling insight into the mental stability of many Americans.

Democrats in America are evenly divided on the question of whether George W. Bush knew about the 9/11 terrorist attacks in advance. Thirty-five percent (35%) of Democrats believe he did know, 39% say he did not know, and 26% are not sure. [In other words, 65% of Dems at least think Bush may have known in advance. --ed.]

Republicans reject that view and, by a 7-to-1 margin, say the President did not know in advance about the attacks. Among those not affiliated with either major party, 18% believe the President knew and 57% take the opposite view.

Overall, 22% of all voters believe the President knew about the attacks in advance. A slightly larger number, 29%, believe the CIA knew about the attacks in advance. White Americans are less likely than others to believe that either the President or the CIA knew about the attacks in advance. Young Americans are more likely than their elders to believe the President or the CIA knew about the attacks in advance.

As Charles Johnson at LGF has become fond of saying, there's a bad craziness loose in the world today.
