What does it say about a political party when a poll finds that 61% of self-described Democratic respondents believe that George Bush either knew about 9/11 in advance or are not sure if he knew, and only 39% said he didn't have advance knowledge of the attacks?

The Rasmussen poll found:

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.

What does it say about the mainstream media that virtually no stories have been written about this poll's findings?

Talk about dysfunctional ...

Update: Ace has a post on media double standards.

The question answers itself. We all know why this is so. The old media is agenda driven -- and yet denies it.

When the emotions are given control, particularly when hatred is given control, there is no rational accounting for belief or action. These reflexive critters follow their hatred, rather than their rapidly depleted pre-frontal neurons.

Yes, hatred and rage kills the pre-frontal area of the brain---the judgment centers. Without judgment, and with only hatred, these unfortunates are being led by the red behind their eyes.

This kind of hatred is self destructive . It poisoned the GOP in the Clinton years. It has infected too many potentially productive minds and it is getting worse . Give it free reign and we become Nazis and jihadists.

I'd like to see a poll asking if respondents believed that George W. Bush was involved in the planning of Hurricane Katrina.

Keep this in mind whenever you hear any of them giving the 'truth' about anything. Hate filled paranoid delusions and opinions are 2 separate things.

First, I'd really like to know the question asked. Really, really, like to know, and it's driving me crazy because I can't tell if I'm just incompetent and can't find it on their website or not.

Plus, I'm noticing that 61% is a creation; an obvious interpretation in the study, but misleading. The "don't know/not" sure is supposed to be neutral ground in a study, not just withholding your suspicion. I got a distinct impression that Ace of Spades was being intentionally misleading, since the actual 39% is never mentioned, only the 61%.

By that measure, you should at least include that 46% of Republicans think Bush knew or are not sure. (This would be reason #2 why I'm dying to know the question asked.)

You're complaining about media bias, but you cheerfully excluded half of the study's results.
