Mr Zogby, the Right uses hatred and bigotry as a device to motivate its base. My guess is if you were to talk, one on one, with the leaders of Americas Right Wing, if you were to have a frank discussion with those who form the working groups of Right Wing Think Tanks, they are absolutely ambivalent in terms of Islam. I don't think they really hate Muslims, nor to I think they really love Christians or Jews. They are using a device that has served their side well for decades. Forget about the issues confrontin
g the Nation. Forget about an intelligent conversation on policy. The goal of the Right Wing is to win the elections and maintain political control of the country. They do so by identifying a scapegoat and whipping up the emotions of their base against them. This process has been so clearly defined in the era of Obama. Muslims are Terrorists. Obama is a Muslim. A vote for Obama is a vote for a Muslim Terrorist. Anyone who stands with Obama is a collaborator with Muslim terrorists. The Democrats are collaborators with Muslim Terrorists.
Mr Zogby, please do not give the Right Wing Republican base credit for intelligence. Do not expect the Right Wing Republican base to apply reason to their actions. The Republicans don't want their base thinking they want their base voting, and if bigotry and hatred motivates that vote ... so be it.
