Another depressing result from a new Newsweek poll:

I’m not even sure there is a rational explanation for the fact that 31% of Americans believe something like this, and the fact that a majority of Republicans thinks that it’s probably true that the President of the United States shares the same goals as Osama bin Laden and Mahmoud Ahmadenijad.

Is rational debate even possible at that point ? I’m not sure.
