I've got to wonder what else Fox News and Rasmussen think are acceptable topics for poll questions besides whether it is okay to torture someone or not. And since when does public approval for anything make it right? If the public still thought slavery was alright should we bring that back? How about women being allowed to vote? Inter-racial marriages--should we be taking some polls on what the public thinks about that topic?

As the Raw Story article noted:

Hard-line sentiments were also reflected in the answers to questions about airport security -- 54% would like to see the United States take control of boarding procedures at foreign airports -- closing the prison at Guantanamo Bay, and probes of CIA torture during the Bush administration.

Liberal blogs have been skeptical all year about Rasmussen polls which show President Obama with an approval rating far lower than any other polling organization, and polling analyst Nate Silver in particular has recently subjected Rasmussen to fierce mockery. This latest poll is likely to only increase the controversy.

1. i want everyone on faux waterboarded

[Better Today]

2. Well, I was going to rec this, but your comment stops me.

No one should be tortured, and it isn't a joking topic these days, imo.

3. because torture works!

Hundreds of years ago, the average person was faced with the scourge of witchcraft. Witches would sicken and kill, cause your favorite cow to create sour milk, cause marital discord and basically were behind all sorts of social evil.

Through a sustained campaign of torture, thousands of witches were uncovered and executed. Witchcraft was eliminated. Unexplained cattle deaths were no more.

What made Europe safe from witchcraft will also make the world safe from terrorism.

4. Has torture started working?

Because it keeps on being pointed out that it doesn't. But idiots still seem to it that it does? Do we have to torture people who support using torture to prove that torture doesn't work?

No comment necessary. :eyes:

6. Rasmussen was closest pollster on Nov '08 because its biases track those of voting systems... n/t

7. The guy admitted he was Al Qaeda right away

It would not be difficult to extract accurate information from him without torture.
