Creepy Right-Wing Bloggers

Andrew Sullivan sussed out an interesting survey of right-wing bloggers. 240 were sent an eight-question survey, and 63 responded. The results were . . . bizarre.

1) Do you think the surge should go forward?

Yes (61) -- 97%
No (2) -- 3%

2) Do you think that a majority of Democrats in Congress would like to see us lose in Iraq for political reasons?

Yes (53)-- 84%
No (10) -- 16%

4) Do you think mankind is the primary cause of global warming?

Yes (0) -- 0%
No (59) -- 100%

Some of the responses weren't as unhinged--but they were interesting:

7) If you were grading George Bush on his foreign policy for his presidency so far, would you give him an:

A or B (35) -- 56%
C (18) -- 29%
D, E, or F (10) -- 16%

8) If you were grading George Bush on his domestic policy for his presidency so far, would you give him an:

A or B (17) -- 27%
C (26) -- 41%
D, E, or F (20) -- 32%

By way of assessing how nutty these views are, here's some polling data on similar questions:

• 31% - In favor of the surge (61% oppose) (Pew)
  
• 47% - Americans believing global warming is caused by humans (Pew)
• 31%, 46% - Americans approving of Dubya's handling of the war and terror (WaPo)
• 43% - Americans approving of Dubya's handling of the economy
  

Analysis: right-wing bloggers are paranoid, scared of both the larger foreign world and Democrats, and they don't understand science. (Probably they're paranoid about it, too.)
