There's Never a General Sherman Around When You Need One

Think Progress: Public Policy Polling’s latest survey of South Carolina Republicans yields some shocking results for those who assume most of their fellow Americans don’t take issue with gays living in the country and believe it was a good thing the Confederacy was vanquished 150 years ago.

The poll, which involved 897 likely Republican primary voters who were contacted Sunday and Monday, revealed significant support for banning homosexuals from the country (20 percent in favor), shutting down U.S. mosques (29 percent), creating a national database of Muslims (47 percent), banning Islam (25 percent), and allowing South Carolina to hang the Confederate flag on the state capitol grounds in Columbia (54 percent).

In fact, more than a quarter of respondents (30 percent) said they wished the South had won the Civil War. 

If you had any doubt the base of the Republican party was a neo-confederate, treasonous, anti-American, proto-terrorist, racist, piece of shit, this should take care of that.  If you're not a neo-confederate, treasonous, anti-American, proto-terrorist, racist, piece of shit, and you're thinking of voting GOP, you should consider the company you keep.
