... because I can back up my claim but they never can !!!

Hate to even bring this up, but the article states that in one poll it was 48 to 41 in FAVOR of the ban. (Not 57, but not good!)

And...

"A YouGov poll in December 2015 found that 58% of surveyed Americans had an “unfavorable” opinion of Islam"

Yeah, that didn't work.

Your comment doesn't tell the whole story.

I was pointing out that numbers almost like the ones mentioned in the OP have some support in the press.

And I did read the whole article.

"The most recent poll was conducted by Reuters and Ipsos on 30 and 31 January, just days after the order was issued. Of the 1,201 adults who responded, 48% said they agreed with the executive order and 41% said they disagreed (the group of respondents included independents as well as an almost even split of Democrats and Republicans)."

Why are you being rude? I didn't come here to pick a fight.

Lots of fun

They are free to have alternative opinions and interpretations, but facts are facts.

Furthermore, I don't give a shit if "most" Americans want the Muslim ban, it's still wrong.

Please google KellyAnn Conway Alternative Facts and you will understand

I also understand it's bullshit. I don't think we need to use the new terminology when the old terminology of LIE works just fine.

It's kind of like Obamacare and the Affordable Care Act. They are the same thing and it doesn't need 2 names.

It drives home the sheer ridiculousness of it all.

many Americans as terrorists...with supporting links of all kinds...so don't tell me it's fake. I even use a Catholic website (or whatever) who reported this FACT. So you don't want to believe the NYT...OK here's a link to XYZ Christian Inc. BAM.

so I can't even get it there.

Not that I needed one.

At first I didn't want to join because I was on the net for so long when it took off that the whole "community" thing was already cold to me. But now it seems like a place to argue. I'd be defriending with a blow torch so it's best that I refrain.

we have been screaming online at the tv,telling our friends "Did you just see Rep--- LIE.

We have been telling Dems for years to tell it like it is. We don't want to hear misled,mistruth,falsehood,distortion its a Damn lie!

Not enough to get into tit for tat arguments.
