Last night, Glenn Reynolds posted an item on his site about an online poll on the web site for the Council on American Islamic Relations web site. Reynolds wrote,
THERE’S A POLL on the CAIR site asking if Ariel Sharon should be tried for war crimes. At the moment, it’s 94% saying yes, with 513 votes. You may want to weigh in.
How many people read Instapundit? I didn’t see the item until this morning, visited the CAIR site, and the votes at that time were around 520 “yes” votes to 11,500 “no” votes.
Apparently this outcome was not satisfactory to CAIR which altered its poll and simply threw out all of the “no” votes that came in overnight. Now the poll results show 2254 total votes, with 87 percent in favor of trying Sharon for war crimes.
That’s pretty much business-as-usual for the way CAIR operates.
