The even crazier story is this: In 2006, 61% of Democrats thought it was unacceptable, and in 2013, 34% of Democrats think it is unacceptable. I vote as Democrat as the next guy, but that's some crazy double-think going on there.

EDIT: Or with even less mental effort they saw a question about privacy and didn't have an answer at hand so just substituted it with the question: do you like the President? It's not double think if they never had an opinion on privacy :)
