No. He used the south as an example citing the fact that the hate might be coming from anti-semetic West Virginians. Which doesn't hold up.
Since if this was the case we would see similar numbers from other anti-Semitic people... which are normally republicans.
This is logically sound.
If group A. Antisemtic people are the cause for position A (Seeing israel as an enemy)
Then a group with much more of group A is going to have a much higher portion of people who beleive group A.
Example. Conservative democrats are anti-abortion. This can be show by a correlation that conservative republicans are anti-abortion.
If you were to claim that instead it were liberal democrats who were anti abortion... out of chicago. Then that is stupid arguement. Conservative people are like other conservative people be it republican or democrat. Therefore their views are mostly going to be consistant.
So we are looking for a group whose views aren't consistant with either conservatives or moderates... see liberals. Also note those who have claimed on these very boards that Israel is an enemy have been... liberal.
Due to a near complete lack of belief in population B of this. Antisemetic people being the main source of the 7% can be ruled out.
This is basic logic and social science procedure... and it is logical.
