"As Obama Derangement Syndrome--the disease where otherwise normal people are transformed into rabid, Hitler-waving lunatics who harass and throw crumpled dollar bills at defenseless old men with Parkinsons all because a semi-black man occupies the White House--continues to infect Teabaggers, the entire Republican Party, and other unstable nutjobs posing as patriots, a disturbing new Harris poll shows just how deep this deranged Republican rabbit hole goes.

And judging by the recent spate of violence and vandalism targeting Democratic lawmakers in the wake of Americans actually getting health insurance that doesn't try to either off them or profit off them, a return to even partial sanity doesn't seem likely any time soon.

Let's take a look at some of the polls more 'enlightened' findings shall we?

* 67% of Republicans (40% of Americans overall) believe that Obama is a Socialist
* 57% of Republicans (32% overall) believe that Obama is a Muslim
* 45% of Republicans (25% overall) agree with the Birthers in their belief that Obama was "not born in the United States and so is not eligible to be president"
* 38% of Republicans (20% overall) say that Obama is "doing many of the things that Hitler did"
* Scariest of all, 24% of Republicans (14% overall) say that Obama "may be the Antichrist."

Yes, America look around you. Chances are if you have six Republican friends (God help you), four of them likely believe Barack Obama, not Karl Marx, penned The Communist Manifesto, at least three of them think Obama is an illegal, Kenyan-born secret Muslim terrorist who hijacked the presidency, two or more believe that our 44th president and the worst mass murderer in the history of mankind, Adolf Hitler, are kindred spirits, and at least one is certain that Barry is the Devil incarnate."

Drug Makers to Pay Fine of $81 Million - Illegal marketing of antipsychotic drug

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Published: April 29, 2010

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department announced Thursday that two subsidiaries of the pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson had agreed to pay more than $81 million in a case accusing them of illegally promoting the epilepsy drug Topamax for psychiatric uses.

Federal drug regulators approved Topamax for epilepsy and for preventing migraine headaches.

It was the second settlement this week involving a pharmaceutical manufacturer accused of misconduct involving promotion of unapproved uses for a drug.

On Tuesday, Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. and Kathleen Sebelius, the secretary of health and human services, announced a $520 million settlement with AstraZeneca, resolving allegations of illegal marketing of the company’s antipsychotic drug Seroquel.

In the case involving Topamax, the government says Johnson & Johnson’s Ortho-McNeil-Janssen Pharmaceuticals unit will pay more than $75 million. That unit’s subsidiary, Ortho-McNeil Pharmaceutical, has agreed to plead guilty to one misdemeanor violation of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and to pay a $6.1 million criminal fine.

The government says that Ortho-McNeil Pharmaceutical promoted Topamax sales for unapproved psychiatric uses under a program called Doctor-for-a-Day. The program hired outside physicians who joined sales representatives in visits to health care providers and to speak at meetings and dinners about prescribing Topamax for unapproved uses.

Topamax had been a blockbuster for Johnson & Johnson, with sales topping $2 billion a year by 2006 and peaking at $2.7 billion in 2008. Topamax was approved for preventing migraine headaches about five years ago. The drug got generic competition in March 2009, and sales for the year plunged to $148 million.

Ortho-McNeil-Janssen said it had cooperated with the government since its inquiry began in 2003.

The settlement resolves two lawsuits brought under the False Claims Act. More than $9 million of it will go to the private citizens who brought the suits.
