While your blog makes a good point to the dangers of being misinformed or even deceived by the wording in a question. I think the title is flawed and I would bet that most statistics would show that by in large the left is much more educated than the right. If you have ever traveled through the conservative south you would see for yourself.

For a look into conservative intellect levels, look to....

*John McCain rallies

*unconditional patriots

*Bush lovers

*Monster truck rallies

*Country Music junkies

*Professional wrestling events

All good barometers of conservative intellect....

Where do you get the idea that those who attend monster truck rallies and professional wrestling events are conservative? They seem to me to be more in line with the usual democrat party voting union member.

You are an idiot. You can give that same test to a random group of conservatives and they will answer the same thing. Not only is that one of the most common examples told in churches across the country, but haven't you heard the one about "ending women's suffrage?" Lesson: Most people are ignorant, especially when you use terminology they don't understand. Hence the terms "credit crunch", "bailout", or "conservative" --None of which actually mean anything.

This was nearly as good as the shampoo I found in mom's bathroom about 5 years ago listing its active ingrediant as hydrogenated hydroxide. (Also water unless they are refering to h3o as a short for acid).

I think this only demonstraits how stupid you are. Thanks for informing me of this pointless, and no doubt statistically accurate, survey. Why don't you collaborate with John Ziegler on his next project?

Here's a link to the wiki article on the original hoax, started in 1990. The article makes no mention of the targets' political affiliation. In fact, the hoax was started on usenet, and was therefore aimed at a group of people that can only be described accurately as "Internet users".

Unless Ktrotter assumes that all Internet users in 1990 were liberals. Then again, Ktrotter is not the first conservative to pull assumptions out of thin air and call them 'facts'.

Back under the bridge, troll.

How stupid are liberals?

They are almost as stupid as right winged "conservatives."

The only thing dumber than a liberal believing dihydrogen monoxide is toxic and should be banned, is a neo"conservative" who believes a story about that type of thing without question.

It's belief without question that is the enemy of all decent and thoughtful people in the world.

A social scientist studied the probability of being a Democrat Republican ,etc and found some interesting variable

Democrats are more personal freedom than economic Republicans are more economic freedom than personal Libretarians like both more

In a multiple regression framework, there is a tendency for income to make people more conservative and education to make people more liberal. 

Immigration.    Opposition shrinks as education rises Opposition grows as conservatism rises.

To answer the question of this blog, as stupid as Conservatives.

At least Liberals know what their agenda is, even if they are economically illiterate. Conservatives, on the other hand, have no idea that they push a pseudo Marxist agenda... while being economically illiterate.

having gone to school with some of the most brilliant liberals in the world, i would say their main problem is that they can not conceive that they may be wrong about anything, ever.

DemonDoug and carcassgrinder,

Well said, gentlemen!

And thanks to hey4ndr3w for disclosing the original source. Such gross generalizations, be they actually believed or masked under a veil of "sarcasm", have no place in intelligent discussions.

I think LordZ has come back to roost. God help us.

In only 5 days, this account has amassed 52 picks,  a 96.15% accuracy, and 21 groupies? Definitely sounds like a LordZ revenge plot.  If you are the infamous Lord Zero, welcome back, dude! If not, try a little harder not to be so offensive -- just a suggestion.

I wish more people would wake up to the realization that bickering over partisan politics only serves to waste time, effort, and resources at the expense of true progress.  This may just be my objectivist mentality talking, but how can you all not realize how stupid it sounds, when you throw around these generalizations in an effort to label the other guy as the bigger idiot?

The reality isn't that either one is "dumber" than the other, it's that both don't seem to ever think for themselves. 

DemonDoug nailed it, though to expand on his point:

This system's foundation is built upon confirmation bias, and the media keeps it all running strong by separately catering to either side, with each news agency positioning themselves as a mouthpiece for either the liberal left or conservative right.  Want a Conservative slant in your propaganda?  Fox News is the place to go.  How about a Liberal slant, does that suit your fancy better?  Then head on over to CNN, and let their elitist pseudo-intellectualism incubate your ego.  Don't bother thinking for yourselves though, you’ll be provided with experts you can trust.  Experts who are really only there to reaffirm your existing biases, so that you can go on the Internet to your favorite blogs, or to the water cooler at your office, and bicker on and on about who’s dumber, while your so called leaders gradually degrade your standard of living by embezzling the tax revenue you generate at whatever mindless service job you’ve landed yourself in.

Congrats on being part of the problem, and welcome to the machine.  How much are you paying a month for cable?  Your mind-manipulating media masters are happy to sell you their thoughts, and unfortunately you’re all still buying.  Stop, and you'll be surprised how much richer and more knowledgable you become.  I'm not kidding.

 Liberals are just as stupid as conservatives. Anyone who allows another to dictate their own views on any subject is a damn fool. That includes the religious. People live second-hand lives. What else is reality television? Porn for people who are afraid of the world IMHO. People will have no opinion unless they hear it somewhere-anywhere-else first. People are and always have been an enormous problem.

I'm getting there.  Can't yet seem to shake the anger, though.

"What else is reality television? Porn for people who are afraid of the world IMHO."

I've come to prefer the term "mental masturbation," though that could really apply to all television programming.
