Study (again) affirms link between stupidity and conservatism

6. "The right's stupidity spreads, enabled by a too-polite left"

Great title. Very interesting article. Another great quote, "...there is no pool so shallow that several million people won't drown in it."

And I agree - liberals and the left are FAR too polite. I think about that every time I see "we are above THAT" here at DU. Guess what, THEY are not above it, and THEY don't understand politeness and facts. If those are your weapons, you will lose. Everytime. I know, I grew up with one of those conservatives (who also happened to be an abusive authoritarian parent) and until you rhetorically bludgeon them over the head with some information that has an effect on THEM, they gladly - proudly - spew their ignorance. Laughing at them works just as well.
