There's no gentle way to put it: People who give in to racism and prejudice may simply be dumb, according to a new study that is bound to stir public controversy.

SNIP

And here's the smug, lying bastard now.

This pustule looks like a child molester to me.

The establishment republicans, the liberals, and the moderates also believe the same thing.

LiveScience is the absolute dregs.

If you go to their "about" page, and read the staff bios (and they're all women of the same archetype - let's see the EEOC investigate them!), you'll understand why they don't report any actual science.

That's weird because I see them "gravitating" towards Obama and the food stamp office every day. The boy might want to check his data again. Something is screwed up here.

Dress up hate as “science” and peddle it to the leftist rubes who so desparately want to be told they are smarter than those with whom they disagree.
As many conservatives are aware (because they are quite studied and intelligent), the natl socialists created their own science, art, and literature, while labeling others’ views as degenerate. That is, intelligence by decree. That is one of the characteristics of totalitarian regimes in general.

I’d like to see the part of this loon’s “study” that explains why, if they “gravitate toward socially conservative ideologies”, why do they continue to vote for Obama and the ‘RATS.

I don't disagree.

The problem is that liberals, while being by far the most racist and prejudiced among us, deny loudly and try to deflect by claiming these are characteristics of conservatives.

Of course, only dumb people (generally liberals) believe all that because they can't (or won't) see the truth in front of their faces.

Even if socially-conservative individuals are more likely to have lower IQs, I could care less. A person’s moral character is what matters, not how high their intelligence is. Some of the most evil men in history were brilliant.

The left has this fixation with proving their superiority over others and it is frightening. You look at people like Margaret Sanger who was a leftist and wanted to sterilize blacks because she felt they were dumber and a drag on society.

Gordo’s keyboard and monitor has dried sperm and fecal matter on it.

If this is for real.. even stupider people copy studies made about them and think that we’ll take their “study” seriously.

OMG! This must mean that the biggest haters and racists in America HAVE DOWN SYNDROME!!! (but the seem s sweet)

In Woody Allen movies the conservative Republicans have brain tumors who return to proper Leftist progressivism when it's removed.

It’s just depressing how we are seeing more and more MORONS these days running around with Ph.D after their name. I guess it goes to show that diplomas ARE nothing more than tuition receipts.

You can't judge a book by it's cover.

However, experience is another thing, and what it has taught me is that the younger a person is, the 'smarter' they think they are.

One blogger pointed out that the survey contrasts people who judge on the basis of what they actually see and experience versus people who judge on the basis of attitudes that they've learned that they are "supposed" to have.

Sometimes the person who judges by experience or appearances does come up with the right answer, but the survey will always rate the politically correct attitude that people are "supposed" to have as correct and a sign of education and intelligence.

There may be something circular in the findings: what's "proven" is what the people who set up the study assumed to be true when they set up the survey because they defined intelligence as holding the attitudes that they favor.
