Behar: Liberal Opinions Come from Being Smart; Conservatives Closed-Minded (Video)
Newsbusters ^ | July 12, 2010 | Jeff Poor

It's patently obvious HLN host Joy Behar has a disdain for the conservative point of view. But is it because she is ideologically liberal, or perhaps does she just think it is "cooler" to be liberal?

On CBS's "Sunday Morning," CBS correspondent and sometime fill-in "Evening News" anchor Russ Mitchell interviewed the HLN host of "The Joy Behar Show." He asked her about views and where this view came from.

I think it works like this:

Little Kids - “I believe whatever my parents do.”

Teen - “The world sucks, I hate my parents. There must be a better way.”

College Kids - “Why don't we all just work together? I bet no one has ever thought of that before!”

Post-college Kids - “Why didn't we change things? The MAN must be keeping us down!.”

Working Adults - “Well, on the one hand I guess I'm glad there's a system that keeps my safe and lets me earn a living. I better join the Sierra Club though. Just in case.”

Wise People - “I'm not the smartest person ever, and I should study history to what's worked and what's failed. If I have these ideas about politics there's a good chance other people had the same ideas a long time ago.”

I think Behar is somewhere between a teen and a college kid.

I have met very few smart lefties. I have met a huge amount of followers and group-thinkers who are lefties.

“I’m not the smartest person ever, and I should study history to what’s worked and what’s failed. If I have these ideas about politics there’s a good chance other people had the same ideas a long time ago.”

This is an excellent observation.
