Look at the results of this average “News IQ Study” for conservatives vs liberals Rea

Just because a cricism is leveled at one side of the political spectrum does not mean that an equal criticism must be leveled at the others at the same moment. If you want to talk about what Republicans do go start your won thread.

If you wish to start threads where everyone just agrees with you and the topics aren't open for debate, start your own forum. Until then, realize you are posting in a place where your threads are open for debate and any, and every, part of your post is available for debate.

I did't say it was not open for debate. What you are doing is off topic. That is not debate. Saying "They do it too" is not debate. It is off topic rhetoric.

You yourself state that "the primary point is that liberals are constantly claiming that conservatives are too ignorant and or stupid to really understand."

It's certainly relevant to understand if conservatives make the same claims about liberals.

:thumbs: Both sides do it. It is not one-sided, Democratic Party only behaviour.

Let me lay this out for those who are intentioanlly ignoring the main point of the op. .07 is irrelevant to the point of the op. the primary point is that liberals are constantly claiming that conservatives are too ignorant and or stupid to really understand. Any number even if it was .01 proves that to be false.

So now political conservatives can say they are "more informed" when it comes to the news. I wish that helped make em nicer, more Christlike people.

Exactly. Political conservatives think politcal liberals are uninformed and stupid for believing the way they do. And political liberals think political conservatives are wrongly informed by Sean, Rush and Fox News and stupid for believing the way they do.

Which is irrelevant to the point of the op. You need to go back and read the op looking for its primary point rather than just commenting on others posts. That way you do not just miss the point.

You are such a hoot Rev. You bring much laughter to my life and laughter is good for our health.

The 0.7 is relevant as that is what the pole shows the margin of difference to be. That margin is nothing as just about any pole I have ever seen has a margin of error of 2 to 4. What you are trying to argue is meaningless as in reality there is no difference.

Of course it also depends on the questions asked. They can be biased to favor one side or the other.

Sorry Rev. but you have posted nothing of value in the OP.

It also has to do with who even bothers to take the pole in the first place. I doubt the academic elite of our country are spending time taking "intelligence quizzes" on the internet.

Not to mention it's a 12 question quiz! Certainly not something comprehensive enough to judge someone's "News IQ".

"Because of the opprobrious epithet "liberal," today they call themselves “moderates.” A skunk by any other name still stinks!"
