Putting a Klan photo at the top probably did not help either. Joel Send a noteboard - 05/02/2012 12:53:45 AM
I mean, conservatism? Really? What's this gonna do besides cause a shit-storm?

Yeah, I kinda figured that, but our resident ignorant big—er, reasonable conservatives have been rather restrained, given how loaded the presentation was. Even the Huff Post author seemed to realize a lot of this was going to be in the eye of the beholder, and it is difficult to say how much of the studys findings were coincidental. Except for those who pretend any behavior is excused by an opposing example similar in type, if not degree, there is not much debate over bigots disproportionately identifying with the right, but that has little bearing on whether the right disproportionately identifies with bigots, secretly, subconsciously or otherwise. This study does not really change that, and I expect its authors would readily agree.

You probably still should not lead off tomorrows sermon with it though.

I think ... Nate - 03/02/2012 09:28:02 PM 1247 Views
I agree. nossy - 03/02/2012 10:48:25 PM 1994 Views
Yeah, I am unsure whether to be impressed or disappointed. Joel - 05/02/2012 02:38:05 AM 2186 Views
That is a logical and reasonable assessment. Joel - 04/02/2012 08:59:59 PM 2206 Views
Pretty sure hes saying liberals are pedophiles and I for one am not at all suprised! *NM* Urza - 04/02/2012 09:23:58 PM 1506 Views
An extreme case of eye of the beholder. Joel - 05/02/2012 01:39:04 AM 1969 Views
You think very well. Gher - 05/02/2012 04:12:11 AM 2001 Views
note: "social conservatives", not "fiscal conservatives" Tom - 03/02/2012 09:37:18 PM 2010 Views
I've wondered: Nate - 03/02/2012 09:55:14 PM 2027 Views
It bothers the living fuck out of me Tom - 03/02/2012 10:59:01 PM 1987 Views
Just wait ten years Isaac - 03/02/2012 11:21:25 PM 1938 Views
Oh, I still vote Republican. Tom - 04/02/2012 01:49:43 AM 1958 Views
Re: Oh, I still vote Republican. Isaac - 04/02/2012 01:15:10 PM 2021 Views
Actually, I could be an enthusiastic Democrat on principle, if any elected Dems would join me. Joel - 05/02/2012 01:49:48 AM 2155 Views

Primary voting age is pretty high for both parties compared to general election, GOP a bit higher Isaac - 04/02/2012 12:22:44 PM 2011 Views
The two tend to go together, though it is far from a hard and fast rule. Joel - 04/02/2012 11:50:03 PM 2069 Views
By referencing it… Jeordam - 03/02/2012 10:50:59 PM 1880 Views
That's an odd idea. Nate - 03/02/2012 11:10:31 PM 1956 Views
It was a mostly facetious comment…. Jeordam - 03/02/2012 11:49:28 PM 1362 Views
Clearly you endorse it. Dannymac - 05/02/2012 02:23:41 AM 1060 Views
Only endorsing its validity, not its soundness. *NM* Dan - 04/02/2012 02:24:24 AM 608 Views
Not really; again, I took no position, just thought it might prompt some entertaining conversation. Joel - 05/02/2012 12:02:44 AM 1106 Views
Tempting... Isaac - 03/02/2012 11:17:43 PM 1225 Views
I expected no less. Joel - 05/02/2012 12:25:14 AM 1247 Views
Still fun though Isaac - 05/02/2012 01:30:26 AM 1338 Views
Well, that is the main thing. Joel - 05/02/2012 02:25:36 AM 1367 Views
Well, racists are dumb. What's to discuss? ironclad - 04/02/2012 01:23:27 AM 1068 Views
I think that generally agreed, though we need a study PROVING what we already know. Joel - 05/02/2012 12:41:26 AM 1356 Views
Proving is something you do in maths, not science. jh - 05/02/2012 09:05:30 AM 1060 Views
So the Moon might still be made of green cheese? Joel - 05/02/2012 10:20:57 AM 1172 Views
Yes. It is not very likely, though, since no measurement we have done so far indicates that it is so jh - 05/02/2012 02:28:18 PM 1023 Views
Oh, let us not go THERE. Joel - 05/02/2012 02:54:30 PM 1244 Views
Bad comparison Isaac - 05/02/2012 03:36:12 PM 1128 Views
Well, that last part will make sure this gets ugly.... Dannymac - 04/02/2012 02:05:11 AM 971 Views
Do you not think it's true then? rebelaessedai - 04/02/2012 07:32:13 AM 1325 Views
Same here *NM* ironclad - 04/02/2012 12:13:44 PM 562 Views
Not in my experience. Dannymac - 04/02/2012 04:17:01 PM 1163 Views
Granted, you do move in different circles than I (or Jens, for that matter.) rebelaessedai - 04/02/2012 10:24:52 PM 1200 Views
Corfirmational bias much? Stephen - 04/02/2012 04:25:24 PM 1114 Views
I did mention that I didn't care enough to look into it. rebelaessedai - 04/02/2012 10:22:09 PM 1218 Views
As a few others have noted, it is important to preserve the causality chain. Joel - 05/02/2012 02:35:02 AM 1122 Views
I dont see that it matters. rebelaessedai - 13/02/2012 01:40:45 AM 1409 Views
In terms of policy, it probably does not; in terms of demographics, it definitely does. Joel - 13/02/2012 02:52:23 AM 1255 Views
Putting a Klan photo at the top probably did not help either. Joel - 05/02/2012 12:53:45 AM 1246 Views
this sort of "science" is so easily and often slanted it doesn't really merit arguement Ray - 04/02/2012 04:23:14 AM 1188 Views
Groundhog 2012! Nate - 04/02/2012 05:15:31 AM 1158 Views
screw the groundhog, we have been in the high 60's all week Ray - 04/02/2012 09:28:38 PM 1011 Views
Bah, you sound like a liberal arguing against lower black IQ test scores. *NM* Cannoli - 04/02/2012 07:00:43 AM 1049 Views
Well, I will certainly agree anyone with half a brain can see through Fox "News." Joel - 05/02/2012 01:37:35 AM 1274 Views
