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 1317 Views
I agree. nossy - 03/02/2012 10:48:25 PM 2062 Views
Yeah, I am unsure whether to be impressed or disappointed. Joel - 05/02/2012 02:38:05 AM 2239 Views
That is a logical and reasonable assessment. Joel - 04/02/2012 08:59:59 PM 2301 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 1549 Views
An extreme case of eye of the beholder. Joel - 05/02/2012 01:39:04 AM 2029 Views
You think very well. Gher - 05/02/2012 04:12:11 AM 2064 Views
note: "social conservatives", not "fiscal conservatives" Tom - 03/02/2012 09:37:18 PM 2072 Views
I've wondered: Nate - 03/02/2012 09:55:14 PM 2079 Views
It bothers the living fuck out of me Tom - 03/02/2012 10:59:01 PM 2050 Views
Just wait ten years Isaac - 03/02/2012 11:21:25 PM 2008 Views
Oh, I still vote Republican. Tom - 04/02/2012 01:49:43 AM 2036 Views
Re: Oh, I still vote Republican. Isaac - 04/02/2012 01:15:10 PM 2099 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 2220 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 2067 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 2121 Views
By referencing it… Jeordam - 03/02/2012 10:50:59 PM 1947 Views
That's an odd idea. Nate - 03/02/2012 11:10:31 PM 2020 Views
It was a mostly facetious comment…. Jeordam - 03/02/2012 11:49:28 PM 1426 Views
Clearly you endorse it. Dannymac - 05/02/2012 02:23:41 AM 1115 Views
Only endorsing its validity, not its soundness. *NM* Dan - 04/02/2012 02:24:24 AM 643 Views
Not really; again, I took no position, just thought it might prompt some entertaining conversation. Joel - 05/02/2012 12:02:44 AM 1165 Views
Tempting... Isaac - 03/02/2012 11:17:43 PM 1285 Views
I expected no less. Joel - 05/02/2012 12:25:14 AM 1310 Views
Still fun though Isaac - 05/02/2012 01:30:26 AM 1407 Views
Well, that is the main thing. Joel - 05/02/2012 02:25:36 AM 1446 Views
Well, racists are dumb. What's to discuss? ironclad - 04/02/2012 01:23:27 AM 1142 Views
I think that generally agreed, though we need a study PROVING what we already know. Joel - 05/02/2012 12:41:26 AM 1416 Views
Proving is something you do in maths, not science. jh - 05/02/2012 09:05:30 AM 1118 Views
So the Moon might still be made of green cheese? Joel - 05/02/2012 10:20:57 AM 1234 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 1086 Views
Oh, let us not go THERE. Joel - 05/02/2012 02:54:30 PM 1311 Views
Bad comparison Isaac - 05/02/2012 03:36:12 PM 1187 Views
Well, that last part will make sure this gets ugly.... Dannymac - 04/02/2012 02:05:11 AM 1043 Views
Do you not think it's true then? rebelaessedai - 04/02/2012 07:32:13 AM 1392 Views
Same here *NM* ironclad - 04/02/2012 12:13:44 PM 606 Views
Not in my experience. Dannymac - 04/02/2012 04:17:01 PM 1224 Views
Granted, you do move in different circles than I (or Jens, for that matter.) rebelaessedai - 04/02/2012 10:24:52 PM 1267 Views
Corfirmational bias much? Stephen - 04/02/2012 04:25:24 PM 1181 Views
I did mention that I didn't care enough to look into it. rebelaessedai - 04/02/2012 10:22:09 PM 1276 Views
As a few others have noted, it is important to preserve the causality chain. Joel - 05/02/2012 02:35:02 AM 1190 Views
I dont see that it matters. rebelaessedai - 13/02/2012 01:40:45 AM 1481 Views
In terms of policy, it probably does not; in terms of demographics, it definitely does. Joel - 13/02/2012 02:52:23 AM 1323 Views
Putting a Klan photo at the top probably did not help either. Joel - 05/02/2012 12:53:45 AM 1309 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 1252 Views
Groundhog 2012! Nate - 04/02/2012 05:15:31 AM 1219 Views
screw the groundhog, we have been in the high 60's all week Ray - 04/02/2012 09:28:38 PM 1086 Views
Bah, you sound like a liberal arguing against lower black IQ test scores. *NM* Cannoli - 04/02/2012 07:00:43 AM 1080 Views
Well, I will certainly agree anyone with half a brain can see through Fox "News." Joel - 05/02/2012 01:37:35 AM 1340 Views
