Why are liberals and conservatives so stupid?

If you've recognized the question you can probably find the answer. People are just too concerned over stupid things like that. It's almost like asking why does a guy love football or why does that lady want to have D&G shoes?

Liberals are monkeys.

Because liberals have so much love to give to everybody. They're sort of like Michael Jackson, in that they try to give it to the wrong people. So well intentioned, yet so misunderstood.\n\nWhere as conservatives rely too much on rational thinking to form opinions. Curse this brain of mine! Curse it!

Because they are jealous! Right-wingers (or repubs) are generally far less educated and less intellegent than the average liberal (left wingers). Repubs are very narrow sighted and look at things in black and white vision. Therefore they insult everything and everyone smarter and more sophisticated than themselves to make themselves feel more important than the stupid uneducated narrow minded folk that they are. Just like a bully in the third grade who is too dumb to know any better.

Now, now. They're not stupid, even if they act like they are. They're just over-emotional and have made their political beliefs into their religious beliefs.\n\nAnd their litergy tell them that 'Bush is dumb' and 'Bush is evil' and 'Bush is lying'. And they then get angry because they cannot reconcile reality to their political religion, and they collectively do the Howard Dean scream - Aaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhh.\n\nAnd because it is their religion, when you dispute them, you are attacking their faith, which automatically makes you evil and wrong. No logic or facts required.\n\nThere just aren't enough deprogrammers to help them all.

I believe this is true for any political party anywhere in the world, don't you? I mean, you have O'Reilly blaming everything on the liberals, Al Franken blaming everything on the conservatives....and that's just in the US. And frankly, we're all so busy blaming each other that nothing will improve! People are far too stupid to look into the facts and get a real, intelligent argument going. They will parrot anything their party tells them to. This is not a phenomenon that is exclusive to liberals.

Republicans are stupid. Well let me modify that statement. The republican leaders are brilliant. They, by hook or by crook (more crook than hook) found a way to get in power and change things to their advantage. But the republican voter is an ass. I read somewhere, middle class voting republican is like turkeys voting for thanksgiving. These misborn misfits have little education, base all their decisions on religion, misquote the bible and pretend they are superior beings.\nSuperior my foot.\nBeing stupid they don't understand logic. To them logic is what someone in authority tells them. If you confront them with true logic, they get confused and resort to name calling to hide their stupidity. And the republican leaders do an awesome job keeping these poor idiots in the dark forever. No science education, teach them religion, fill their mind with foolish ideas, burden them with children, take away their money...\n\nI mean how can you argue with a shithead who thinks the world was created in 6 days some 6000 years ago!!??!

Maybe because they listen to the spew of the media without knowing truly about what really happens. Maybe because they would rather follow an agenda than use some common sense. Maybe because they are so willing to buy into anything that supports their uninformed opinion based on little real life experience.\n\nWho knows why the liberals are like they are.

Saying "convservatives" or "liberals" are uneducated is a gross generalisation. It always means that the person saying it has encountered a head strong idiot with particular views that oppose theirs. \n\nThat said, most self proclaimed "conservatives" or "liberals" are idiots. Nothing wrong with having views on an issue, but ask yourself how you came to have those views. \n\nAs Chris Rock once said: "Any person who declares a stance on an issue before examining the issue itself is an idiot."

you bring up a very good point. thanks to years and years of deliberate misinformation and demonization of liberals by the right-wing media, most of what republicans believe about liberals bears little resemblance to reality. they believe a bunch of myths and stereotypes that are repeated over and over until in the conservative mind they become "fact" - i.e. there's a liberal bias in the mainstream media, liberal bogeymen want to come and take away all your guns, republicans are more fiscally conservative (see current administration), liberals are anti-family, liberals don't support the troops, liberals are pro-abortion, liberals are elitist snobs, liberals in reality hate america, and as stated in the post before mine, liberals have no ideas... etc., etc., etc...\nWHY do they choose to believe silly myths and hateful stereotypes? because they're easily manipulated & have an innate need for some "other" that they can feel superior to.
