Then how do we explain colossal idiots like Maddow, Olberman, Begala, etc.?

I was reading an interesting article that looked at the differences in brain structure between samples of people who identified themselves as liberal and people who identified as conserative. The study indicates that conservatives have larger amygdalas while liberals have larger anterior cingulate cortexes.
The amygdala is involved with memory and processing emotional reactions. This suggest that conservatives are more efficient at processing threats.
The anterior cingulate cortex is involved with several autonomic functions, such as regulating blood pressure and heart rate, as well as rational cognitive functions like reward anticipation, decision-making, empathy and emotion. This means that liberals may be more efficient at managing conflicting information

This study says that liberals, on average, have higher IQ's than conservatives:

I can't wait for all of the rants about the supposed "liberal indoctrination" in higher education as a response to this thread.
The explanation is simple, free will is real, but only conservatives have it, liberals are programmed by the chemicals in their brains to believe things that have been thoroughly debunked.

Unfortunately, as is evidenced by dumbshits like you and DaGoose, these findings are contradicted.
FAIL.
Even if they really are "dumbshits." they would be very small number sin the full statistic.
Unless you want to go out and do your own study, let it go.

Why would I? The premise that Liberals are smarter than Conservatives or vice versa is idiotic.

Maddow? Examples?
Olbermann, very left. Begala? Don't know who the hell that is. Maddow's a "colossal idiot"? Please give an example!
I don't agree with everything that O'Reilly or Van Susteran says, but stupid they are not.

No, this one "proved" that black women are less attractive.Wow, is this like that "Bell Curve" book that stated blacks were stupid because they were the ones that got caught? Is this written by the same author?

I would say that the premise of any study that claims one group is more intelligent than another is idiotic. As a physicist I've met other scientists who are just so stupendously stupid I can only image their parents paid for their degree to be given to them upon finding out they can drool.

You probably shouldn't let a racist do your thinking for you.
Read my signature, kid. It applies to you.
I believe you mean "technophobe", you liberal genius.Liberals also generally accept new technology while conservatives, by definition, want nothing to do with progress.
Hence the conservative title.
I do not see liberals being more intelligent, just more open minded.
Conservatives resist new technology and liberals embrace it? Why do liberals like light rail? Do you really think that something that has to run on tracks that cannot be moved works better than a bus that can take a different route to avoid problems? Doesn't it make more sense to buy 8 buses that are more flexible and can carry more people than it does to purchase a single light rail car that shuts down completely if there is an accident?
For the record, being a conservative, I oppose light rail because it sucks, not because it is new.
There is also the point that every technophile I have EVER known has been conservative. (Not necessarily republican)
Unless you lay tracks to every single driveway and parking lot, light rail will never be better than "the old shit".Also if we don't work on things like the light rail now, the technology will never advance to the point where it would be better than the old shit it is replacing.
Imagine if they had never build the car because at first it was more trouble than a horse and far more costly?

And then there's the "science" of AGW that these genius liberals so readily embrace.

Too many people enjoy the liberty of getting to where they are going on thier own terms meaning they will never give up thier autos unless forced to...funny isn't it that with the O's policies with the pipeline, and moritorium on drilling...?Unless you lay tracks to every single driveway and parking lot, light rail will never be better than "the old shit".Conservatives resist new technology and liberals embrace it?

Or it could be that a huge chunk of research in this country is paid for by the government, thus voting Democratic is job insurance.Perhaps this is why a measly 6% of scientists are Republican.

Paul Begala.
And here is but one example of just how stupid, and frankly, inept Maddow is:
