I likes me some Sarah, duhhhh, because she stands fer Amurican values, duhhh, like freedumb and stuff.
More misinformed and fearful than dumb, but yeah; they’re more than willing to follow her like she’s the Brood Queen.
Can these people really vote ? It’s about time that we had an IQ test prerequisite for voting.
The difference between these people and Sarah Palin? None of them was ever Governor of Alaska. Aside from that? Hard to say. They all have their stock of buzz words and phrases they repeat without really understanding what they mean, and, like Sarah, most of them can’t even manage to put them into a complete sentence. She’s just like they are, only glamorous. No wonder they love her.
Years of Republican stinginess on public education has finally paid off. The electorate is dumb as stumps.
‘Years of Republican stinginess on public education has finally paid off. The electorate is dumb as stumps.’
At least stumps know when they’re getting pissed on.
Do they? That would be really, really amazing if it were true. Sentient stumps. Huh.
Couldn’t bear to watch past the two minute mark. Did anyone finally come right out and admit they like her because she pisses the hippies off?
“Can these people really vote ? It’s about time that we had an IQ test prerequisite for voting.”
LOL,
That’ll put a bit of a cramp on ACORN’s action. Will asians get to vote twice?
There are plenty of dumb Asians, AO. Michelle Malkin, for example.
And don’t you worry about ACORN. Whatever elections they aren’t able to get around to stealing, George Soros can take care of.
Holy sheep shit. That is absolutely precious.
“There are plenty of dumb Asians, AO. Michelle Malkin, for example”
Perhaps, but odds are she’s more intelligent than you are. The assumption being you’re neither jewish or asian.
“Years of Republican stinginess on public education has finally paid off. The electorate is dumb as stumps”
A better example would be after decades of inept unionized educators (part of the Democrat’s coalition core) the electorate, dumb as stumps, elects a socialist named Barry.
LOL,
That’ll put a bit of a cramp on ACORN’s action. Will asians get to vote twice?-
Leave it to AO to wade into racist territory.
Seriously though, this sort of stupid burns. Rather than be aghast by this sort of stupidity, people like AO embrace it and change the subject because they can’t defend this sort of cult worship.
Did GW Bush champion any policies that you would define as “Socialist” Yes or no?
Like I have been saying. The idiots all get together and choose the head idiot to lead the way forward (backward). Man, you wanna talk about some real bat shit crazy people, it’s these people. Dumber then a rock and the sad thing is they think they’re normal, they think they’re “real” Americans. The uninformed, ignorant and just plain stupid gather together and serve tea. I don’t wanna just sit here and heave insults against these rejects, but I also don’t want to tip toe around the facts, I really think these people are devolving. (Thats a word, right?)
Leave it to AO to wade into racist territory.
Wading? Looks more like a triple gainer to me.
Wait, is this the Onion? Or reality?
Is the corollary of AO’s “Asians and Jews are smarter” that blacks and whites are dumber? Couldja rank ‘em for us AO? Does it go Asians, Jews, Whites, Blacks? Or Jews, Asians, Whites, Blacks? Where do Latinos go? Between Whites and Blacks? So much to ponder.
And then explain to me that racism is something different than this type of thing.
Don’t forget to throw in Pacific Islanders, Middle Easterners, Arabs, Native Americans, Inuits, South American Indians, Australian Aboriginies, Mongols… there are just so many more for AO to determine their intelligence. And since he’s so smart, he shouldn’t have a problem.
Same here Quaker. I looked at the time and said, “Good Lord, there’s 8 minutes of this???”
Hey AO, do you still have that cranium measuring tool? Could come in handy when you for that “whose smartest list.” Fool.
Hey AO, do you still have that cranium measuring tool? Could come in handy for that “whose smartest list.” Fool.
Corrected version.
I don’t know about dumb — they obviously have not been reading Paul Krugman (thank God!) — but they sound like they know what is important, and they sound like Pres Obama is not doing it, and a Pres Palin just might.
One guy even said he was afraid there wasn’t going to be another Presidential Election. Didn’t I hear that over and over again about Pres Bush?
All you “smart” voters gave us Pres Obama, who is destined to make Pres Carter look good.
Frank said, “they sound like they know what is important.”
I listened twice and heard many more “I dunnos” and “I can’t says” more than anything of significant substance when asked to articulate on specific policies of Palin’s they liked. I do remember one remarkable woman who could recite the “Drill, baby, drill” mantra.
Since they can’t really articulate on policy matters, how do they know Pres Obama’s not doing it, or that a Pres. Palin would? You’re grasping for straws here.
Even though I only suspect that Frank voted for Bush II the first time around, I can’t really blame him. The Supreme Court I can blame, but not Frank. He’s just like the rest of these guys in the video.
locus, a “smart” voter
I didn’t vote for Pres Apology Obama , precisely because I was smart enough to know what he intended.
If you think that Pres Bush won the first election because of the Supreme Court, you are not as smart as you think you are.
You are also probably one of the folks who turned off the clip at 2 minutes.
You guys really think you ARE smarter than everyone else, don’t you?
Heh.
Quaker,
Perhaps I am just hedging a bit. Maybe by AO’s standards that statements IS a triple gainer but not a triple Lindy.
Shorter Frank-
“I already told you intellectual incurious is a good thing!”
You are right about one thing Frank or at least your phraseology is correct: what is “important” to them. Much in the same way a heroin addict finds heroin important, they have basic needs-empty rhetoric, fear, and hatred of people not like themselves. The sad part is this idiocy is just a reflection of why some people vote. Do you like having an uninformed public? Maybe it makes me an elitist snob but I don’t wish that for our country.
know what he intended-
I could be wrong but the word “intentions” seems like you know what is in his heart, which doesn’t take a genius, just someone who knows him. I am guessing you don’t know.
Being smarter than someone else is not important. Most normal folks don’t care about that much, but speaking with authority and being ill-informed or NOT informed at all is not something you should cheer lead. This sort of promotion of ignorance to basic fact and information is what makes this country “less of a beacon to the world” as one man in the video said.
All you “smart” voters gave us Pres Obama, who is destined to make Pres Carter look good.
Frank, let me ask you a simple, honest question. When was the last time you were right about anything?
LOL,
The question of varying intelligence levels between different races is the epitome of politically incorrect. That doesn’t mean the question doesn’t have an answer. The top three are ashkenazi jews, asians, and garden variety white europeans. I expect the usual blather from the peanut gallery, do try and bring a few facts with you.
I don’t think I’m smarter than everybody else. I know that I am smarter than you, and I also know that I am smarter than virtually every Palin supporter.
But that’s not everybody. That’s what, 30% of Americans?
Yes, I am comfortable with that assessment.
The top three are ashkenazi jews, asians, and garden variety white europeans.
I would LOVE to see the scientific evidence for this, AO. Please provide it.
As it is, I don’t think it’s out there.
And this is coming from someone that doesn’t reflexively vomit when considering the idea that “all races” may be unequal in intelligence. But that said, any differences between races would likely be (a) very small, (b) very difficult to measure, and (c) very, very dependent on the operational definition of “intelligence” you use.
“Intelligence” is not an easy behavioral characteristic to latch onto. It’s not like you can measure the speed that someone reads a paper, or someone’s accuracy at simple math, etc., to get an “Intelligence” measure. Yet you just throw out this tripe as though it is gospel, that the jews, asians, and white Europeans are clearly the most intelligent.
You’re an idiot.
“The top three are ashkenazi jews, asians, and garden variety white europeans.”
Sometimes if you wait, he’ll top himself.
‘Do they? That would be really, really amazing if it were true. Sentient stumps. Huh.’
Sarcasm man, sarcasm.
Even without the sentience, stumps have more going on upstairs than Palin supporters.
‘A better example would be after decades of inept unionized educators (part of the Democrat’s coalition core) the electorate, dumb as stumps, elects a socialist named Barry.’
You guys have nothing; worse than nothing.
You’ve got Palin.
‘do try and bring a few facts with you
Look who’s talking.
Mambo,
To act like you are unaware of the bodies of work behind the controversy is just just a wee bit disingenuous don’t you think. The last real public airing of the subject in popular view was in the 90′s when people argued about The Bell Curve ad nauseam.
If you really want access to the science surrounding the topic, which you don’t, google it yourself. The politically correct come up with all sorts of compelling reasons why it isn’t so yet in the end does it really matter? As Forest Gump’s mother put it so succintly “Stupid is as stupid does.”
Your accussations that I am just throwing it out there are, like most of what you assert, bullshit. When dealing with what is in most cases common knowledge one doesn’t use foot notes in casual conversation. What I mentioned regarding racial intelligence is hardly a secret or hard to find. You on the other hand are prone to making all sorts of rash remarks regarding other’s intelligence rhat are purely the subjective viewpoint of a closed mind that don’t hold up to the simplest examination.
But then again you are a hack.
I wonder if she ran off with their money without singing their books here, too.
By the way, I’m an Ashkenazi Jew, and you’re wrong.
Try and wrap your head around that one.
There is a theory that God gave his chosen people poor political sense as an equalizer for the others, you may be a prime example. The bell curve being what it is, odds are you are in the middle not the far left hand side.
I…I don’t know how to respond to this. I have, honestly, never seen such idiocy and assholishness condensed so finely. It’s the perfect storm of everything that is wrong with mankind, in that there is a macabre beauty behind the cerebral horror of your prose. You have somehow managed to condense ignorance, arrogance, and racism in less time it takes most people to describe the weather. Anger, hatred, sorrow, pity, amusement, bemusement, I felt all of these emotions just reading your two short sentences.
I will only congratulate you on being the first person to successfully turn douchebaggery into an art form.
If you really want access to the science surrounding the topic, which you don’t, google it yourself.
No. Fuck you, AO. If you’re going to come in here and start making outlandish statements, back them up. And despite what you may say or think, it’s not blatantly obvious nor common knowledge that there are significant differences in intelligence between races. So put up or shut up, troll.
Your accussations that I am just throwing it out there are, like most of what you assert, bullshit.
Um, no. You just casually threw it out there, like throwing a pack of wolves a steakbone. Let me quote you:
The question of varying intelligence levels between different races is the epitome of politically incorrect. That doesn’t mean the question doesn’t have an answer. The top three are ashkenazi jews, asians, and garden variety white europeans. I expect the usual blather from the peanut gallery, do try and bring a few facts with you.
Yes, that’s just about the definition of “throwing it out there”, you stupid hack. Give me some evidence. I’m ready to learn. Bring it on.
When dealing with what is in most cases common knowledge one doesn’t use foot notes in casual conversation.
Not common knowledge, at ALL. If you want verification of this, you should go to Time Square in NYC and start asking people at random. Do tell what happens.
You on the other hand are prone to making all sorts of rash remarks regarding other’s intelligence rhat are purely the subjective viewpoint of a closed mind that don’t hold up to the simplest examination.
See, there’s a key difference between us. I call people on this board idiots when they are acting like idiots. Coming on here and saying stupid shit is a sure-fire way for me to jump to the conclusion that you are a grade-A moron. And you have corroborated that observation over, and over, and over again. There are very few things that you say that don’t read like they are coming from someone with a subpar IQ. Idiot.
But then again you are a hack.
The irony is so thick, I could cut it with a knife.
Not common knowledge, at ALL
AO’s been disproven on this by at least one or two commenters here and a vast body of actual* genetic and social research. But, you know, other than that, totally common knowledge.
*actual, in this case, meaning NOT shit slopped around the right wing blog circuit and funded by one of the usual clowns.
….and there is your triple Lindy of racist thought. AO, I never get personal on this blog because I feel I shouldn’t disparage others because I don’t know them on a personal level. For you I will make an exception. Your a racist asshole.
No, I’m curious, AO. If I want to “google it myself,” which websites should I go to? I mean, in order to find out the difference in intelligence levels between, say, the German “race” versus the Polish “race,” or the “Anglo-Saxon race” versus the “Slavic race?” Or how Askenazi Jews and Asians are smarter than, say, Mexicans?
Jesus, AO, this kind of thinking has been discredited since World War Two.
I will say it again. The dumbest of the dumb. I actually think Palin supporters are more ignorant then what this video shows. Combined IQ of a dead deer. When it’s true, it’s not an insult, it’s a fact. They like palin cause she wants em ta keep der guns!!!! An she likes da constitushin!!!!!
Once again, blather from AO that is remarkably fact free, evidence free, link free. If this common knowledge is so easy to find, FIND IT and support your outrageous assertion.
I for one, am not aware of this work you speak of and would benefit from your providing some links. If it is credible, I will understand it, being of white european stock and all.
LOL Mambo,
Methinks you protest just a little too much. You can’t possibly maintain credibility and maintain that given your profession you are unaquainted at least in passing with the works of Jensen, Murray, Lynn, Rushton and others. The book released for popular consumption The Bell Curve brought the topic noisily to mainstream consciousness over 10 years ago. Perhaps you might remember that?
“Give me some evidence. I’m ready to learn. Bring it on.”
As first stated it’s a controversial subject, tainted perhaps by the desires of many of those participating in the discussion. But it is easy to find information about the subject AS YOU WELL KNOW.
You’ve requested evidence, let me help you on your search. Go to google, hit advanced search. Type in intelligence in the exact wording box. Then type in race in the must contain box. Boom, over 29 million results. You can start there.
When you and others of your idealogical ilk so carelessly impugn the intelligence of your idealogical opposition you are just asking for observations and assertations that pop your bubble and jerk your chain. Pot meet kettle, etc. You are a poor logician Mambo, given to brash rhetorical statements that don’t bear up to close examination at all. Look at this little gem;
” I know that I am smarter than you, and I also know that I am smarter than virtually every Palin supporter.
But that’s not everybody. That’s what, 30% of Americans?
Yes, I am comfortable with that assessment.”
You may or may not be smarter than Frank. You’ve given damn little evidence to prove it but it remains plausible. But to conclude that you are smarter in effect than every Palin supporter is a stretch that can’t be made with a straight face.
LOL, your comfort is no measure of your credibility.
Arthur Jensen is one of your authorities, AO?
Link
in Jensen’s estimation, heritability of IQ was over 0.7 of the within-race IQ variability, and the 0.3 left over was due to non-shared environmental influences.
and those numbers, I might add, are largely pulled out of Jensen’s lily white a$$. He had no scientific basis for that assertion whatsoever, other than his own prejudiced observations.
More recent studies have shown that, while individual genetics does play a factor, there is no indication that genetics among populations is a significant indicator of IQ:
Ah, but there’s more:
In other words, in non-related children, genetic similarities (i.e., “race”) account for only 17% of IQ variation, while home environment can account for up to 69% of the variation.
(And, AO, note the sources… see it’s not that hard to find sourced material on the intarweb. You might try it some time.)
You’ve requested evidence, let me help you on your search. Go to google, hit advanced search. Type in intelligence in the exact wording box. Then type in race in the must contain box. Boom, over 29 million results. You can start there.
No. I want to hear from you directly what you think is credible evidence for your assertion.
so carelessly impugn the intelligence of your idealogical opposition
I do not carelessly do it. I impugn the intelligence of those who oppose my views when they do so for stupid reasons, and/or support stupid people. There are intelligent conservatives out there that I disagree with, but that I do not feel are fucking morons like yourself. But they seem to be few and far between.
You are a poor logician Mambo, given to brash rhetorical statements that don’t bear up to close examination at all.
I think that your opinion on my logic skills is analogous to Courtney Love criticizing Beethoven’s musical talents.
But to conclude that you are smarter in effect than every Palin supporter is a stretch that can’t be made with a straight face.
First off, I said “virtually” every Palin supporter. There remains a small chance that there is one or two out there – but functionally, they are nonexistent. Secondly, if you support that woman in any kind of political capacity, you are almost BY DEFINITION a dumb person. It’s like using a word to define itself – “Palin supporter” is synonymous with “idiot”. I am a lot of things, AO, but I am not stupid – so I have that going for me over them.
Frank, let me ask you a simple, honest question. When was the last time you were right about anything?
I can’t recall, but I can tell when the next time will be: You, Zython, are an ankle-biting, wise ass punk.
Getting others to Google stuff doesn’t amount to supporting an argument. Vague allusions to researchers’ names doesn’t amount to facts or evidence supporting your argument. You criticise others for being fact free yet you seem to lazy to provide facts or support for your own positions. Come on. Put up or shut up.
And are you really saying that a lot of google hits for a search term means that the search term is true proposition???
And stop with the smug “LOL” in every frickin post, especially when you are proving yourself an idiot and having your @ss handed to you.
I can’t recall,
Shocker.
wise ass
I’d rather be a wise ass than a dumbass.
You guys really think you ARE smarter than everyone else, don’t you?
Heh.
