How Smart Are Liberals?
There are some interesting clues in this story, 'Hardball' Host Takes Hard Knocks From Right and Left, By Nathan Burchfiel, CNSNews.com Correspondent, December 28, 2005. It seems that both the "left" and the "right" do not think much of the intellectual light-weight, Chris Matthews.
Matthews received the coveted "Crazy Chris Award for Chris Matthews' Left-Wing Lunacy," for the classic pseudo intellectual progressive liberal demoracist observation that anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan, "sound[s] more informed than most U.S. Congress people.” He also suggested that she run for office. This award was part of the annual "Best of Notable Quotables," from Brent Bozell's Media Research Center.
We go to the criticism of the "left" to answer the question of "how smart are liberals?" Media Matters for America awarded Matthews the "Misinformer of the Year" award. Obviously out of concern for the limited intellectual capacity of knee jerk liberals they harpooned Matthews for not making clear that a guest may be a dreaded Republican while emphasizing progressive liberal guests’ credentials. Are they saying that progressive liberals have difficulty identifying who is "left" and whose "right" without help?
Even more critical to answering the question are the Media Matters for America's criticisms of some Matthew's quotes about President Bush that are taken out of context. These people are a hoot. Go read the article for yourself to answer the question and have a good laugh.

I would say that the President Bush administration is smart enough to be in charge all the way up to 2008. What do you think?
mr ducky's optimism has at least one major flaw. No matter what happens in the next couple of years, the Republicans will still be running against "Democrats". And what have they done lately? How does Pelosi's inane blather help make anyone in their party more "electable" than people who have actually "been governing"?
The problem with the democrats in Congress is that they think their role is that of "reporters", and not legislators (the Dean strategy). And we all know where the "press" stands in terms of public esteem. I've heard it's even lower than their esteem for members of Congress...
Congress's approval ratings"

Mathews is a liberal unless you are Joe Stalin or Fidel Castro. Wait aren't you big fans of theirs.
Hmm
How did we get from Mathews to Iraq ?
