Wait, you're telling me this on a board where we have a thread on the front page that says "Everyone in {Party A} is dumb"? Like...in writing, where people can read it?
I asked, not asserted, if republicans had measurably lower IQ scores than democrats. it's a legitimate (though inflammatory) question which is apparently true. of a quarter million results, here are the first few unique results from the query "liberals smarter than conservatives?":

conservatives just want to dismiss the question itself rather than address it's substance and the implications of it. if you reverse the phrase, you still get basically the same results (on page one at least), except for one op-ed piece by WordlNetDaily, which i skimmed and contains fallacies.
that said, even with the data showing what they show, there are a number of grounds you could attack the results of these studies on.
