Impossible... as conservatives obviously have no brain function to speak of.


Can't believe I got that in first.

The study is garbage. They probably did it on pretty little mac computers all the liberals own anyways.

They need to do the same study with pop-up "M" and "W" targets with a liberal and conservative both holding 30-30 lever actions. Liberals would miss both M and W.

On a serious note I am skeptical on any study NYU does. When I went to my sister-in-law's graduation most every professor had something ridiculous to say about conservatives when they took the podium. A lot of parents were booing. It was an embarrasing situation for right-leaning parents and the University in general. The things that were said were totally uncalled for.

I suppose some scepticism is warrented, although this was published in the leading peer-reviewed neuro journal. So it was OK'd by people all over the world, not just NYU.

It's a very simple and very preliminary study, but it's interesting anyway. I'm surprised noone attacked the journalist at the LA Times though...his conclusions about Bush and his Iraq obsession were not at all backed by the study...

Conservatives, such as you, have no higher brain functions. Or so I was facetiously implying.
