Yale Professor Amazed And Embarrassed To Learn That Tea Party Members Know Their Science

Conservatives are often ridiculed for being anti-academic science deniers by their liberal detractors, but a new study from Yale may force the American left to remove accusations of scientific illiteracy from their list of smears against conservatives.

After analyzing the responses of more than 2,000 American adults recruited for a study, which indicated that people who leaned liberal are more likely to be science literate than those who leaned conservative, Yale law professor Dan Kahan found that Tea Party members are the exception.

To the professor’s surprise, he discovered that people who identified as part of the Tea Party movement were better versed in science than liberals as well as conservatives as a whole.

Kahan said that the results surprised and amazed him.

Its so funny to see these nitwits twist in the wind.

Not a surprise to this commenter  at all.    When you don't waste so much time on stupid stuff like  evolution and on politics pretending to be science  you can pick up some real hard science.
