Bad news for the left wing nuts but a recent Yale study indicated that people that self identify with the Tea Party have a positive correlation in science comprehension (i.e., they are more knowledgable in the area of science than the national average). Comports pretty well with some other studies out of Columbia and UCLA that debunked the racism and intelligence charges......the former wildly overstated and the latter recently debunked by a Salon article that admitted they were more intelligent and wealthy than the general public (I know, a low bar to be sure given the reelection of TOTUS). In fact, the UCLA study slammed the media coverage as being so over the top biased that it is almost exclusively responsible for the misconception of the general public about racism in the Tea Party.

So there you have it, conventional wisdom once again proven to be abjectly false........sort of like globaloney. Now if they would only do a similar series of studies on Obamaphone owners like GF......
