I suspect the more someone hates, the dumber they are? Also, the smarter the hater the lower the mental health. Take Tim Hardaway, just a stupid hater. On the other hand, Louis Farrakhan and David Duke are somewhat smart people who are also obviously insane.

I don't believe that David Duke is smart, just didn't want to list 2 black people and no others.

i dont think there is a correlation.I think bigots are fuelled by their emotions and choose not to take control of them.
Y ou must read a book called 'emotional intelligence'.The book argues that emotional intelligence is more important than IQ,if one wants to have a happy balanced and succesfull life.
Consider gamblers-some are highly intelligent-they know they will lose.I suppose the difference is that those with IQ's know they will lose and accept this.Whereas those with high EQ's have enough control not to gamble in the first place.

David Duke is smart? Since when ? While hatred is dumb in that you are 100% right. There is no relation to the intelligence or lack thereof in the mind of the hater. Hate is an insecure emotional feeling due to the irrational insecurities of the person. Hate like charity begins in the home.

There is no correlation between the three. Hate is an emotion juxtaposed to love. Intelligence is relative the subject matter and one man's fool is another man's genius.
Now those that hate suffer from severe inferiority complexes. Because it takes a lot of energy to hate. For someone to hate it takes a lot of effort. As for your analogy regarding Minister Farrakhan and David Duke: I have heard both of these men speak and they shouldn't be compared because the basis of their arguments differ severely. You are (unfortunately) basing your opinion of them on what others have said of them and not on your own research. Perhaps you should not be so lazy, and do a little research. Duke bases his arguments on political issues and Farrakhan's argument is spiritual at its base. I have never heard either of them say they hated anyone. But just because they criticize some that are in positions of influence (media) they are cast into the hate category.
I don't know much about Duke, but I defy you to produce one tape of Farrakhan wherein he says he hates anyone. You won't be able to because he has never said something so ignorant. But because you get your opinion of him from those that control the information troth, you think he's a hater.
Grow up and study for yourself and stop letting big brother control your mind....~~~~W

I think that bigots are not insane and not entirely stupid, only partly so. I do consider bigots to be completely ignorant and their reluctance to face facts and accept inevitability is a sign of a diminished sense of social responsibility and therefore they could be classified as anti-social, verging on psychopathic.
