Origins: No,
this isn't a real news report, nor does it describe a real study. There isn't a "Lovenstein Institute" in Scranton, Pennsylvania (or anywhere else in the USA), nor do any of the people quoted in the story exist, because this is just another spoof that was taken too seriously.
The article quoted above began circulating on the Internet during the summer of 2001. In furtherance of the hoax, later that year pranksters thought to register www.lovenstein.org and erect a web site around it in an attempt to fool people into thinking there really was such an institute.
The piece is simply a political jibe, made obvious by its ranking all the Democratic presidents of the last several decades as having high (even exceptionally high) IQs (note that Bill Clinton's IQ is listed as being exactly twice George W. Bush's) while ranking all the Republican presidents from the same time frame as average to moderate in intelligence, with the current president and his father assigned below-average figures placing them at the very bottom of the list. (President Nixon is the sole exception, presumably because his reputation is still so tarnished that not even a high IQ measurement can yet redeem him in the court of public opinion.)

First of all, this does nothing for your claim. First thing Libral isn't a word, it is Liberal not libral. And secondly, stoopid isn't a word, there fore that makes the title of imbosilic question, fall upon you. I am sorry to say that this sounds just like a anti-left wing claim. I believe liberals are not stupid, look at Howard Dean, Jim Jeffords who had been a republican but suceeded from the Republican party (he was a house member when he did so) becomming a member of the independent party and voting as a democrat.
I come from the state of Vermont, and Vermont is a pretty much a Liberal state. This to me sounds like an un-educated and idiotic claim that someone who doesn't even know the meaning of Liberal and Conservative came up with.
A quote to go along with it. Looks like the Pot is calling the Kettle a Black.

Persianprince is correct. There is no Lovenstein Institute in ANY country served by Dun & Bradstreet, never mind Scranton, PA.
So unless Donie can give us another source, his IQ numbers are useless.

Look who is calling who what. Learn to use the spell check, if nothing else.
