"why are conservatives/liberals so stupid?"?

Question

Just for gits and shiggles, I typed "Why are liberals so stupid" [comma] Yahoo Answers into the Google search bar.

I got 113 hits.

Then I typed in "Why are conservatives so stupid," followed by a comma and Yahoo Answers.

I got 7 hits.

Try this, if you like.

Of the 7 hits, only one Yahoo question actually asked, "Why are conservatives so stupid?"

This question was deleted by Yahoo customer care.

Of the 113 "Why are liberals so stupid," I could not find one that was deleted by Yahoo customer care.

What gives?

Personally, I think the question "Why is [insert group of people] so stupid," is a ridiculous question because a) the asker is not bound to get a real answer that somehow sheds light onto their confusion and b) the question assumes that all people in the group are stupid.

But aside from this, should Yahoo customer care treat the liberal question as it does the conservative question?

Yahoo customer care, do you all have an answer?

Answer 1

Liberals usually can't spell or formulate grammatically proper sentences. That is why, "Why are conservatives so stupid?" didn't turn up many hits.

Try:

-Y R NeoCoons sooooo stoooopid??LOL

or

-Why repukes such dum-dums?

or

-Cons r dum 4 liking bush OMG what gives???

or

-y GOP r teh ghey?

You'll probably have better luck with those.

Answer 3

I'm not the least bit surprised that it was 113 to 7. I keep meaning to do this kind of search myself every time a conservative says "well liberals are just as guilty as conservatives of this." Clearly that's not true just by reading through the questions for 2 minutes.

It's also fascinating that YA deleted the 1 liberal question and none of the 113 conservative questions. Probably because a conservative flagged the liberal question, which I guess shows that conservatives can dish it out but they can't take it.

I asked a similar question yesterday:

Answer 4

I'm not suprised. While Liberal ideas may be flawed or objectional, at least we have ideas. Meanwhile, conservatives have nothing better to do than yell at us.

Example:
I have two friends. One is Liberal, the other conservative. The liberal friend and I get along just fine, although our viewpoints sometimes disagree. Meanwhile, the conservative friend spends his time insulting us, spitting on my democrat pin (every day) and never contributes to our political discussions with anything useful.

This society has really forgotten the value of a good debate. I'd love to sit down with a conservative and really discuss our different political views, but all i'm going to hear is "Liberals are stupid! You're the devil!! I hate you!!!" etc. I try to present good arguments to people, but all they do is insult me back. I dont insult people, I just ask questions. Its not my fault if I catch you in a conundrum or a lie.

Answer 6

it is the yahoo liberal bias and libs reporting everything we hear so much about. i have been doing an informal study. i have found questions bashing cons get deleted more than those bashing libs.

Answer 7

Conservatives spit in the face of Christ and turn their back on Him.

They mock the poor and downtrodden.

It is Liberals who follow the path of Christ with tolerance and charity.

Conservatives are unchristianly pro-war and pro-money.
