I know I am on this “Expelled” trip. But to add to the discussion at hand, I believe in general, the left wing intellectuals’ level of dishonesty and stupidity far exceeded the rights’ in the last hundred years. The embrace of various totalitarian movements that didn’t respect the human rights of the people is crime against humanity. Besides, whole schools of social science were created by the left to advance their causes yet were never properly vetted in any scientific way. Such as, does poverty cause crime or the reverse?
But as far as the popular punditocracy, the intellectual level and honesty of the ones on the right has dropped considerably over the years to the level of gossip magazine; cheap shots and name calling. For example, I disagree with Alan Colmes on most issues but I’d rather listen to his show than his partner’s, who seems to be all about stupid slogans, vacusos claims of greatness and whatever Drudge or Rush served up for today’s outrage.
