Don't be lulled into complacency by their stupidity--they can be vicious and crazy as well. I would no sooner turn my back on a liberal than a rabid dog.

Seeing as how liberal stupidity is a given, the question becomes one of degree—just how stupid are liberals? Are they off-the-charts stupid, or simply low-wattage-dim-bulb stupid?

Please don’t mistake my question for being merely some snarky ad hominem attack. You have only to look at the recent questioning of John Gruber by Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) in order to see the truth of things.

When Gruber called the American voters stupid and easily fooled (and he’s a frou-frou professor from MIT, so he should know) he was obviously not referring to the conservative electorate, who knew that ObamaCare was a pig in a poke from the get-go.

No, Gruber was referring to liberals, the mindless herd that gets its marching orders from NPR, “The New York Times.” and other such propaganda outlets (they don’t call them “useful idiots” for nothing).

When Gruber was recently questioned by Gowdy regarding comments that Gruber had made regarding the Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare), Gruber characterized his own comments as being variously: glib, thoughtless, stupid, arrogant, and inexcusable. (Gruber, as I am sure most everyone knows by now, was one of the chief architects of ObamaCare).

Gowdy: Do you see a trend developing here, professor Gruber?

Gruber: I don’t understand the question.

Gowdy: (That’s) a lot of stupid quotes you’ve made, that’s the trend.

Gruber: A lot of stupid and inexcusable quotes.


“Stupid and Inexcusable” is the liberal method, mantra, and motto

Bingo! Give the man a cigar and a Kewpie doll. “Stupid and Inexcusable” is the liberal method, mantra, and motto. But, wait, it gets better.

After Mr. Gowdy finished his questioning, Darrell Issa, chairman of the House Oversight Committee, asked Gruber “When you made these repeated comments, your glib inappropriate comments, in an intellectual community with lots of other like-minded people…did anyone come to you and tell you that what you were saying was inappropriate?” To which Gruber replied “Not that I can recall, no.”

As Dietrich Bonhoeffer said before his execution by Nazis in WW II, “Not to speak is to speak.” Indeed—so the “intellectual community’s” silence in the face of Gruber’s “glib, stupid, thoughtless, inexcusable” comments amounts to tacit approval. Referring to the “intellectual community’s” implied agreement with Gruber’s remarks, Issa commented “I guess what you said was popular in that community.”

And this “intellectual community” is what passes for America’s “best and brightest” these days. God help us all.

These are the “elites,” the puppet-masters that pull the strings and give the marching orders to the liberal “useful idiots.” If the puppet-masters are glib, stupid, and thoughtless, then what does that make the liberals that follow them?

Dumb as a box of rocks. (These are the people, after all, who said “but of course” when Pelosi told us that we needed to pass ObamaCare so that we could find out what was in ObamaCare). So there’s your answer to the question posed in this article’s title: just how stupid are liberals? Pretty darn stupid.

But don’t be lulled into complacency by their stupidity—they can be vicious and crazy as well. I would no sooner turn my back on a liberal than a rabid dog—but that’s the topic for another article.

I rather think they are cunning like a fox. They know what they are doing, and stupidity does not follow that line of thinking. Stupidity just does it to follow along even though one does not realize it might be wrong. This pulls in the lady next to him. She was quite clearly a "useful idiot". It was quite obvious she was well out of her range of intelligence - but not so Gruber. He knew and knows full well what he did was wrong from every stand point. And that is why he answered as he did. It was the only way he could in some small margin cover his ass.
I think, what in essence Gruber was saying to the members of Congress was a huge "middle finger".

You loved gruber last week when he was bashing the democrats and now he doesn't serve your republican agenda anymore and he's suddenly demonized.
I personnaly am not a fan of gruber, before or after, I was laughing so hard when goody looked up at him and said ,HUH? What you mean you don't remember. I'm starting to like trey gowdy! Never thought I would but I'm warming up to him. I'm sure that would confuse you if someone you branded ,liberal, or democrat, or what ever other de monistic category you wanted them in could have an open mind and listen to all the opinions of the political celebrities. It's called an open mind.

The media made a big thing about the liberal Rep. Cummings attacking Gruber, what I found ironic was that Cummings finally woke up to the fact that Gruber called him and every Democrat in the House and Senate stupid. The American voters did not vote for ObamaCare, every elected Democrat did. The only stupidity showed by the American voters was by the ones that voted for these Democrats.

Yes, that was a beautiful moment! I watched the entire thing as well, and his "AH HA" moment at the very end put the cherry on top the meringue! I think he has been the hardest nut to crack on any matter that might take some critical thinking - but this one did it! What a plus that added to the end. However, although they didn't get any real testimony from the jackass, they did get a lot of information from what he did not say; and that gives them a good reference point to start from.

Open mind? So, that is the new definition of liberalism (aka socialism) now? Open mind, by your warped opinion? Yeah, it's open alright, because there is nothing in your mind...empty...pure hot air...no grey matter...etc.

jmho, THERE IS NO LEVEL OF STUPIDITY THAT LOW FOR LIBERALISM/MARXISM.

Who loved Gruber?

A liberal caught being honest about the Democrat Party's campaign of lies is refreshing, but no conservative I know liked him.

It's the Democrats that paid him $Millions to help them lie.. They're the ones that have turned their backs on him.

I was envisioning grubers family being held at gunpoint behind the curtain while he was forced to recant!
:-) :lol:

Look up the word LIBERAL in the dictionary and see what it means.

The dictionary definition of Liberal and the politicians usage Liberalism are one hundred and eighty degrees apart. Wake up and smell the roses.
