Great work!!!
And Andrew fell for it?
Good work!
Nice Job. Hoax’s like this just show the depths hoaxers(leftist Cs er’s) will go to, to attack and vilify Conservatives.
Perhaps, the physicians and other professionals should form a network of guardians against lay conservatives making fools of themselves responding to issues they don’t comprehend? Or, maybe we’d only make things worse, because at this point Camp Treblinka in Brooklyn NY wouldn’t surprise me?
You linked to the video. Could you link to Andrew’s article? I’d like to read it.
That study might be fake, but this isn’t:

Just sayin’
At the risk of belaboring the obvious, you did pass your findings on to Breitbart, didn’t you?
I kind of wondered about that one. It sounded pretty much like The Onion, the way it was written. I wouldn’t put it past the APA to publish something like that, to fill up the space left when they decided that gayness was not a mental disorder. But they’d do it a bit less comically than that.
Anyway, I didn’t post a comment on it, I don’t think.
The misfortune of quoting obscure, expensive journals and being too cheap to subscribe. Now they are getting the free press and “authority” they sought in the first place. The trouble with being conservative is that logic can actually influence your opinion.
By CBS logic, the hoax goes to prove the bias of the other side. The mere fact that it was a hoax by left wing conspirators makes it true that anybody living on government grants has a bias toward the government. Where’s the witch hunt for the hoaxers? Problem Solved.
AZ Conservative has competition.
This might be a parody of a real study that was posted in Science Daily last November, from the American Psychological Association. (Originally published in the APA’s Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.)
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/11/111121142446.htm
Headlined by ‘Reason’ as “New Study: People Outsource Their Ignorance to Government”.
“The less people know about important complex issues such as the economy, energy consumption and the environment, the more they want to avoid becoming well-informed, according to new research published by the American Psychological Association.”

Shyness, grieving soon to be classified as mental illness
It was either pulled or the search features sucks (again)
Thanks for the additional research contribution.
If you had the original FR thread post-count, why did you not post the link??? And cross-post your thread??? That’s how FR research “should” work (along with appropriate “keywords”-—HINT: keyword “vanity” is not helpful for FR research of the subject under discussion)
The original thread:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2844698/posts
BTW: The thread has been pulled. Admin Mod says it is “under review,” BUT posts in that thread had already posted that Breitbart may have been hoaxed and cited the same absence of corroboration from the alleged source.
I would like to add that this hoax is disinformation, and as such, if perpetrated by a leftist or government employee, it fails to disprove the theory, by the facts being false.
Thanks so much for doing so. Sadly to say I am finding so many on FreeRepublic only read the first few lines of the article then start posting comments.
Also I find that my conservative friends keep passing around these phoney e-mails as if they are complete truth. They don't take the time to check them out. :-(
A ‘companion’ piece. Bretbart on a roll?

Very good work. We need more critical thinking around here.
On the other hand, it doesn’t sound that different from this real study: http://www.livescience.com/18132-intelligence-social-conservatism-racism.html
You can find plenty of threads on FR going back years where the first half of the thread is filled with outrage and the second half filled with mocking as it becomes evident the “news” was from semi-satire or better yet, the Onion.
