Whatever its origins, there seems to be an innate desire among many
lefties to classify those who disagree with their belief system as
mentally, morally, or psychologically inferior—or preferably all three. This being the case, it should come as no surprise that in addition to
cooking up real academic studies using biased questionnaires designed to
make conservatives look stupid, statists also have a habit of getting
taken in by fake “studies” which validate their alleged superiority.
Perhaps the most famous such hoax involved the fictitious Lovenstein Institute and a ranking of presidential IQ
which supposedly showed former president George W. Bush as having the
lowest intelligence of all presidents in the 50 years preceding him.
Gleeful statists repeated this meme on numerous blogs and even in some
newspapers, never bothering to check whether or not a Lovenstein
Institute actually existed. Fast forward to 2012 and once again, the
left has been taken in by another hoax “study,” a press release from a
fictitious Intelligence Institute which claimed that the average IQ of
Fox News Channel viewers is 80, 20 points below the standard IQ of 100.
Two weeks ago, Oscar-winning actor Jamie Foxx made national headlines when he called President Obama "Our lord and savior."
While hosting NBC's Saturday Night Live this weekend, Foxx
joked about how in his new film "Django Unchained," "I kill all the
white people in the movie. How great is that?" (video follows with
