Even the Yale researcher who discovered this information is amazed.
Pigs are flying and lost souls in Hell are buying snowblowers and it's all because we learned that self-identified Tea Partiers have an aptitude for science.
Yes, that's right, Yale professor and researcher Daniel M. Kahan concluded this week that Tea Partiers have a better comprehension of science than that of their right-wing counterparts. Somehow, this graph proves it:
Hindsight is, of course, 20/20. So let's look back at what some Tea Baggers on the
House Committee on Science and Technology have said recently:
Committee Member Todd Akin on fertilization:
“It seems to be, first of all, from what I understand from doctors, it’s really rare. If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut the whole thing down.”
Committee Member Paul Broun on creation:
“All that stuff I was taught about evolution and embryology and the Big Bang Theory, all that is lies straight from the pit of Hell."
Committee Member Dana Rohrabacher on global warming causes:
"It could be dinosaur flatulence. Who knows?"
As we said, hindsight is 20/20. And, looking back at transcripts from the Science Committee through fresh lenses, we have to agree - these Tea Baggers
really do have a better grasp of science than their Republican counterparts.
