Krugman being Krugman

"There's the great line, of course, about how his "lived experience" (see? I told you, he's doing empirical work!) confirms that motivated cognition "is not, in fact, symmetric between liberals and conservatives.

...

That Krugman is too thick to see that one can't infer anything about the quality of partisans' reasoning from the truth or falsity of their beliefs is ... another element of Krugman's proof that ideological reasoning is symmetric across right and left!"

Liberals will NOT fucking admit that we can have nutjob assholes in our midst.

We do. Our share of hotheads too. But we tend to not make them our leaders as has red team. We also seem to follow science a bit better, which means nutjobs eventually lose.

Who are the liberal analogue of these congressmen (http://billmoyers.com/segment/bill-moyers-essay-when-congressmen-deny-climate-change-and-evolution/)
