Video Update: Those Brain Damaged Republicans

On December 30, I posted Is Being Republican a Brain Defect?, discussing the British study that indicates that primitive brain functions are more prominent in right wingers, while higher brain functions are more prominent in lefties. One of our readers, who shall remain Nameless, followed with an excellent link to an article about John Dean, author of Conservatives without Conscience. It doesn’t usually take Keith Olbermann this long to catch up to things I post, but he has an excuse. He’s been on vacation. Winking smile Here’s Keith with John Dean.

Now I’m not suggesting that the Republican base should be lobotomized or anything like that, and I recognize that, even if this research pans out, individuals have the ability to overcome such physiological propensities. But at least the knowledge might spare lefties some frustration by explaining why trying to talk sense with a Teabagger can be like trying to talk haute cuisine with a cannibal.
