How stupid can they get?

Activist Mark Dice walked up and down a beach in California that he thought would be thick with Obama voters. He carried a clipboard with a petition to repeal the Bill of Rights and asked passers-by to support Obama by signing the petition. He kept up a patter about how the Bill of Rights is outdated and Obama has been doing all he can to get rid of it. Almost everyone he stopped signed the petition
Video with the story.

I don't think that most people of the Progressive mindset connect that coercing people to do what they want lead directly to the sort of horrors that have happened over and over in different places. Or they think that the horrors will just happen to "other people."

More like, leftest positions are generally advocated by Stupid people. The exception are Evil people that are smart, but bent on malevolent control.

I find it interesting that John Hinderaker tries to paint "sheeplike obedience", "tribal appeals", and "us vs. them" as especially belonging to the Democrats.

On the other Hand, Jonathan Haidt found in-group/loyalty and authority to be much stronger influences in conservative moral matrices.
