[Buddha-l] Check out The Right's Stupidity Spreads, Enabled by a Too-Polite Left

[sjziobro at cs.com]

I tend to think that only one on the Left could seriously write this sort of stuff.  Note the tone of equanimity.  One major fallacy is to correlate intelligence with a particular ideology.  Intellectual honesty would lead one to note that there are plenty of highly intelligent people on the Right.  The problem with many on the Left is that they will not claim their opponents are mistaken, but that they are stupid and evil.  This isn't my general experience of the highly intelligent and articulate people on the Right.

That's probably why we don't find that right-wingers by the hundreds don't
embrace Buddhist practice. I suspect that among the Buddhist cadres they are
quite rare.
