Duke prof claims libertarians on autism spectrum

[WillBrink]

I wish this wasn't true. I went to Duke, I work at Duke, and 95% of the place is pretty good. I already emailed the chair of the history department.

She obviously does not have a clue what a Libertarian is, seems to think they are essentially the same as far right, and can go shit in her hat. Two, I'd rather be on the spectrum disorder than a psycho:

"Turns out liberals are the real authoritarians.

A political-science journal that published an oft-cited study claiming conservatives were more likely to show traits associated with “psychoticism” now says it got it wrong. Very wrong.

The American Journal of Political Science published a correction this year saying that the 2012 paper has “an error” — and that liberal political beliefs, not conservative ones, are actually linked to psychoticism."

She's right about one thing. I don't feel any solidarity with or empathy for her.

Dat you?

The false "racist", "misogynist", "xenophobe", "Mexican hater", etc… labels aren't working out for them anymore, so anyone who opposes them or wants to uphold the principals laid out in the Constitution that made this country great is now "on the autism spectrum".

Nice. What label is next?

Things would be so much better if we all stopped thinking about what is right, and instead just followed this lady's plan for us all. She clearly knows more than us, and can tell what is best for us all. I don't know why you guys want to challenge her superior intellect.

Thanks for the rebuttal article, Will, and thanks all around for bringing this to my attention, guys--I needed something to lead this week's column with, and calling the voices of pissed-off Rightosphere down on raving psychotic seems just the thing.

Just put out the word to the crowd at RedState... maybe we can leverage some of the #NeverTrumpCrazies to good use.

Hey look, I was actually right.

Well, since there is a 99.95% probability that I rank higher than she intellectually, I believe that I'll be better off without her scatological thought process. And I'm kinda serious about there being a correlation between tenure and psychosis...

You know Duke has more people from NC than any other state?

WITH NC driver licenses? I doubt even that.

Dat you?

I'm an excellent driver. Ten minutes to Wapner!

You know, we had a vile sort like her at my alma mater. One good Fartjar strike straightened Stinkerbelle out... granted, Admin was looking for a pretext to fire her so my generous little gift of a noseful of concentrated, refined assgas was just the excuse for her dismissal.
