Your link required tweaking but I assume this was the thread to which you were referring.

Take a look at this - this is from their rules page:

Do not post racist, sexist, homophobic, ethnic, anti-religious, or anti-atheist bigotry. Unambiguous expressions of bigotry will be deleted, and will often result in the immediate banning of the individual responsible.

If it is not clear whether a comment is bigoted, we will generally give the benefit of the doubt and assume the least-bigoted interpretation. However, individuals who repeatedly post borderline-bigoted comments will be considered bigots and will be removed.

This is the post in question:

What we MUST realize in order to win - Americans are stupid and uninformed

This is very important because in order to win we must understand the way the average American thinks. I'm afraid WE have nothing in common with them.

I came to the two following conclusions when I saw the large number of people who voted for Bush back in 2000.

#1 - I would dare to assume that most of us here are in the upper 1%-20% of the population intelligence-wise. We must come to the realization that the majority of the population is in the lower 80% to 99% percent of the bell-curve. WE are not the norm. The Republicans understand that the average American is not very bright. They cater and pander to the masses. The Democratic Party tries to appeal to the population about "issues" that these people just don't understand.

I've heard it said that the reason that Clinton's sex scandal resonated so strongly among "the people" was because it was a scandal that the average American understood. The average person can't understand a financial scandal.

In addition, people of average or lower intelligence tend to not be as logical or reasoned as those of higher intelligence - they deal with emotion. Therefore they are more likely to get riled up about someone burning a flag rather than a illogical tax cut.

#2 - The majority of people do not read the newspaper OR listen to the news, CNN, etc. Therefore -they get their news from the Tonight Show, Letterman, Oprah and Saturday Night Live. Or, they get their news from talking to their co-workers at the water cooler.

Also, for the few people who DO listen to the news - who do they hear it from? Fox News and Bill O'Reilly are the most popular. Most newspapers and media outlets are owned by Republicans.

THIS is what we are fighting against people. In order to win we will need to start pandering to the masses.

Sounds pretty bigoted to me.

Of course the site fosters such delusional statements since they exclude conservatives and republicans from their boards and manifest intellectual cowardice in regards to their ideas and beliefs.

This chaps views are probably fairly typical of many elitist liberals who are certain of their superiority over their fellow man.

It's more sad than funny - because they truly believe that enlightenment can only be reached through tax increases, incessant social spending and feel good, rhetoric coated hypocrisy.

Amazingly, the lowest educated Americans vote almost universally as if there is no other selection than the democratic candidate. The so called "brightest"folks in the university also vote left - but this is primarily to preserve the social spending which is fundamental to their positions. They can coat this self-interest and placate their guilt for collecting taxpayers money (and not having to dig ditches or harvest fruit) by telling themselves they are the champions of the underprivileged and poor.

If this is the end result of enlightenment - give me "stupid" and "uninformed" anyday.
