Could you manage to put "some" in front of things? I'm sure some conservatives think liberals are stupid (en masse), and some liberals think conservatives are stupid (en masse), but most people probably aren't quite so prejudiced. I've never seen any evidence that the majority of people feel that way. Do you have some evidence that this is majority thought, or is this just a symptom of the polarized ends of the political spectrum?

As you may be able to tell, I'm tired of seeing things exaggerated and exacerbated. I'm tired of stupid generalizations about liberals, and I'm equally tired of stupid generalizations about conservatives. I'd like to see a lot more attention paid to nuance, and individual cases, because quite frankly the generalization game (as regards groups of people) is just making things stupid and nasty, and I think I can back that up with numerous examples from SI, from Scream Radio (left or right), and from just about anywhere else.
