The study used a test group that was shown various republican leaders having dinner with Mother Teresa, Gandhi and others, and pictures of prominent democrat leaders having dinner with Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini. The two groups were then evaluated by the preference in picture selections shown by the study group

Good for a laugh! From the link:

Rice University Political Scientist John Alford published some research in the creatively named journal Science about a possible biological basis to liberalism and conservatism. Basically, "46 mostly white Midwesterners who self-identified as having strong political beliefs" were shown "threatening images" ("a large spider on someone's face, a bloodied person and maggot-filled wound"). The conservatives were more scared, of all of the images. Or, as Newsweek puts it, "illegal immigrants may = spiders = gay marriages = maggot-filled wounds = abortion rights = bloodied faces. " Liberals were not sensitive to the scary images. Which means they're biologically inferior, because they'd die if a gay spider tried to abort their faces to death. Notable problems with this study: small sample, also wtf this doesn't explain anything.

Closing thoughts from that article:

"Also scientists still consider the majority of Americans to be like a fascinating exotic backwards tribe and the fucking country is doomed."

A serious article about serious scientific inquiries...
