Describing that post as "a typical liberal's opinion" was surely doing just the same thing as you accused misophist of doing, Doug. The implication that people outside big cities are inescapably ignorant and out of touch just doesn't stand up, as I pointed out in the post immediately following that one, and was backed up by others.

On the other hand, it must surely be worrying to people of any political opinion, if there is evidence that a sizable majority of your population is as badly informed about important facts which are not in dispute, as is the case if that survey is to be believed. This would apply just as much if the politics were reversed, and all this had been happening under a Denocrat administration.
