Why is Linus Pauling on this list? He revolutionized the field of chemistry, and a lot of what he discovered is still taught in chemistry classes over a half century later. His position on vitamin C might have been misguided, but it shouldn't overshadow his previous work, and the fact that he was awarded two Nobel Prizes (I know that the Nobel Prize is ofter dismissed as a liberal pat on the back, but since it's mentioned as a reason Oppenheimer is included on this list, I figured that it's relevant).

:I know nothing of the man, public school educated. There are a few individuals on the list with other unmentioned contributions but their influences on [[liberal deceit]] merit making this list. I did not create this list and maybe you should direct your request to the author.--[[User:Jpatt|Jpatt]] 20:58, 12 October 2009 (EDT)

::I apologize, I thought that this essay was trying to discredit liberal scientists as not having real achievements, not just pointing out geniuses that happen to be liberal. Btw, Pauling is the person who came up with the property of electronegativity, and hypothesized the hybridization of atomic orbitals, he is certainly a giant in the field of chemistry.
