Liberal gullibility is the tendency of some people to easily believe false liberal claims. Michael Moore makes a fortune from liberal gullibility and Al Gore won a Nobel Prize on the back of it.
Examples of liberal gullibility include:
- taking away guns will prevent gun crime
- global warming must be caused by man
- providing government health care for all will reduce illness
- government programs can reduce poverty by giving more money away
- assuming that just because a certain number of people visit a website, that they agree with the viewpoints that website espouses
- the Holy Bible is not true, but the writings of atheists are
- the Piltdown Man is the missing link, and so was the Nebraska Man!
- anything Barack Obama says is true, because he is for "hope and change"
- Barack Obama has no connections to Islam whatsoever
- use circular reasoning to "prove" something, as in assuming an element had a half-life of 700 million years in order to "prove" that the universe is older than 700 million years.
