Obama Outnumbers Republicans Intellectually 1-to-140

Intelligence is a difficult attribute to quantify and it's a difficult attribute to understand.

Differences in IQ are probably entirely the function of the environment in which people live. Example, the average IQ gain when a child in poverty is adopted by an upper-middle class family is 12 to 16 points. There is precious little evidence of inherited racial IQ differences that withstand scrutiny.

Maybe the Republicans spend so much time in their right-wing echo chambers they don't know how ridiculous their talking points really are.
