Government funded study attacks Repug psyche....Links Limbaugh/Hitler
It's in LBN, but I thought I'd give the Lounge Lizards a laugh too:

"A study funded by the US government has concluded that conservatism can be explained psychologically as a set of neuroses rooted in "fear and aggression, dogmatism and the intolerance of ambiguity".

...the report's four authors linked Hitler, Mussolini, Ronald Reagan and the rightwing talkshow host, Rush Limbaugh, arguing they all suffered from the same affliction...

The authors also peer into the psyche of President George Bush, who turns out to be a textbook case..."This intolerance of ambiguity can lead people to cling to the familiar, to arrive at premature conclusions, and to impose simplistic cliches and stereotypes," the authors argue in the Psychological Bulletin."

Full story:
