    It does when those points have already been shown to be wrong and yet she still repeats them. She gets money from oil companies - she is clearly been bought and this is why she retired from academia - so she can make money spewing those talking points without having to run into trouble. She's using her past credibility to be able to spread false statements and make them seem credible. She is criticized for making assertions about uncertainty that don't even fit the standards of statistics 101.

    The map is ridiculous. Travis County is arguably the most liberal county in the state.

    you miss the point of the map, it is not about "liberal" counties versus "conservative" counties . . . it's about political intolerance and prejudice generally.

    If you read the article you'll see there are two more maps, one for Democratic prejudice against Republicans, and another for Republican prejudice against Democrats.

    Ah, my apologies. All becomes clear! :cool:
    And I won't argue with the designation, thank goodness.
