I don't disagree that there are many that use terms like "stupid" or "too dumb to vote". Perhaps it is elitist.

I think it's unfortunate that people use these terms but is it all that different from those on the right who claim those on the left are morally bankrupt?

I think both responses stem from the same place... a place where you cannot conceive that someone else can hold to their opinion in the face of yours (which is, of course, the "right way" to think).

Furthermore, I don't think it helps when the way in which we interact with those of differing opinions is (generally speaking) though sound bites in the media. There is no level to which misunderstandings can be achieved through lack of context.
