There is a big difference in being ignorant and willfully ignorant. When I don't understand something people are talking about on this forum I just lurk and hope to pick stuff up. What I don't do is make shit up or push something that I know is likely false.
Over the last year there have been many willfully ignorant positions taken by conservatives in the main stream. Here are a few of them:
Obama is a terrorist, Obama is not a US citizen, Obama's suicide bill, Obama wants to teach my kid how to have sex, Obama had a gay orgy (i'm seeing a pattern here)
The right has so much hatred in them that they don't care how false something is they will preach it like fact because it fits their position. That is willful ignorance.
