Excellent, I hadn't noticed the second update.

It would also be helpful to test additional corrections of liberal misperceptions.
Currently, all of our backfire results come from conservatives – a finding that may
provide support for the hypothesis that conservatives are especially dogmatic (Greenberg
and Jonas 2003; Jost et al. 2003a, 2003b). However, there is a great deal of evidence that
liberals interpret factual information in ways that are consistent with their political
predispositions (e.g. Bartels 2002 133-137 or the stem cell experiment above). Without
conducting more studies, it is impossible to determine if the results we observe are
systematic or the result of the specific misperceptions tested.

Sounds like “Beyond the Running Tally: Partisan Bias in Political Perceptions.” by Larry Bartels might have that information.
