Why do conservatives say that liberals are uneducated?

Update:

Liberals go to college! College professors are liberals! Liberals were nerds! Liberals wear glasses!

    It's partly because conservatives have been trained in the last few decades to see political rhetoric as an insult contest. So 'liberals' are not just uneducated they're stupid, ugly, evil, just whatever bad things you can come up with to say about them.

    And 'liberals' is in quotes because it's not about actual political liberalism. Since the 60s, Republicans used the word 'liberal' for anyone they disagreed with.

    Why do conservatives say that liberals are uneducated?

    LOL, Republicans love it when you whine about their hate for Liberals and NEWS FLASH - College does not make any one smarter , but it does cause idiots to go into great debt so politicians can make more money ... sadly, there's no shortage of whining, lying, blaming, stupid ... and hating People - Voters nor Politicians , Democrat or Republican !!!

    I wouldn't say that liberals are uneducated. Some of them are so educated to the point that common sense leaves them. Living in academia, safe from the real world, can become a hindrance. I would say that liberals, and I'm not talking about the progressive politicians, are extremely gullible and naive though.

    Liberals aren't uneducated. There is a difference between being educated and being intelligent. The Communists sent many people to re-education camps that had nothing to do with becoming more intelligent. Real education comes in many forms like experience and schools. When it comes to schools it just depends on what is being taught.

    Same reason that the liberals say conservatives are uneducated. Both sides playing games.

    Well I guess you never spent any time in the Inner Cities of America where the most uneducated reside and where the Liberal Schools fail them every day?

    I can't speak for everyone, but when I inform a liberal that I have a PhD in neuroscience and I am voting for Trump, they immediately go into "that does not compute" mode. They are brainwashed to the extent that they cannot conceive of people vastly more educated then they are who do not share their political viewpoint. That makes me a liar. How dumb can they be?

    Liberals are intellectually superior compared to conservatives. Conservatives have always hated intellectuals. For instance, when Nicholas Copernicus proved that the earth circled the sun and not vice versa the village idiots came after him with pitch forks and torches.

    We no longer call them village idiots today but rather we simply call them republicans.

    Are liberal frenz are ignorant. There is a difference.

    No, the fact that they are purposefully ignorant is not relevant. They've proven you can chose to be whatever you want to be, including a purposefully low-info, ignorant, meme-spouting bi-ped. Apparently, that makes 'em FEEL good.
