I like this a lot. It's often said by conservative commentators that conservatives completely understand liberals, but liberals do not understand conservatives at all. I think there's truth to that, I would love to see some experiments like this, hehehe...

This reminds me of Yvain2's post

I like to listen to various commentators and try to guess whether they are conservative or liberal. Recently I listened heard the charismatic and articulate Chris Uhlmann on Television who sounds like a conservative. Apparently, he's a political editor for the ABC (and presumably nonpartisan), so I wonder what that says about my ability to understand either ideologues if I mislabel that cluster of beliefs.
