Look: I am eager to learn stuff I don't know--which requires actively courting and posting smart disagreement.

But as you will understand, I don't like to post things that mischaracterize and are aimed to mislead.

Rats!

As  a fitting follow-up to this exchange with Tux, Hartmann shows us why rats are more highly evolved  than Repubicans.




Link.

So, on the empathy scale we have Rats > Insane Clown Posse > Rethugs.

Seems about right.

When a rat hears another rat in distress, that rat will immediately go to help the rat in distress. Furthermore, if they had a chocolate treat, they'd share that treat with the rat that they helped. The average Republican, on the other hand, will simply sneer and say "get a job, moron!", rather than helping the person in trouble.

Yah, I think your hierarchy is pretty d**n accurate. Rats are more empathetic than Republicans.
