Why do liberals hate and fear scientific truth?

Answer: For the political Left, politics always trumps truth. Always has, starting with socialism and other forms of statism. A couple of days ago the sainted and foxy Ann Coulter wrote about radiation hormesis, the scientifically supported theory that a certain level of radiation dosage is beneficial to human beings. Well! Liberal truth-deniers went into their usual anti-rational overdrive tizzy. Said Coulter:

In response to my column last week about hormesis — the theory that some radiation can be beneficial to humans — liberals reacted with their usual open-minded examination of the facts….According to Noel Sheppard at Newsbusters, MSNBC’s Ed Schultz devoted an entire segment to denouncing me. He called me toxic, accused me of spreading misinformation and said I didn’t care about science….One thing Schultz did not do, however, was cite a single physicist or scientific study….

After decades of this nonsense, The New York Times’ Paul Krugman has the audacity to brag that liberals believe the "truth should be determined by research, not revelation." Yes — provided the "research" is conducted by trial lawyers and Hollywood actresses rather than actual scientists.
