It's often dimwitted, but not always so. And even the smartest person in the world can be deceived by a liberal trap if he's in a hurry or thinking about something else.
In response to the concern about whether it's in common usage, a quick search on Google turns up over 5600 links to the term. So it's out there.--Andy Schlafly 13:59, 17 January 2010 (EST)
- I recommend dropping "dimwitted." --as in the Palin example, saying she fell into a dimwitted trap has CP making her look stupid. RJJensen 14:25, 17 January 2010 (EST)
- I'm open-minded about this. But sometimes smart people are tripped up by dimwitted questions (liberal traps), simply because smart people are not used to being ambushed by such idiotic tactics. Presumably you've sat on doctoral review panels and found an intelligent candidate tripped up by a simple-minded, softball question that was unexpected.
