I was inspired to start this thread based on some of the comments I got in a Glenn Beck thread, but didn't want to get too far off topic.
The question is, why are those employed in academia disproportionately liberal, compared to those in other fields (see link below)?

Of course, being a liberal, I like to think it has something to do with the smartest people in the country tending to be liberal but I suspect some might have alternative explanations.
Thoughts?
