Nah, definitely an idiot. It's quite possible for people with high IQs to be idiots, it just takes a bit more effort.

The particular piece you quoted is a huge mess of logical fallacies. Straw men, association fallacies and hasty generalizations, to be exact.

What he does is build a fictional antagonist called "the leftist", upon which he bestows all the negative qualities that some specific individuals on the left of the political spectrum may or may not have. Then, he performs a sloppy, fundamentally flawed psychological analysis of the fictional "leftist", and applies that to everyone on the left of the political spectrum.
