Nope. You're putting words in my mouth. I don't think they're smarter at all.
Bias and intelligence are not mutually exclusive. I don't think liberals or conservative are dumb or smart for being liberals or conservatives.
What I said was that a history book written by anyone with a right or left bias may not convey the full history. If all the good history books of the last 75 years were written exclusively by conservatives, I'd suggest we probably weren't getting the full picture, as there'd be a right bias.
ETA: I also wouldn't call the idiots of today's right "conservatives." They're classically liberal (desirous of govt intervention to enforce their views over others) to that extreme level where that interventionism veers into authoritarianism.
