SHEFFIELD: Profanity greater on liberal blogs

Funny that someone actually documented this, it's been common knowledge in the blogosphere for years. There is a LOT of hate on the left, you only have to read a lefty blog after a prominent conservative dies, or is taken ill. The same situation (when a prominent liberal is ill or dies) on a conservative blog sees expressions of sympathy for the family, usually accompanied by 'while I don't agree with his/her politics, etc'. Just part of the massive, daily hypocracy of the left, where they talk compassion but gut anyone who disagrees with them. Profanity for the left is just a way to get attention for their hate.

Profanity is part of liberalism. That and being godless and full of hate for other opinions. Just go to any youtube with Obama or McCain and you'll see the pro-Obama, anti-McCain, and anti-Bush loonies spill their hate where every other word is a curse. Liberalism is a mental disorder.

When morals are relative, so is the use of profanity. It's similar to the definition of "is" or the "unequivocal".

Profanity is a sign of lack of self-discipline. It is a sign of imprecise thinking. It's no surprise that liberals use it more.

No surprise. My migration to the conservative side started many decades ago when I noticed that any legitimate questioning of liberal immigration policy was met with a host of accusations. Notice also the behavior difference between past Republican presidents and past Democrat presidents.

On second thought, we have had a Republican in the White House for almost eight years. Maybe the profanity on the liberal sites will decrease if Obama is elected and liberals start to siphon money from the bank accounts of the rich into theirs, put limits on speech and thought (hate crime laws and media fairness doctine), lose a city or two to terrorists, and formalize immigration and citizenship as entitlement programs for certain groups of people.

I am a moderate/conservative whose best friend is a moderate/liberal. I have attended many affairs in our liberal- minded area and have often been offended by the profane hatred espoused by my neighbors for President Bush and his administration, even when they are aware that not everyone in the room shares their feelings, and don't seem to care how ignorant they come across. However, when President Clinton was busy soiling his office, all I heard was "so what", "no biggie". Where was their outrage then? What else can one conclude other than they have flawed values?

Definition: Liberals Those who resort to name-calling and profanity when they cannot win an argument with logical and coherent thought.

You have simply answered the question that conservatives have known for years. Liberals live in frustration, suffer inarticulate lives and depend upon the press to speak and fend for them. No, I am not a learned person and certainly do not possess the vocabulary of a Buckley. I do however have an open mind to continued learning, I read and I can form my own opinions because of my reading and limited education. I am not a mouth like Bewhore(sp?) of The View(sounds NY elitist and absent from the rest of the country). I did like Spock for his logic. I do not have the need for the Carlin seven, the four letter words, mother is spelled and pronounced with an 'r' and for those in need of a smile, wife is also a four letter word. So, content in my average personna, I remain me.

Yeah, I have to chime in and say pretty much the same thing---the left cannot win their arguments with facts or logic so they invariably resort to insults, ad hominem attacks, political correctness fear-mongering, or just plain profanity. Exactly the kind of government you get in leftist regimes around the world---repressive, insulting,fear-inducing,unfair, and tyrannical.

Unfortunately, you are incorrect when you say "14.6 percent of all pages on the most popular liberal sites have profanity on them..." True, the "quotient" is 14.6 (1.9 / 13 X 100). But to say 14.6% of all pages have profanity is playing with the numbers, pardon the pun, too liberally. If that datum were true, it would mean all pages with a profanity would have to contain only one instance. You would have to actually find the number of pages of the 13 million that had a profanity, instead of just the number of instances, to get a meaningful number.

And, obviously, the same methodology should be applied to the conservative web pages...

I mean like....Who didn't know this?

This is like one of those government studies that confirms that laboratory rats get cancer when you give them nicotine or the TIME magazine headline 'Men and Women Are Different!' The Left has always been more hateful. Consider the last protest (or even 'pride' parade) you saw on TV where the attendees were Right Wingers. Was there any violence, destruction of property, arrests or signs promoting illegal activities or profanity? But you can barely put an illegal immigration march on TV without seeing an effigy of somebody being burned (along with the US flag), a union printed poster starting with the F word or somebody wearing a shirt which has to be blurred out to be shown on TV. It is simply who the Left is. If you are an unhappy person and you blame (insert perceived source of evil here) because (perceived evil) is preventing you from being (choose all that apply: happy, rich, pretty, skinny, attractive, at peace), then you can choose to be a liberal to avoid responsibility for your own actions. And if you would like to claim to care more about (insert dire cause here) than the rest of the people 'in the US', then you can become a liberal to protest the fact that other don't share your views. And you can be sure that you are already a liberal if the cause you are protesting or advocating: 1. Cannot be solved by you or anybody you know. (or is unsolvable or a solution is unnecessary as in 'Global Warming') 2. Is far, far, far larger than your scope of influence (so your lack of action beyond complaining is understandable). 3. Is somewhere on the other side of the world (while you neglect simple problems in your own domicile, neighborhood, city, town, family, etc. 4. Can only be achieved/defeated by wiping out all of those people who disagree with you about said issue/cause. Boy are you libs going to be angry when you read this....

No mystery really. You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. Matthew 12:34
