Liberal Web Sites More Profane Than Conservatives
Liberal Web sites that allow feedback from readers are more than 12 times as likely to contain profanity as their conservative counterparts.
That's the finding of Washington Times' "Poli-Tech" columnist Matthew Sheffield, who used a search engine to find profanity on leading sites on both sides of the political spectrum.
Sheffield looked for occurrences of late comic George Carlin's "seven dirty words" and some popular variants on the top 10 conservative and top 10 liberal Web sites.
The search yielded 70,000 results at the conservative sites and 1.9 million on the liberal sites.
"Dividing the number of instance of profanity by the number of pages of the sites on which they appear, then multiplying the result by 100, yields what might be called a ‘profanity quotient,'" Sheffield writes.
The top 10 left-wing sites have a profanity quotient of 14.6, while the right-wing sites have a quotient of 1.17, which means 14.6 percent of all pages on the liberal sites contain profanity, compared to 1.17 percent of all pages on the conservative sites.
"That's quite a disparity liberals are more than 12 times as likely to use profanity as conservatives on the Web," Sheffield points out.
In an effort to explain the result, Sheffield adds: "More than likely, it is a reflection of how things are offline. Conservatives, especially those who are more religious, are less likely to use profanity in their daily conversation."

Liberal notitions are rarely grounded in logic and facts. When what you believe in is based soley on emotion, often times there is a lack of factual evidence to back it up.
In the absence of good sound arguments, cuss words are used in order to empahsis illogical arguments.

I bet it was Kevin, though doesn't appear to be his style of conflict. Maybe Greg.

My bet was on Kevin, but you know, it could be Greg too. I know Kevin was over there, so that's why I am still leaning towards him. Trying to get EO over there too....told him about it this morning via email.
