I remember reading a story about someone actual doing something similar to this just a few years ago. They came up with the frequency of profanity on several popular conservative and liberal sites. I’m pretty sure that Free Republic was one of the sites included.
Just did a Google search and found the article. Very informal non-scientific:

Interesting thanks for posting this.
“The top 10 conservative sites (Free Republic, Hot Air, Little Green Footballs, Townhall, NewsBusters, Lucianne.com, Wizbang, Ace of Spades, Red State and Volokh Conspiracy) have a quotient of 1.17.”
That can’t be right though. There is no profanity of FR. s/ ;)
