If one makes the assumption that the use of profanity is an indicator of a lack of civility, then Freepers and denizens of other conservative web sites are up to 18 times more civil in their discussion of issues than liberals in their discourse.
This is no secret to the occasional Freeper who has to spend time disinfecting his computer, keyboard and brain after visiting a site such as DU in search of a particular liberal viewpoint.
Folks, the great thing about FR is that even if you do post something on this forum that conforms to the conventional wisdom at Free Republic, you must back it up with rationality or you will be called out on it.

Does anyone here really care what some barking moonbat thinks of F.R.?FWIW, I think this article says more about the author than it does about us :)
Now please excuse me while I go and clean my mandibles ....

I can't wait to read their critique of the Democratic Underground.
Interesting back handed note about Rathergate as well.

Liberals will always perceive the truth as bashing them. Is it our fault that they are paranoid?

Liberals will always perceive the truth as bashing them. Is it our fault that they are paranoid? They firmly believe so. A liberal will never take personal responsibility for anything, they are champion "finger pointers".

"This article is a bit old, but was never posted. It appeared on the website of one of Canada's largest newspapers when the Dixie Chicks' documentary was first released."Hmmm, if an article is published in Canada and no one reads it, is it still news?

There should be a law requiring finger pointers to wear mittens at all times.
I have not read one response to this article that has mentioned the Dixie Chicks in any way. Must be very disappointing to the author and the Chicks. ;-)

Free Republic: glass ant farm for zealots
I've been here since the late 1990's. Any extremity is in the varied nature of its participants and subject matter of interest. A "glass ant farm for zealots" is a better description of the DU or Move On.org.

"Articles containing an opposing viewpoint have the words "BARF ALERT" appended to their titles."
Subtle slip. Barf alert is attached to articles that are often NEWS articles. If news has ANY 'viewpoint,' a barf alert ought to be warranted--but again, we see the 'balanced' MSM at work.

The tard should post some of the real crap that saturates DU -- which might have much more shock/sensational value.
To: flaglady47
Well, perhaps.
Myself, I always post keeping in mind that my children and grandchildren might one day read my words.

"The Frenchy Chix can't get a gig in a gay bar in Ithaca," writes another. Hillarious! And they call us the Internet's "worst site"? Try and find quips like that anywhere else.
To: conservative in nyc
"The bad guys, according to site founder Jim Robinson, are practitioners of "liberalism, socialism, fascism, pacifism, totalitarianism, anarchism, government enforced atheism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, racism," and "wacko environmentalism."
No kidding... the writer seems to have a problem with this.
Sheeeeeesh.
