Someone Tell Me Why

C'mon, someone tell me this is a put-on. C'mon.

Nutroot's Profanity Exceeds Right Wing Profanity--- 18 to 1!    

With the latest accusations by Bill O'Reilly on the the profanity at the premier democratic blog Daily Kos and the latest excuses by Daily Kos apologists who defend their God-given right to post profanity and hate speech...

I thought it was time to dust off the infamous "7 Words Study" comparing language on the right side of the blogosohere with the language frequently used on the left side of the blogosphere.

** You may visit the The NewsBuckit at any time to get the complete results from this intensive look at nutroot's profanity.

This is what happened when the students at News Buckit compared nutroots profanity with profanity on the right.

And this is what I found, using what I deemed -- through a mix of TTLB and 2006's Weblog Award lists -- to be the 18 biggest Lefty blogs, and 22 biggest Righty blogs. (Not counting this one. :)) I couldn't account for the 6-month time period, and I even gave the Lefty blogs a 4 blog advantage. But it didn't make much of a difference.

So how much more does the Left use Carlin's "seven words" versus the Right? According to my calculations, try somewhere in the range of 18-to-1.

Of course, this does not take into consideration the extensive amount of anti-military, anti-Christian, anti-Semitic or anti-American postings on the Left.

Teh Awesom!!I111.

So, seriously. It's a joke, right? GuysUh, guys? You're parodying, right? Guys? Anyone? Ha ha very funny.

It's a joke, right?

Heh. These chicken suckers are not joking. Behold the sociopathic power structure and their mindless sheep. The 25% Club. Behold the curtain being yanked back in 100 places, and all the mental giants that let others do their thinking for them are freaking out.

These neocon dittoheads have no idea how retarded they sound to the normal thinking folks as they grasp at invisible straws, slobbering all over themselves while spewing the daily memo and desperately avoiding any critical thinking lest they implode.

Today's memo is nasty talk on the 'radical left' blogs. I found out from Bill-O. He's an Old School Catholic well suited to counting individual profanities uttered on some blog that 'traffics in hate speech.'

The blindness, the hypocrisy boggles the mind. Is this defensive posturing or were they always this clueless and crapbrained?

I dunno, I think calling a concerned American an "Islamofascist-loving traitor" is worth at least three "fucking retards," when it's all toted up.

"Let's ask this Scientician."

I am attempting to personally outfuckingcuss every goddamned blog that could be conceivably considered right of center, because I can't watch a beautiful Liberty University master's thesis go down the fucking toilet like this.

Of course we curse and swear more than the wingnuts do.
We have more things to be pissed off about.

If it turned out that Galileo had said "the earth orbits the motherfucking sun, you assholes," I'm sure they'd stop invoking him as an expert witness in arguments over global warming and intelligent design.

You don't really wanna be associated with someone like that.

Oops- I forgot to add:

According to the latest polls, there are way more of us than there are of them.

Also, I've never liked Carlin and I barely remember the gag in question...but wasn't part of his argument that killing people is a good deal more obscene than gratifying them sexually?

There is a difference between profanity and hatred. Yes, we cuss a lot, but we rarely advocate murder of politicians, world leaders, judges, lefties (or righties) or anyone we don't like. That is what you see when you visit a right wing blog, or read a right wing book, or listen to Coulter, etc. And I do not see anti-military, anti-religion, etc. posts on liberal sites. I do see anti-zealot, anti-right-wing-religious-fucktard, anti-stupid-war-mongerer posts often.

I am a cusser. I try to bahave in front of my kids, but they may learn new words from me somethimes. they are teenagers, and have taught me a few recently. They do not ever hear me urge the murder of those I do truly detest. That is what I object ot from the Wingnuts.

If they get offended by this stuff, they don't want to be riding in my car when the Chimp-in-Charge or one of his jerk-wad minions gets a chance to spout off on the radio. It tends to get rather loud, and sometimes the upholstery smolders.

Apishapa is right; the fundamental dishonesty of this is in the phrase 'profanity and hate speech', which implies that the two are equivalent. Don Surber was trying the same dodge yesterday; I think it's become a standard right wing meme.

Fuck 'em if they can't take a little profanity.

plenty of people have swung at the hague who let nary a cussword pass their pretty lips.

So I set fire to my neighbor's garage, and boy, was he angry. I mean, he was really angry. His face turned red, veins bulged out on his forehead and he used many bad words one should never use in polite company. Overall, he was quite deranged.

I think he should be ashamed of himself. Other people won't like him if he persists in that kind of behavior. I find his anger most offensive and unappealing. Yes, I certainly do.

So if I persist in using names like Boner Goldberg and Shit Romney, I'm bad? Does the rule apply to all swear words? Or is there an exemption for British profanities like wanker and bugger?

What a fucking drag the new morality is. Here I thought I was all superior and shit because I didn't cheerlead the deaths of 100,000 Iraqis. My goddamn mistake.

Boner Goldberg

This presumes potency.

All those right wing WATBs should go take a flying fuck at a rolling donut.

carlin did indeed say he'd rather have his kids watch two people fucking than two people killing each other.

also:
I love and treasure individuals as I meet them; I loathe and despise the groups they identify with and belong to.
