h/t Instapundit Newsbuckit has an item dealing with profanity on blogs.
My blog allegedly came up with 681 expletives. Here's the correct Google advanced search. You'll find that an overwhelming majority of that profanity is directed at me by Liberals ... sorry, but I have a very Liberal comment policy. And the worst of it may be me quoting Amanda Marcotte. You can check that out at the search link - foul language warning.
The Net's not always a kid-friendly place; there is plenty of foul language out there. And of course, the blogosphere is no different.
But how different are the Rightosphere and Leftosphere when it comes to "dirty" language? Which side produces the most profanity-laced diatribes? Via Instapundit, I happened upon this interesting challenge from InstaPunk:
Oh, and I freely admit to having once called John Cole a cocksucker. Oops, there goes 682. Damn!
Well, dagnab it and doggone - I'll be fried in cholesterol laced arsenic - ice cream!!! There, I feel better.

I am disappointed. I figured that since John McCain said on TV last night that the lives of American soldiers killed in Iraq were "wasted", you would have a post up asking that, with regard to McCain,:
"Would someone please sweep this piece of political detritis away before he drowns in the media droll he hasn't earned and doesn't deserve."

Dan I like your blog. Sometimes you say some really stupid shit, but at least we can call you on it. Thanks for your comment section.
As for liberal blogs having liberal language policies... well is it that shocking? Check out Rude Pundit for example. Think of liberal standup comedians like George Carlin, Dave Chapelle, and others. These guys might not fit a perfect mold for liberals, whatever that is, but they still say important things in spite of their language.
They also don't hope for the death of a carload of anti-war protesters...

no dan, you wanted a bus to hit them. I guess whatever "load" was pretty vague

Well, John Cole is a mother-fuckling coke-sucker. What's wrong with saying that?
