The Reasoning of the Left

Kos has a funny post today about the Washington Post blog. Evidently, after an article was written by Deborah Howell about Abramoff which stated that he donated to both political parties, Kos brought the thunder down on the Post and hundreds of liberals wrote in to debunk the claim. Shortly after this the Post shut down the blog in question. Kos would have you believe:

Readers spent countless hours writing those comments, many of which were carefully researched and debunked Howell's claims. So now we see the WaPo embracing Bush's policy--when you're confronted with the facts, ignore them, silence the truth-speaker, and play the victim.

This is completely untrue, of course. What really happened:

There were so many personal attacks that the newspaper's staff could not "keep the board clean, there was some pretty filthy stuff," and so the Post shut down comments on the blog, or Web log, said Jim Brady, executive editor of washingtonpost.com.

"We're not giving up on the concept of having a healthy public dialogue with our readers, but this experience shows that we need to think more carefully about how we do it," Brady wrote on the newspaper's Web site. "There are things that we said we would not allow, including personal attacks, the use of profanity and hate speech."

So actually the posters were using such filthy language that the moderators couldn't keep the blog clean. That's why it was shut down.

You see, it seems to me that liberal blogs are much more foul-mouthed than conservative blogs as a general rule. I took a lefty blog off of the sidebar earlier because it seems that the whole point of the blog was to talk politics and curse. Kos and the Democratic Underground are the same way. They seem to be unable to present their point without using the f-bomb every other word.

Kos is a liar. I'm glad that he is unable to make his liberal points without cursing a blue streak. Good work...
