I may have missed one or two, or counted one or two twice, but I think this is an accurate portrayal of this forum, day in and day out. I'm not going to wast any more time on this.
I think not. Of course, we are missing the dozens of Palin bashing threads. Of the top 10 threads just this minute, 6 were started by a lefty.

How do you know the political leaning of every poster? People call me a lefty all the time because I oppose the crazy neocons. The only american politician I ever supported on this forum is Ron Paul.

I guess everyone that disagrees with you is a lefty. And also, I have received hate mails as well by people that have accused me of being a socialist. So please stop this "my side is innocent" BS.

A false belief held despite strong evidence against it; self-deception. Delusions are common in some forms of psychosis. Because of his delusions, the literary character Don Quixote attacks a windmill, thinking it is a giant.

You can tell, at least with the ones I counted.

Being called a socialist is one thing, but I doubt you have ever received the messages I and others of my "ilk" have received.

If anything, I think the membership leans left, especially with certain topics in the news. The moderation is balanced and this from someone who has received her fair share of infractions.

Most of the time it is as easy as pie to gage the leaning of those who post and the moderators as well. Yes, we are surprised once in awhile and some have mixed feelings, but there are those that wear their leanings on their sleeve; most do.

That's just today. There is only so much bashing that can be done and I think it has been done for now, but it will pick up the next time her name shows up in print or on the TV.

Calling me a socialist was not the content of the hate mails. How do you know who received nastier mails? This is the next of your thousands of wrong assumptions.

Only if you live in a simple "black and white" world like you do. A lot of people are NOT one-dimensional characters. The moment you critizise Palin or Beck, you are automatically labelled a lefty. I could show you many posters that do that.
