There’s no comparison between the levels of profanity and 
    hateful venom you’ll find at left-wing sites such as 
    Huffington Post and the comments posted at Little Green 
    Footballs. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised at Howard 
    Kurtz’s lame attempt at moral equivalence though; it’s 
    what mainstream media does, whether the topic is blogs 
    or “terrorism” or the Arab-Israeli conflict. 

    Note that he mentions that the Washington Post message 
    boards also have a problem, although he basically brushes 
    it off before attacking LGF. What he doesn’t say about 
    WaPo’s boards is that the venom there is posted almost 
    exclusively by left-wingers—and it’s not a sudden surge. 
    It’s been out of control for quite a while.
