res- The Right seems to be much more likely to engage in rude, deceitful behavior than the Left. Have you noticed this?

Actually no. Just the opposite. The indoctrinated left considers politics their religion and will say or do just about anything if they believe it will support the cause.

This thread is a perfect example. The left supporting members rarely participate in a debate on a particular issue without degenerating into name calling or rude condescension. After all, this is the same party that claims those who disagree with them want to "starve children, starve the elderly, poison the water and destroy our environment". And now the latest.. "insinuating President Bush willfully supported the murder of thousands of citizens by allowing terrorists to steer an airplane into our buildings".

Shallow ideals speak in shallow tones. And none are more shallow than the Tom Dashle, Richard Gephard, Hillary Clinton crowd.

By a wide margin the largest message boards devoted to political speech come from the right perspective. Left websites are typically similar to left newspapers. One way communications is the flow path. They fear the public commenting on their content.

If left websites garnered enough support they could moderate the site to ensure right wing spamming doesn't take place. But, the bottom line is they cannot get that kind of support without government dollars. With rare exceptions the same is true in radio. That's why Public radio is leftist, while private enterprise radio is conservative.

These sites are conservative and supported entirely by the visitors. However, anyone can comment on their message boards provided they do so in a non spamming respectful way. Can you show me one liberal website which has similar boards? Just one...
