If I read that right it say the Internet neutralized big media's attempt to influence the voting public on Kerry's behalf. If that is true, it would imply that freedom of speech indeed works and that Internet users as a whole are able to filter out the trash.

I would suggest that all the hate speech by the two sides have driven people to the other side. There is a difference between negative attack ads and hate speech. While one may be effective, I believe the other is not in the best interest of the candidate they are supporting.

Over the pass few weeks I have from time to time done searches to see which side was producing the most hate speech. Consider the following searches:

Bush + Hate search returns 1.96 million hits today:

google.com

Kill + Bush search returns 2.29 million hits today:

google.com

Anti-Bush search returns 1.09 million hits today:

google.com

Hilter + Bush returns 599,000 hits today:

google.com

Kerry + Hate search returns 942,000 hits today:

google.com

Kill + Kerry search returns 860,000 hits today:

google.com

Anti-Kerry search returns 355,000 hits:

google.com

Hilter + Kerry search returns 202,000 hits:

google.com

The above reveals 5,939,000 (72%) hits for hate speech against Bush and 2,359,000 (28%) hits for hate speech against Kerry.

Clearly the suggestion that Bush supporters are producing most of the Hate Speech on the Internet is false. The above suggest that 72% of the Hate Speech on the WWW is from Kerry supporters!
