When It Comes to Profanity, the Left Can't Help Itself

I meant to post this yesterday but didn't have time to get to it at CPAC. A lot of people have noticed that profanity on conservative blogs is a lot scarcer than it is on the left-leaning ones. Believing this to be a correct hypothesis, I did a few Google searches and discovered that profanity is far more common on the left.

Lucky for my weekend, this information has already been distilled by Patrick Ishmael at the News Buckit blog. He went to Google looking up George Carlin's "seven dirty words" on many of the most-read right- and left-wing blogs. The results are unsurprising to anyone who's observed resident lefties here at NewsBusters.

His study isn't completely "scientific" since it is only a partial survey (leaving off NewsBusters and our count of 822 for instance), however, it is fairly comprehensive.

Anyway, the results are as follows: 1,537,788 instances in left-wing blogs compared to 38,107 (including NB) on right-wing blogs.

That's a pretty amazing disparity there. I'd say it's mainly due to the fact that 1) liberals are less "old-fashioned" when it comes to profanity than righties, 2) partisan anger seems higher when the opposite party is in power, 3) many of the non-deranged left work in the MSM, whereas the the non-deranged right is relegated to the blogosphere and 4) liberal bloggers' limited intelligence stops them from expressing themselves without profanity.

Matthew:

You left out one possible reason why there is less profanity on right sites.  You have elevated your finest gutter-speaks to the highest offices in the land!  There is plenty of video and audio footage of George W. doing and saying foul things (see example link) http://www.starmuscl... and if I recall correctly, our VP told Senator Leahy to “F” off on the senate floor.  High-mindedness, indeed!

Disparity, to be sure!  You mean in the entire blogosphere there are only 1.5 million "liberal" dirty words and 38 thousand "conservative" dirty blog posts?  From who's arse did these numbers come from?  Does "arse" count, by-the-by?  If so, add two dirties to the NB site!

Now all we need Dave High, is the public depravity comparison, to round off the stats.

We can start with slick willie's and al whores trips to MTV. Steve-O displayed crawling on the ground and punching some target in the nuts for Al Gore, in between dozens of cuss words. That's on tape. Eventually, that behavior catches on, and becomes second nature for the libdems, including your former god and his now insane sidekick. Furthermore, we have the billary quotes denigrating certain races, and cussing like a sailor when hoary hubby lost this or that nomination or election bid.

 I shudder to think what the democrats talk like behind the closed doors in congress. Then imagine the segregated caucuses of the left, and the soap required filth issuing like water as the dems work themselves into a commiserative wrench concerning bygone injustices.

 We can finish up by adding in the demolib Hollywood cursing and depravity quotient, exploding your stance in all but the most deranged BDS minds, of course including your own.

 So much for elevated conversation, Davey took a lump sum idiocy and made it his home.

A liberal is practicing intelligence when lying. Upon successful deployment, the liberal feels a moment of self accomplishment, and imagines to be one step closer to democrat party leadership, who now display lies and deciept as their party's platform. Practice makes perfect, and eventually, the liberal critter just might make a name at the big tent. Until then, it's a local small time circus.

I'm assuming the 25 to 30% number is Bush's approval rating?  If yes, that somehow means that the Conservative world view is held by only about 25 to 30% of the population?  Are you trying to make that argument?

 I have yet to meet a liberal here who has displayed any serious grasp of facts. Their math skills are pathetic to non-existent.

 Quite the opposite when it comes to the conservatives.

Save us the drama crap Dingleberry Dave...oops that's Dingle Berry Dave (I remember you insisted it wasn't one word but two) and extreme characterizations of someone who used perjorative language as foul-mouthed. Such antics and hysterical whining might work in 6th grade with a nanny/teacher type but in the grown up world all we have to say to you is either get out of diapers and into britches or get back in your crib and shut up.

Shut up and blog! If you claim to be a conservative, please don't disgrace yourself and conservatism by thinking and arguing like a liberal. Go Rudy!

I have 100% basis for number four. I've been in debates with several leftists. I can tell that when I starting talk about controversial topics such as the war in Iraq or abortion, they go all out and assume that I am making an attack on them. Slowly but surely, their replies are doused in swear words.

Also, you should consider the crowd that makes up the loopy left and of that crowd, who it is that posts on these blogs. Its a bunch of these young, hippy, fresh out of college fools who are God-less have no since of respect for others nor self-restraint. They just blurt out whatever is on their mind.

Hey Bal, if you have to resort to petty name calling like you are a 3rd grader... it's only fair to assume your intellectual capacity is diminished isn't it? I mean, if every other word you write, not speak, but write is a curse word, the only conclusion we can make is that the person is stupid and just do not have a vocabulary to describe their angst or dismay.

Frustration isn't an excuse for vulgar vitriolic diatribes, yet your side is continuously using those as excuses.

I myself catch myself, or get reminded by my peers when I get frustrated and begin to go down that road... and I always come back to my senses very quickly.... but when a liberal has their vulgarity pointed out... they usually respond with a "STFU you A-hole!" or something similar.

We all get frustrated, I mean, how do you think we conservatives feel every time one of you brings up separation of church and state or the constitutional right to an abortion for the umpteenth time??

aj put his/her finger on it

You're correct. In a lib university, the use of filthy language is accepted almost 100%.
Nobody dares object, because it's quashed as religious reaction or neocon BS.

My wife worked many years at UCSD, La Jolla. She would come home in mental anguish, having rubbed shoulders with all the cretins working in her vicinity. Every day she'd hear obscenity after obscenity. I told her, go to the superisors and demand the abuses be stopped. Her answer was, nobody cares. They have no respect for any lady; it's a damn zoo.

I countered like this: The same Bozo who says "F--kit, f--k me, f--kin' this and that, in mirthful abandon will DEFINITELY watch his/her language around a person of color. No way will the word n--gger escape his lips. No way will he criticize anything remotely African or say a word about the 'hood which isn't obsequious and bashful. He'll be in deep doo-doo. Well, I says to her: YOU are entitled to the same respect.

GEESH!

I agree tumbler

My wife was in a training class for work and the instructor asked if anyone had a problem with profanity and my wife was the only one who raised her hand.
The instructor had more a problem with my wife's having an issue than vice versa I guess.

She (my wife) got reported to HR a number of times afterward for mentioning Jesus or Church at work. It was pathetic.

I also think she was let go of two teaching jobs because parents ccomplain after she said once that Bush was a good president and then on another occassion sang a Christmas song the day before Christmas break (She's a music teacher).

ex,I know you weren't talking

ex,

I know you weren't talking to me, but I just wanted to mention how sad for our educational system what has happened with dang good teachers, political correctness gone awry.

My aunt was a teacher in Ca, Hacienda Heights, Whittier area for over twenty years, she was made superintendent of the district, she would tell me about some of the kids and how rough it was getting to teach, let alone help other kids that had family problems, weapons coming into school, changing how you are allowed to teach.... political correctness gone nuts, she could not abide by the changes anymore, and retired, they lost one good great teacher.

Look at the result we have on television everyday anymore, or just around some of us, these kids are so poorly educated, there is absolutely no rules that can't be broke, or something you can't be sued for, let alone having respect for the teacher, ect.

In her area, Maxine Waters, Waxman all their ilk took over LA and a lot of the district she was in, let alone the teacher's union...

Just wanted to throw in my two cents.

Absolutely BT

My wife used to teach in the inner city and that was a mess. I told her GET OUT.

Realize we live in Massachsetts so the overriding view is ultra-liberal so we can't expect much but it was "better" in the suburbs however she still got let go for budgetary reasons.

But the real guff she took was in the inner city where most of the kids didn't care about music and mis-behaved in class, got sent to the principle and then showed up in her class the next day unrepentant.

The sad thing was that there were usualy 2-3 kids that really could have got allot out of her class, really loved music, but weren't allowed to enjoy it since the unruly kids ruined it for them.

It was bad, kids would get up in class and hit someone and sit down, and stuff like that. My wife is not the best at disciple and keeping kids in line. But she got yelled at sometime by parents if she called the parents to tell them their student was acting up in class. Of course most of the time the numbers were wrong or the parents couldn't speak english or worse didn't care.

When she moved out to the burbs at least the parents cared about their kids and it showed.

I really don't uderstand why libs don't get it, that's it's on the parents. The reason the kids do what they do is because of bad parents.

ex,You summed up the problem

ex,

You summed up the problem in a nut-shell.

It truly is sad.

A big hello to your wife and thanks for the great teaching she must be doing. Glad to see that there are still great dedicated teachers still. my husband works in the school system, so I get the latest, but it is a tiny area compared to your wife situation and my aunts.

They wonder, the leftists that is, why there are so many home-schoolers. The left won't allow vouchers, even though their constituents want them poll after poll.

Just sad.

Parenting is the hardest yet

Parenting is the hardest yet most rewarding job on earth.

My father was a genius with an IQ well above the genius level, but he was also an alcoholic wife-beater. My mother's IQ did not stack up well, but it was she that instilled in me the conservative values that I hold so dear. Because of her guidance I grew up being the opposite of my father. Not only did I not inherit his IQ, but I did not turn to alcohol (though I drink occasionally), and have never struck a woman. My mother should have won a Mom of the year award for every year she lived. Thank God for women like her!

The liberal MSM has become an enemy of the USA.

Thanks, balboa, for realizing

Thanks, balboa, for realizing the first three. I think the fourth conclusion flows from 1-3, however.

It stands to reason that if the supply of sane liberals caring about politics is used up in the media and people who primarily read the MSM, then the insane left will be the ones blogging and reading their blogs.

Being a sinner myself who has

Being a sinner myself who has not completely repented for her own use of bad language, I probably am not one to comment much on this issue!   I just think of all the things liberals have said about Bush that especially boggle the mind in their despictable, nasty, threatening, and violent content, with or without any accompanying bad language, that transcend any debate about the use of "cuss" words.   Saying he's Hitler, a Nazi, a murderer, evil, etc. and lamenting that Dick Cheney wasn't assassinated by the Taliban, and the last 7 or 8 years of unmitigated hate-speech against them and conservatives and general, I am not surprised by the results of this survey one bit.  It's encouraged and tolerated by the MSM and Hollywood.   They took cigarrettes out of movies but put in a whole lot of swearing!  In addition to the contempt for the US, traditonal values and conservatives.

   Also, if a liberal swears, doncha get it? he is demonstrating his coolness, his closeness to what's real, man, you know, the street!  It's where his deep convictions and profound voice are truly able to be expressed and heard!  It could even be so real as to be considered the sign of a great intellect; but conservatives are too rigid to comprehend the breath and width of that vast wasteland, I mean, concept, right?

Edited movies kathleen

There's a Christian Group that edits profanity,nudity and other stuff deemed inappropriate for younger viewers, from popular movies and then sells them.

Many movies are pretty good except for some gratuitous (sp?) stuff they put in there and would be great for kids, so it makes sense and the Networks tend to do it as well.

Wouldn't you know, Producers in Hollywood have raised a fuss, if not disallowed it.
They said it was "changing" the movie's original intent and was "cencorship".

One H'wood producer said a couple years ago that there was a "chill" in H'wood and that he wasn't writting much because you couldn't write anything "interesting" anymore.

So you see to a Liberal, it isn't "interesting" unless there is lots of gratuitous sex and swearing.

The best example is the movie Pleasantville. A movie that states that if you aren't engaging in swearing and promiscuity you are "black and white". boring. Square...

I am very sad about the sorry

I am very sad about the sorry state of our modern culture.  I agree with you.

I am sorry your wife has been so discriminated against.  I, too, have been the victim of liberal bias.   I was denied a promotion once and later was forced out of my job because one of the administrators hates, and I mean HATES Christians, especially one who goes to church as I do.  I found out later the whole sordid truth but I knew all along I was being harrassed unfairly.  I worked for my company with total dedication and sacrifice for over 20 years.  The ultralib hypocrites I worked with helped turn me to conservatism.  I used to be a liberal, too, not a religious one like them, but I realized how you have to tow their party line or face persecution.  I saw the truth of liberalism first hand, but also just living as a citizen in this wacky state.  My husband calls Deval Patrick "Coupe Deval".  It almost looked like the regular tax-paying educated citizens of this state were going to put it to those pols, but now I think everyone is tired of fighting and is ready to move out.  Free tuition for illegals and raising taxes on those of us who still legitimately work for a living.  Caddies and $72,000 a-year assistants on our backs.  What a bunch of skanks.

It's really not that hard in the short run and is only reasonble hard when someone is either cussing you out or tries to kill you on the road.

The fact that people think it's necessary to swear unprovoked is ridiculous.

Brilliant and long past due! Thank you Matthew. For quite some time, it's been on my mind that someone should undertake such an endeavor. Curious? How do the sources compare - # of liberal blog sites vs. conservative sites, which were searched.

Another worthwhile study, of course would be a comparative of how the press and their guests and pundits have used foul language in describing politicians. I suppose just the last two admin. would be sufficient. The list could include: idiot, stupid, liberal, conservative, neo-con, fascist, leftist, commie, nazi -- yes, that is a far more difficult task - but we can wish for it, and I suspect we all have a grasp of how the numbers might come in.

All clear-headed, prudent, smart-thinking Newsbusterites saw this same story in the often-imitated-but-never-duplicated World-famous Shrub Report® yesterday.

Patting one's own back is hard work, you know.

As for some of the Left-leaning lads and lasses who have come to this thread to deflect, deviate, and divagate from the story at hand, I can only say you miss the point.

Sure, Conservative bloggers use profanity, just like 99% of the population do. In most circumstances, the excessive use of profanity and vulgarity is a sign of ignorance, stupidity, and limited intelligence.

And isn't that a common aspersion thrown by the Left at the Right?

I smell Roger's First Rule of Liberalism at work here: Accuse the Right of doing exactly what the Left is doing.

By all means, ask if you need help cutting through the irony.

libs are complicit accomplices to their far left haters

By absolutely every measure, liberals are more vile and derogatory. Measure it by blog posts, by demographics, word-by-word usage. But most importantly, measure it by counting the number of times the media and elected officials demonstrate complicity toward the hateful, vile things that are directed at conservatives in leadership and talk-radio. Bush, Rush, Sean, etc., take a constant stream of volatile hate speech from the left and all you hear from democrats and liberals is crickets, crickets, crickets. They love it. They love to hear the far-left spew profanity and the most inane hate-speech toward our leaders. But Coulter indirectly calls Edwards a faggot ONCE, and behold how the scales have been tipped!! THE HYPOCRISY IS APPALLING, EVEN TO THE LEFT, THEY JUST HATE HEARING THEMSELVES OUTED.
Pragmatism always prevails... even Winston was once a lib.

smitty must be blind

Strange thing is... I see debate here every day. A never ending expose of leftist media and commentary from those pro and con. But as a conservative I have learned that when you debate with a lib, the contrary argument soon degrades into off-topic socialist truisms, or a general whine. Promote your thoughts, smitty, and let us counter, instead of whining about those that oppose your philosophy.
Pragmatism always prevails... even Winston was once a lib.

Here's what I love about

Here's what I love about this site. Someone actually decided that it is more worth while to spend hours of time and effort to count profanities on blogs, as opposed to posting something about a real issue (i.e. Walter Reed). If only the discrepency in the numbers you speak of was in relation to posts and stories about the Walter Reed incident.

The scandal at Walter Reed Medical Center is an absolute tragedy, and a gross mistreatment of wounded veterans. Yet, surprisingly, on this site (and among the band of carnival barkers like Hannity) profanity is a much bigger issue than proper treatment of veterans. Does it not make you sick?

SomerTeeth...First of all, it

SomerTeeth...

First of all, it was not someone from this site that put the numbers together. If you actually read was was written you would know that.

Secondly, having to stay in rooms that needed repairs while at Walter Reed is NOT a "gross mistreatment of wounded veterans". I'm guessing their stay in these rooms were a lot better than some of the places they had to stay in while in Iraq. Sure we want better for our soldiers, but it's far from being a "gross mistreatment of wounded veterans".

The liberal MSM has become an enemy of the USA.

Uhh, Ok. You might want to ask Bush, the Veterans Affairs secretary, or the two officials that just got fired if they view the problem simply as a "few needed repairs". You also might want to ask my brother, who just returned from Iraq 2 months ago to Ft. Campbell, KY. It's well beyond just a few rats and mold in an out-patient facility. It's a systemic problem across the entire veteran healthcare system. But, I'm sure it's easy for such a "great American" like yourself to dismiss this as a "few needed repairs".

You're a clown.

PRESIDENT GEORGE Bush has intervened in a scandal over how wounded US soldiers were treated after they returned home from Iraq or Afghanistan.

Speaking yesterday in his weekly radio address, Bush said the situation - in which soldiers were reported to have been treated in run-down, cockroach-infested facilities - was "unacceptable" and is "not going to continue".

Nicholson calls Walter Reed situation "absolutely unacceptable"

CAPITOL HILL The Veterans Affairs secretary says it breaks his heart.

Jim Nicholson says the substandard care and conditions some Iraq war veterans have been enduring at Walter Reed Army Medical Center are "absolutely unacceptable".

What's your point?Bush is rig

What's your point?

Bush is right... it is unacceptable. No argument from me. However, the media and the Dems are acting as if we fly our wounded soldiers out of Iraq and dump them on a street somewhere as soon as they get stateside.

The liberal MSM has become an enemy of the USA.

Hey, somerteeth, I totally agree with you on this Veteran issue.

Hey, somerteeth, I totally agree with you on this Veteran issue.

My question to you is how does spitting on our soldiers when they are in Airports and calling them 'Baby Killers' in front of Congress or on National TV help improve their care.

Further, where were you in your outrage from 1968-1995?

You are such a hypocrite I do not expect any rational answer.

The VA issues are just proof that the government is not a solution to any problem, no matter who one might be.

Thanks for all of your rather ignorant support.

ACA:

First of all, I think anyone who spits at or on soldiers is an idiot traitor. But, where in my post did I make that comparison, or where did I advocate those actions? Again, you seem to have trouble with reading comprehension. By the way, there is huge debate on the validity to some to the reported spitting incidents ("Great Expectorations"). In case you're interested, you also might want to check out some of the work Jerry Lembcke "Debunking A Spitting Image".

Second, you have no clue as to whether or not I've expressed outrage. I have been actively expressing my anger at this situation for several years (I've actually done something about it rather than write comments on a blog), as I've seen it first-hand with my brother in Ft. Campbell. Several of our friends and family served in the first Gulf War an are also serving in Iraq, and they have come back home to get inadequate medical care.

As for the VA being proof that Government is not a solution to any problem, once again you overlook the fact that privatization was the source of many of the problems identified at Walter Reed. Check out this article from the Army Times that discusses a memo from Garrison Commander Peter Garibaldi to Maj. Gen. George Weightman, where he specifically points to privatization as a huge problem.

Committee Subpoenas former Walter Reed Chief

.........The memorandum “describes how the Army’s decision to privatize support
services at Walter Reed Army Medical Center was causing an exodus of
‘highly skilled and experienced personnel,’” the committee’s letter
states. “According to multiple sources, the decision to privatize
support services at Walter Reed led to a precipitous drop in support
personnel at Walter Reed.”

Listen, ACA. I know you're a little bitter that you've gone from a staff position at the Board of Governers at the Fed to cruising the comment section of a blog, but save your lectures on veterans affairs for somebody else. No party (liberal or conservative) owns our soldiers.

Somerteeth, this is why your ideas suck. ACA

You seem to take a ground of moral superiority.  "Second, you have no clue as to whether or not I've expressed outrage. I have been actively expressing my anger at this situation for several years (I've actually done something about it rather than write comments on a blog), ..."

I started out my post with agreeing that Veterans always need the top flight of health care.

You've been expressing your anger for 'several years'.  Really?  I've been treated at the VA for 38 years.  OK?  Since you seem to know whether I'm 'bitter' about being reduced to commenting on a blog.

It's guys like you who talk out of both sides of your mouth that drive me nuts.

I would never wish a war on either the soldiers or the populance subject to it.  But, if I had a choice, I'd take the soldiers any day.  And I would not come to a Website and criticize a poster 'whilst making my own post?'  See my point yet?

So, you come here often with scorn and high horse attacks on Republicans and Conservatives (but of course I'm a bitter sort of guy, right?) and then expect everyone to roll over and say, "Geeez, this guy is smart?".

Don't work that way.

I am happy they fired the right guy over Walter Reed.  I wish they would fix it.  I don't think screaming about it from a point of view that a political point will be made first against the Bush Administration and second against the war is going to increase your credibility here.  Stay the hell off my soldiers.  Get it?

I'm just going to say one thing to you Somerteeth.  When you guys start denouncing Al Qaeda and terrorists in the same terms you guys attack my President, then I'll listen to you.  Until then, you are a hypocrite.

ACA,First, let me sincerely

ACA,

First, let me sincerely say that I respect and appreciate your service to the country. It's truly honorable. I'm sure you've seen a lot the last 38 years in the VA systems. And, I think you would have to admit that I my posts are always pro-soldier, which is why I've expressed so much anger over Walter Reed.

And I would not come to a Website and criticize a poster 'whilst making my own post?' See my point yet?

I find that to be an interesting comment, since you've criticized me not only within this post, but on several other posts. Kind of makes your comment hollow, doesn't it.
