Do any of us progressives visit the republican (redstate or freeper villie) sites as much as they troll the DU? Im only asking because I often read how we democrats are bias, but I only go to progressive sites, are people from the DU trolling Republican Msg Boards? If so do you make comments or just read?

(3,596 posts)The challenge I have is it is very difficult to navigate. It reminds me of websites from about 15 years ago.
When you do finally drill down to an article or topic you see what you would expect........Faux Noise talking points.
There is no substantive dialogue. I find most posters just respond with one liner talking points they heard from Rush or Fox. Compared to DU which often has posters responding and posting with information from a variety of sources, not so much on FR.
They are a fairly insulated group that are full of hate, resentment and ignorance.

(27,430 posts)But I do have a Facebook "friend" from high school who posts a lot of RW trash. I haven't blocked him since it's one way to keep up on what the crazies are thinking. I find the comments fascinating in that they are almost uniformly intellectually lazy. They just parrot the whole Obummer is a Kenyan Muslim who wants to take away the guns and put everyone who disagrees in some damp. BENGAZHI!!
Once in a while I make a comment. I got banned from one site for just asking for a link to some crazy accusation that was posted.

(20,600 posts)I used to visit free republic often to see what they were saying, but have not done that in quite a while.
Unless you want to count discussionist, I have been browsing that site, and there are right wingers there.

(1,185 posts)Well they seem to seek out progressives, I like AlterNet i post there often and they are crawling all over the place, screaming Faux talking points gives me the creeps so I come back here to bathe in common sense when I get over loaded with BS.
