Liberal Blogs get way more traffic than conservative blogs.

See these sites for the numbers:

Newsbusters is the top conservative blog and gets around 734,000 hits a week. On the other hand DailyKOS gets nearly 4 million hits a week. There are 6 Democratic blogs that get over a million hits a week and not 1 conservative blog. Interesting numbers.

1. The future is very exciting. More people understand that....
the MSM is failing to keep them informed. I believe new news giants will rise on the internet. From the likes of Rawstory and DU people understand that you've got to go get your news on the internet. ..or watch another 1 hour segment on Paris Hilton or the latest missing white women. Fluff.... or news

3. We know how to read and write
Most conservatives only know how to watch cars with numbers going around in circles. Even then it's, "The Bud car is winning"

15. I hate stereotyping.
Even though I'm no fan of NASCAR, to assume that all conservatives watch it and/or that all NASCAR fans are conservative is inane.

I somehow don't picture George Will with a Tony Stewart cap on.

Not well known, just a former co-worker with a rw-christian blog who acts like and worships all the assholes mentioned above.

13. To be fair, we do have Alan Colmes.
:boring:

And of course, Joe Klein pretends to be a Democrat. He's the kind who's a Democrat every day except today.

12. Melanie Morgan might belong on that fine list
She may be just a freaky west coast radio host (KSFO), but she got a ton of exposer with that Astroturf™ movement - Move America Forward.

7. This shows that the liberal blog network has real power if we work together!
It looks like we have about 10 million bloggers checking in and out each week. Those are serious numbers! If talk radio guys like Rush Limbaugh can make waves with his 10 million listeners then we can punch right back with our 10 million bloggers! We just have to get organized, work together and realize how much power we really have here!

14. Of course they do.
The liberal blogs aren't as likely to cut off discussion of issues because they don't like what the commenter has to say.

16. The oligarchy truly ruling this country know this
They know this. That, despite nearly monopolizing the major media and spewing forth class-supportive rightwing lunacy 24/7, there remains an uncontrolled venue for the voice of the people. This is too dangerous to be allowed. Which is why I don't expect net neutrality to survive.
