Liberal blogs: not as profanity laden as all that

Kevin Drum:

OK, fine. That said, is there anything more ridiculous than some wingnut counting up the number of alleged vulgarities on right-wing and left-wing blogs in order to prove.....what? Hard to say, though apparently "Yowsers" is the appropriate response.

But as it turns out, there is something more ridiculous than that: a wingnut who can't even count the vulgarities properly. Scott Eric Kaufman, probably in an attempt to procrastinate on his doctoral research, ran the numbers himself and it looks like the wingnut is off by about a factor of ten. Plus he's counting comments, but fails to notice that most big right-wing blogs don't allow comments. And even if you think comments are fair game, a lot of comment vulgarity is from spam.
