While I was over at free republic I noticed a huge difference in our posts
Not the obvious difference of the fact that we are more informed than them, but the fact that Du'ers ALWAYS posts links to articles and websites, no matter what the political persuasion. What O'Rielly said, for instance, is mentioned here all the time. How often do you see a person over at freepville put up a link to the Daily Show or Noam Chomsky?

I think this is PROOF that we are more informed than them. They can claim liberal bias all they want but they don't care enough to try to prove it.

Plus, there are some naughty DU'ers over there just baiting the poor bastards. I probably read at least 3 or 4 things that slipped through the mods that were most definitely written by someone here. Now while I usually applaud tormenting freepers, sometimes it is too easy.

3. I agree with your major premise, but if they were to start referencing

their posts, you know they'd use today's non-credible media sources such as Faux News, WSJ, Washington Times, Drudge, Rush, Hannity, etc.

(Edited to list additional website.)

4. Their political beliefs are faith-based.
No proof necessary. They believe it because they've been told to believe it.

Now there are plenty of issues with no right or wrong answer. There's plenty of room to debate left, right, up or down on most issues. But the official right wing line on most subjects these days is easily debunked.

6. They Also Post The Entire Article
Possibly multiple and intentional instances of copyright infringement?
