Why is the Internet a hotbed of left wing "obscenity-clogged rants of anger and hatred," as Karl Rove describes it? Because conservatives are too busy leading active lives off the Internet — taking dance classes, for example — to contribute more on it, the nonstop iPhone carrier told NewsBusters.

I hate to sound sort of diffident about it but it strikes me that a lot of people on the right have got active lives and are doing other things and the idea of spending a lot of time on the Internet and taking their talents and displaying them there is not something they really do. But I'd like to see more of it, very creative conservatives using the Internet for those purposes.

Like Soren Dayton?

It seems Karl Rove has never been to WorldNetDaily.

Yeah and what of Freerepublic.com, Hotair.com and the message boards maintained by Rush, O'Reilly and Hannity's shows just to name a few (not that I recommend checking them out unless you have several minutes and several hundred brain cells to waste)? There's a ton of places for conservatives to "rant and rave" out there on the internet, but the fact is they're just less creative and motivated in how they do it.

maybe its because their ideas and opinions just sound plain stupid when they have to write it down in text.

Conservatives are still figuring out the "internets" and spend most of their time ranting and raving on AM radio shows (calling in on their land line phones no less).

@Kravis: Wow. Your thick protective layer of smugness really makes you impervious to sarcasm, doesn't it?

@matto: Wow. Irony truly is wasted on the stupid.

Re-read the post and think about:
1. Kravis
2. Rove
3. Spinning

If you squint really hard and get rid of your self-importance, you might even see the satire.

@matto: Nonsense. The last time a "your mom" post legitimately won, Netscape ruled the internet.

All jokes aside, those maternal visions are probably just hallucinations caused by the syphilis you contracted last year from that Cambodian streetwalker.

Only on a Karl Rove post would smears still be on topic.
