1. I probably did half of them.
i usually come to this site at least 50 or more times a day. I come read and then come back 1/2 hour later to get updates. If you want to find something out...this is the place. The rest of the sites are behind times.

3. Nice. Looks like the freeps only have the one site
that they can all flock to like good little lemmings?

5. townhall is a RW site, too
I'm surprised freeperville is #1, though.

7. If you add up all but the RW sites, you get 20%...so we are WAY ahead of them.
No doubt most of us go to more than one site.

8. Yep, it looks like they are hitting the same site & look at few others.
Kind of insulated, but I expected that.

9. Antiwar.com is Libertarian.
From its Web site.

"The founders of Antiwar.com were active in the Libertarian Party during the 1970s; in 1983, we founded the Libertarian Republican Organizing Committee, to work as a libertarian caucus within the GOP. Today, we are seeking to challenge the traditional politics of "Left" and "Right." At present, none of the existing parties or activist groups offers an effective vehicle for principled libertarian politics. Yet, even in the absence of a party of liberty, we cannot abstain from the struggle. We strive to lead the non-interventionist cause and the peace movements that many respected institutions have forgotten."

14. 'humanevents' is conservative too; 'numbersusa' is anti-immigration
I can't see we can get too excited about this.

11. I saw this on Free Republic, and they were touting their #1 spot...
I tried to understand these metrics. Sitemeter has a WHOLE different story. On sitemeter, KOS is in the top 20 sites... SITES, not just political sites.

16. I suspect many of the hits on Freakrepublic are just
sane people looking for a good laugh. I particularly enjoy the "Daily Dose", where the cretins gather together to slobber and drool over the latest pics of Chimp & Co.

There's always at least one post about what a handsome chap the boy blunder is, and how wonderful it is that he and Pickles are obviously still deeply in love...unlike ______ and _______, who always just happen to be Democrats.

Hard to believe there are still that many morans left after seven years.

17. I guess I'll just have to visit DU more often
Which would be pretty hard to do since I'm on here all the time.
