that it depends on where you sit.

But...to give you a point, DU (to me at least) seems not to have the edge that FreeRepublic has.

However, it's also dangerous to use DU and/or Free Republic as the end-all/be-all of Left and Right. There are some...well...extremist Left out there that make DU look conservative. I suspect that there are extreme right-wingers that make Free Republic look leftist as well.

I really think it depends on where you sit.
