Example.

Buckley et al did much to restore conservatism's hithertoo absurdly unintellectual base, by harking back to Burke and finding a suitable champion for their cause. We can rest assured that Burke would have found the modern tea partiers to be both dangerous and insane, in equal measure.

Rational Wiki is pretty blatantly ideological in both assumptions and spin.

Another example both of blatant bias and why I stopped reading liberal blogs even when I felt entirely on their side. Such a complete refusal to offer respect to your opponents is epistemically rude and super annoying for me to read.
