The 'Outraged' tally
Neal Boortz and his crew did an interesting news search the other day:We started talking about all of the "Muslims Outraged" newspaper headlines we had seen over the years. Using the Yahoo search engine I looked for the number of hits on various versions of "Muslims Outraged." We put the phrase into quotation marks so that it would only show a hit where those words appear together. That particular grammatical usage would more often appear in headlines than in the body of a story where the phrase would more likely be "Muslims were outraged." So .. here are your results:
Democrats Outraged | 45,600 hits |
| Muslims Outraged | 35,600 hits |
| Republicans Outraged | 13,800 hits |
| Catholics Outraged | 11,500 hits |
| Christians Outraged | 2,990 hits |
| Jews Outraged | 2,060 hits |
| Libertarians Outraged | 57 hits |
| Buddhists Outraged | 24 hits |
