Did any conservative websites do an anti-SOPA blackout today?

I went over to FR and although they didn't do a blackout today, public opinion over there was pretty strongly against SOPA.

I was shocked to learn that Sensenbrenner is very much against it.

On edit: the support the blackout lists, I meant.

i think most were against it. but most conservatives follow things like talk radio and Fox news rather than internet.

i don't think most are aware of it.

The "still functional" attempts are still a nice gesture, but DU went full on with their blackout. I hope ya'll called your Reps!

I don't think this is a right/left/conservative/liberal fight. Oddly, F James Sensenbrenner is very much against it.
