I'll have to try posting a test comment when I'm not logged in as an admin of the site, and see if it really does strip the links. The post of Heidi's you refer to is simply more evidence of right-wing eliminationist rhetoric.

They seem to be getting more racist and <a href="http://euphoria.jarkolicious.com/journal/2006/04/28/2250/">bloodthirsty</a> every day. It’s sad, isn’t it?
