Las Vegas Sun Wants Your Personal Information

What is it with liberals and privacy. The liberals love privacy (just ask them about abortion). but now, the extreme liberal Las Vegas Sun now wants to every thing about you.
So, to comment on their web site so your comment will appear on the same page as the story, the Sun wants the following information:
Your telephone number (with a promise to call you)
Date of birth
Gender
Real first name
Real last name
address including number, street, city, state, country and zip code
They say they are doing this so us commentators can be trusted commentator.
