Yes, although that does not rule out leftist trolls. Some of the "conservatives" on Wikipedia have seemed to be doing that, unless conservatism is a symptom of developmental disability.

Honestly, Conservapedia is one step removed from http://www.wikiality.com/Main_Page on most subjects with the tone of writing, but that's their bag. For the strident attack sites definition, technically Conservapedia does indeed count--it links to and facilitates the 'attacks'. In practice, it's probably not.
