Ignorance and Name Calling Prominent In Right-Wing Blogs

It amazes me how pathetic, ridiculous and ignorant some right-wing bloggers are. Blog after blog, forum post after forum post, many on the right demonstrate just how hateful and dishonest they truly can be. Instead of arguing the issues and backing their party's position with facts, they simply resort to misinformation, name calling and lies. I guess they get their playbook from Fox News, Bill O'Reilly, Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh and other right-wing nuts. Just take a look at some of these samples:

The Hill Chronicles

"We know she is smarter than Aunt Jeremiah, but she talks like Buckwheat." (reference to Michelle Obama)

"You do not believe Obama is another Hitler? You are insulted by the reference to him and Mein Kampf? I suggest you listen to Hail Obama." (with embedded video comparing Obama to Hitler)

"Let me see here. Osama oops, I mean Obama, you know that “Hussein” guy that wants us to call him Barack?"

"Bring it on all you liberaltards!"

This blogger also professed to have 'proof' that Obama is a Muslim and determined to destroy America. The so-called 'proof' was an email from missionary friends in Africa, but this story and other distorted facts and lies were removed when visitors began questioning the authenticity of her so-called facts.

Visit The Hill Chronicles and see what I'm talking about for yourself, but don't try and post opposing comments - you'll be banned from the site in short order.

Autorotate's Flying Circus

This guy just makes stuff up. Here's an excerpt from a post titled "Obama's Convention Speech: Intercepted by the Circus":

"My fellow Americans: As your future President I want to thank my supporters, for your mindless support of me, despite my complete lack of any legislative achievement, my pastor's relations with Louis Farrakhan and Libyan dictator Moamar Quadafi, or my blatantly leftist voting record..."

Other informative titles and buried gems...

"Napalm in the Morning: Biden's an Abortion Machine"

"Okay so basically he's promoting taxing the oil companies to pay for more hand-outs to the poor. Awesome, Robin Hood."

"I told ya people, this is how sick the left is. Thankfully, the envelope was sent to the McCain office and not the Obama office, for fear that it might have been snorted and confused for another suspicious white powdery substance from Obama's formative years." (referring to recent threatening letters sent by Arapahoe County Jail inmate Marc Harold Ramsey to McCain campaign offices in Colorado and New Hampshire. Manipulated photo of Barack Obama sitting behind pile of white substance inferring he's a coke head or behind the attack.)

Don't bother visiting. The author seems about as sane as Colonel Kurtz from the film Apocalypse Now which he's obviously obsessed with. Reading this blog is like a trip up the Nung River.

UPDATE: Autorotate responds with smears and name calling. Thanks for proving my point.


Stop Obama-Vote McCain 2008!!

The author uses the names "Barack 'Hussein' Obama" and "Hollywood Hussein" in post after post. He's obviously trying to infer that Obama is possibly Muslim plus a threat to America and his popularity is all hype. There are so many posts tainted with lies and misinformation on this site it's too much to list here. See for yourself and comment where you find dishonest posts (most everywhere). This blogger also likes to plant misinformation in blog forums like BlogCatalog, but rarely defends his positions.

Not all conservative bloggers are full of hate and inclined to spread misinformation and lies like those above. I find the following blogs to be more balanced and factual although I don't always agree with their assessments:

Right Commentary

(Sorry, I only found one. Balanced, sane, right-wing bloggers are hard to find and I'm open to suggestions here.)

Whatever blog post or news article you may encounter - left or right - it's a good idea to fact check: http://www.factcheck.org/
