The Weekly Standard ran a story (diary on it over
here) where the author decries the "uncivil" discussion ot DailyKos:
On the Daily Kos, civility is in chronically short supply.
The writer laments that there is "little regard for common decorum" and also that DailyKos "produces a surfeit of unseemly commentary on a recurring basis".
The author goes on to say that a DailyKos post was ridiculed in "the saner precincts of the blogosphere". And the author links to Little Green Footballs, apparently as being representative of this "saner" blogosphere.
Let's see what is on the "saner precinct" of the blogosphere":
LGF refers to Islam as "Religion of Pieces" (mocking Bush's claim that Islam is a "religion of peace")
And I implore you to find anywhere on DailyKos the much used LGF line of "FOAD" (fuck off and die).
LGF is one of the most intolerant and anti-Islamic sites around, one that spews vile hatred towards anyone of Arab decent. Here are
comments from ONE thread, showing the LGF reaction to Don Imus calling Palestinians "ragheads", and "pigs who live in their own filth"
"I'm not a big fan of Don "Anus", but for once it sounds like he has finally bellowed something sensible from that collapsed lung of his -
The PaleSimians are filthy animals."..
" What's wrong with calling a spade a spade?"
"They choose to live like animals, stop whining about it."
"I'm offended on behalf of animals everywhere."
"yet on this point I agree except I would substitute 'Palestinians' with 'all Arabs'."
"The Islamopussyfascistassholes can dish it, but they can't take it."..
" They really are animals! Dirty rotten stinking animals with no brains!"
Muslim Americans are "racist, bigoted, misogynist, homophobes with a propensity to murder and maim your own and others without compunction or condemnation."..
" I think its time Christians and Jews wadge a lawsuit against the racist hate-filled Koran to have the offensive bits removed."
Listen, these animals were dancing in the street and handing out candy to "celebrate" 9/11.
Nuke them. I want to dance and hand out candy.
We're up to 1.2 Billion [Muslims in the world]? They must multiply like McDonalds hamburgers! I don't even like Imus and I would defend him against this sort of cencorship. Hey CAIR [Council on American-Islamic Relations]-we ain't in arabia yet-so FOAD [fuck off and die] -you and the goat you rode up on!
Palis are "filthy animals" (mmm, felt good writing it!)
They are animals! The very lowest form of animal...single cell life forms that have no souls! ...Why don't we just nuke these people?! I don't understand....ad I don't want to understand.
That's an insult to animals, "spawns of satan" is what they are.
Instead of calling them 'ragheads', though, he should switch to 'little sheet head'.
I wish CAIR would visit and read Little Green Footballs, then maybe they will get the message loud and clear that we are not going to put up with murderous islam and their quest to rule the world....Death to you CAIR, Death to islam. Read it and weep.
It sounds like Imus offended the camel-raping dog-fucking wombat-nuzzling towel-headed left-handed-ass-wiping illiterate wife-beating savages!
Muslimes are the scourge of the earth.
I cannot show them tolerance and compassion for they will sta.b me in the back with...This world would be a better place without them
Raghead is not an acceptable term....They are actually fucktards.
sand monkeys is preferable, in my way of thinking...but with them in the crosshairs, i really don't care, so long as they splat into a red mist.
Ah, I see our muslim appeaser is on LGF. (in response to a lone post that it's "like calling a black person the 'N' word, and then wondering why he is offended.)
Wait until PETA gets hold of this story. They'll trash Imus for demonizing animals.
Our Trolls are always defending the islamic scum.
Virtually all civilised states that have been foolish enough to allow muslims in, will be affected by jihad.
All towel and no jihad, fucking animals!!
Nothing will surprise me of the depths of depravity that Islam will sink to.
The I-man is not the enemy. The Muslims are.
Don Imus - I like this guy - he tells the truth. Thick muslims don't like the truth.

Update [2005-3-2 10:56:23 by georgia10]:: Added some context. I read the Free Republic. I read LGF. And I can state unquivocally that DailyKos is a thousand times more "civil" than either of them.
