I pop over to USA Today's blogs once in a while, to get the pulse of the average ugly American on the street. It's dominated by rightwing activists, assorted bigots, and conservative propagandists of all sorts; it's a shame USA Today puts the quotes of these people at the top of their website. It really does boil down to propaganda on USA Today's part. But it's not just the propaganda, it's the HATE; the absolutely mindnumbing ferocity of the bigotry against all things brown, foreign, or female.
But with all this talk of O'Reilly and his attacks on DailyKos for the "hateful" comments his interns very well could have posted here themselves, I'm shocked that nobody points to the mainstream media to critique the really ugly hate that comes from their websites. Kos pales in comparison.
Because if the MSM isn't going to critique themselves on the extreme levels of hate coming from their own sites (almost all rightwing hate I might add), then how can they get away with attacking websites like DailyKos? And how can they propose that Democrats not deal with the decent people on Kos, just like Democrats deal with USA Today, since not everyone who reads USA Today is a lunatic? How do they get away with that double standard?
Answer: They can't. They don't. Not with any legitimacy.
Here's an aperitif from the comments I found on USAToday... just tonight... to wet your palate.

"She said she and Murphy dated for four months in 2006 before mutually deciding to have a child."
So, they "mutually decided" to have an ILLEGITIMATE child. What IS it about BLACKS and having ILLEGITIMATE children??

MelB is probably a witch. It's nice to hear though that Eddie paid for her pregnancy and IS making child support payments. I wonder why MelB is going through all of this drama...probably attention. What's new...for women it's not enough to just get money and move on...they want to bask in the mistakes of their lives. MelB/Scary...things happen welcome to the American...you'll probably naturalized now and can live out your days in Santa Monica.

F them flag burning bee-atches... They want death to the USA and have no problem expressing it. ANY American should be able to express the same feelings back without our ineffective politico's using the media in an attempt to suppress the masses.
Given the chance, many Paki's, Iranians, Saudi's, Syrians, just to name a few, would love to exterminate every American. Where are our leaders that are willing to finally stand up, stop bending over for every ninny that comes along, and will defend the USA. The masses are fed up with all this cr@p and are beginning to support candidates that are willing to take substantial measures to really have an effect in the world.
Either we go to war with a real intention of making a difference or we dont go at all... Enough of this dragging our feet and getting our military killed, so that some foreign pukes can continue to collect US $$$$

I'm sure there is plenty enough to convict this dog of the crimes he orchestrated. He is a loser and a crook and is in denial that the NOLA of old is GONE and a new, improved, thriving, vanilla NOLA is taking hold. Nagin and the Morial family and the Jefferson family are HISTORY. SEE YA . DON'T LET THE JAIL BARS HIT YOU IN THE A$$.

People, let's show some compassion, save money and rule out the possibility of this young person ever doing anything like this again! Execute him, and may I suggest it be by invitation only on the steps of Colimbine(?) High School in Colorado? Students must learn, that's why they are called students, and obviously the lesson 'you do not kill people' is not being absorbed by some. Let's offer them an example of a 'basic law', "an eye for an eye" then perhaps the lesson will be taken seriously.
