MyDD—The Cesspool of Hate

Bravo to Bob Johnson for his #1 recommended diary at MyHRC:

While many at MyDD rail against Daily Kos as the “Great Orange Satan,” one has to wonder how MyDD is any better. The vile posts at MyDD (echoed at other so-called progressive blogs such as TalkLeft, Taylor Marsh and NoQuarter) spew the kind of venom and hatred one usually finds at the worst of the loony rightwing blogs.

I can understand some bitterness at having a favored candidate appear to be increasingly on the verge of losing the race—that is a normal part of every hotly-contested presidential primary—but the bitterness on display at MyDD is in a class by itself.

The demonizing of every elected Democrat who has endorsed Obama and the suggestions that Obama is a racist or is a Manchurian candidate for black power or racist puppetmasters marks those writers as seriously delusional and filled with hate.

No, you are not a Democrat if you make those kinds of off-the-wall accusations against good Democrats. You have become an unhinged fanatic.

A small handful of B to C-list lefty blogs have been pointing out the creeping racist douchebaggery from allegedly lib/Dem blogs “supporting” Hillary, but so far (correct me if I’m wrong) no A list bloggers have spotlighted this sick new trend.  It’s good news, at the very least, that this MyDD diary (and its message) is getting the attention it deserves. Now it would be great if someone on par with Digby, Kevin Drum or Glenn Greenwald (just to name a few) took a stand on this as well.

Very busy today.  I hope to write more on this later.

Is this THE Kevin a minority voice of sanity in the comments section of No Quarter?

Your patience is unparalleled, i don’t even know where to begin half the time. A healthy sense of humour a must!

Enjoying your blog (That i discovered yesterday) keep it up my man!

d.

Douglas, I have been posting very infrequently as “Rumproast.” I’ve never posted as “Kevin,” so I don’t want to take credit for anyone else’s work. I did have a pretty good funny on the “Obama = George Wallace” post, but it looks like that was deleted.

Stick around and thanks for stopping by.

Hah! Awesome...definetly will. There is a commenter called Kevin who holds his own at every turn! Coincidence clearly...but glad i’ve found somewhere exposing the insanity!
