This and The Halfrican’s diary should be required reading by anyone with a media megaphone and a conscience.

Conservatism should be listed under sociopathic disorders in the DSM-4 and treated with the appropriate medication.

I’m assuming she is referring to Keith (where’s my Zoloft) Olbermann?!

I just love getting lectures from bottom feeders like these at the DailyKos.

Racist Attacks on the Obama Children: New Lows for the Racist Right? (UPDATED)
Posted by Joe on Jul 12th, 2009

CatM over at Dailykos counted something like 100 racist and gendered racist comments like these after the free republic posted the photo of Malia Obama, but only one of the comments dissented from this highly negative thread:

http://www.racismreview.com/blog/2009/07/12/racist-attacks-on-the-obama-children-new-lows-for-the-racist-right/

Apparently protests about these many racist, gendered-racist, and sexist comments got the thread pulled at the free republic site. The free republic had some postings by the infamous Von Brunn who attacked the Holocaust Museum. Something about the Internet allows this explosion of racist thinking from the most extreme forms of the old white racial frame, views once heard mostly by a few street corner extremists or in backstage settings of white friends and relatives. One wonders now just how widespread this commentary is now in the ordinary backstage settings across the country, especially given all the racist incidents we have discussed on this site over the last few years.
