Mapes: 'Ha-Ha: Right-Wing Bloggers Don't Matter Any More'

Mary Mapes is in gloat over-drive. Dan Rather's erstwhile producer, the woman behind Memogate, is beside herself with joy at what she sees as the impending death of the conservative blogosphere.
It's her expectation that Barack Obama will win the presidency that has Mapes so hopeful. Annotated excerpts from her HuffPo column, The Monster is Dying [emphasis added]:
* This whole thing is starting to feel a lot like the climactic death scene at the end of a 1950s monster movie. * Palin actually resembles that old monster movie staple -- the beautiful-but-bookish brunette working as a lab assistant for the older scientist whose irresponsible experiments lead to tragedy.
Gee, with one or two emendations, couldn't that be a description of . . . Mapes herself?

No, we will have to go undergound. These people are marxists and marxists tolerate NO dissent.

My gosh where do these people get these descriptions and “fantasies”. I mean that is not even intelligent to come up with some 1950 movie with the disgusting descriptions of McCain and Palin. I think this is worse than some of the stuff they have called Palin. This is so low that I am stunned.

Hardly, the right wing blogsphere will grow in such proportions in the near term after the election that Mapes won’t know what happened to her fantasy views.

OK, that’s enough Mary, Back to work.
As, I was saying, I’ll have a Whopper with cheese, fries and a medium Coke.
And tell Rather in the back there to make sure the fries are hot this time.

She’s wrong. I see the leftwing politico sights and lefty bloggers dropping out in droves. One well known lefty site is up for sale now.
Most of those sites began in 2001 to counter the right.
They think they’ve won.
Conservatives will get stronger.

We’ll have to relocate FR. The Democrap Govt (Pelosi, Reid and Obomba) will implement their Fairness Doctrine on the Internet as well. Freeping will be a hate crime.
