Exactly. Good article.

Bill O'Reilly has called Free Republic a hate site and he may now have some ammunition to back up that assertion.
"A typical street whore." "A bunch of ghetto thugs." "Ghetto street trash." "Wonder when she will get her first abortion."At a time when the administration is seeking any reason to squelch any speech it deems "hate", as well as the entities where that speech may be found, what the hell were these people thinking?These are a small selection of some of the racially-charged comments posted to the conservative 'Free Republic' blog Thursday, aimed at U.S. President Barack Obama's 11-year-old daughter Malia after she was photographed wearing a t-shirt with a peace sign on the front.
The thread was accompanied by a photo of Michelle Obama speaking to Malia that featured the caption, "To entertain her daughter, Michelle Obama loves to make monkey sounds."

I guess Bob didn’t get the latest on Chris Parry...
I have always wondered if those people that made those remarks were real Freepers. I didn’t recognize any of their names.
I thought Bob Parks was sane. I hate being wrong.
Lol at the Leprachaun.
>> The thread was accompanied by a photo of Michelle Obama speaking to Malia that featured the caption, “To entertain her daughter, Michelle Obama loves to make monkey sounds.”
Was it hate speech to call W a “chimp”?
Did this blog come out against that, in no uncertain terms?
O’Reilly is a putz....is that racist too?
You are transparently fickle.
Exactly. Good article.
Most likely David Letterman and his ilk posing as conservative posters.
That would be interesting to know. I wonder if Free Republic was set up. Hmmmmm.
Bob, I love your writing. However, you may be a little behind on this.
Hate Speech Against Malia Obama On Conservative Blogs Reported By Hate Speech Planting Journalist

*****Update: The Vancouver Sun article was posted at FR earlier today. Those interested should read some of the comments as they deal with what occurred there Thursday.
*****Update II: Maybe before Shuster goes any further with this, he might want to investigate the Vancouver Sun writer’s possible connection to Daily Kos (h/t NBer carolina09).
“HollywoodOz” has written some pretty vile stuff at DailyKos during his tenure. These included playing a mnemonics game wherein “BUSH” was “Bloody Useless Sack Of Hatred” and CHENEY was “Can He Eat Negro Eyes Yet.”
He’s also fond of creating Google bombs, including one in 2005 to make Bill O’Reilly look like a terrorist sympathizer.
What’s the connection to the Sun’s Chris Parry? Well, Moxie Online has a member named HollywoodOz, real name Chris Parry. Technorati also shows HollywoodOz as Chris Parry.
Beyond this, a man simply calling himself Oz runs a blog called Notes From the Nat which follows baseball, in particular the Vancouver Canadians. In 2006, a fan sent in an e-mail message wherein Oz was referred to as “the wizard of HollywoodOz, Chris Parry.”
Finally, DKos’s HollywoodOz often cites Vancouver newspapers and other Canadian media as he did here, here, and here.
Is this all a coincidence?
Maybe, but as you might imagine, the Freepers are up in arms about this revelation.
Will MSNBC and Shuster investigate any of this before they go ahead with this planned report?
Stay tuned.

I have to agree with you, Bob. Just because you have the right to say or do something doesn’t mean you should. Attacking the children is absolutely not acceptable. We hated it when the Bush girls were getting drunk in public and were attacked for their behavior, and they were much older. Sasha and Malia are children. They are innocent. They seem very sweet, and they do not deserve ugly racial invective.
Let’s criticize the president for his vile, stupid, destructive policies. But the kids have nothing to do with their father’s policies; leave them alone.
Did the article name the posters who made the offending posts? If so, you can search for their earlier posts on the Free Republic site. Upper right hand corner
Not sure if you caught the update Bob, the reporter who was pimping this may have been involved in actually creating the story. The reporter, Chris Parry was a member of the DailyKOS, hollywoodoz and in all of his very vile comments, advocates ‘attacking “negros” and blaming it on Republicans”. He even came here to try to defend himself and in doing so, admitted he had at least three accounts, two of which where zotted (probably for comments like these). His comments on KOS and his twitter are far more vile than anything he complained about here.
Too many newbies.
Too many signups since OCtober 2008.
We got trolled.
The story was planted by its author Chris Parry, a notorius Daily Kos blogger. See here: BOMBSHELL & FREEPER CALL TO ACTION on Daily Kos & Vancouver Sun Reporter [Hot Links @ #208]

What’s to prevent someone from the media to come here and post hate messages then go back and pull them up and say “See??”
