Chris Parry of the Vancouver Sun recently wrote an article about a bunch of nasty comments posted about Obamas daughter Malia on Free Republic:
A typical street whore. A bunch of ghetto thugs. Ghetto street trash. Wonder when she will get her first abortion. Could you imagine what world leaders must be thinking seeing this kind of street trash and that we paid for this kind of street ghetto trash to go over there? wrote one commenter.
blah, blah, blah snipped
Those comments are pretty stupid. As much as I dislike Obama and his policies and his lack of honest with the public, and as much as I think hes taking this country in the absolute wrong direction, his family doesnt deserve comments like this. And such comments certainly arent productive, politically. People who might have been swayed by arguments focusing on Obamas policies are just going to be turned off by such nonsense.
And besides, FreeRepublic.com isnt alone in having comments like this. They happen at any blog with open comments liberal, conservative or otherwise. Im sure I could troll through the comments at Daily Kos, for instance, and come up with no small amount of mean-spirited and hateful invective aimed at the Bush family, including the twins Jenna and Barbara. Cherry-picking a few threads of comments and using those comments to smear an entire website and/or group of people is a silly game serious political commentators should stop playing.

I dont know if some or all of the FreeRepublic comments were, in fact, staged by Parry or others but certainly this undermines Parrys credibility.

As a reminder to your general public, Americans don’t do “taint of blood”, it’s in the Constitution.
Offspring are not guilty of the sins of the parents unless or until the offspring grow up and continue in their parents’ footsteps.
Gee, do you think MSNBC will pick up and feature this story?
I’m kind of curious about why the left doesn’t have anything to say about comments posted on the neonazi sites like stormfront.
Why pick out a handful of posts at FR when stormfront and others are probably nothing but racist comments?
Could it be that racism isn’t what the left is really concerned about but a valid threat to their grip on power from the mainstream right? Or is it that the neonazis and left have merged into one and are hoping that no one notices?
David Duke still has a webpage dedicated to Cindy Sheehan and its been up for several years now. I have yet to see even one story about that klansman supporting a far lefty. Stormfront was even encouraging members to send money to support Sheehan.
Duke’s page that I won’t link to.

I am shocked........ ;-)
I find it interesting that Parry would take the time to do this. If he’s an obama supporter, he should know that his guy won. So what’s the point? Seems like he’s just trying to make a name for himself - in an odd way. I guess I should ask him.
Mr. Parry, what’s your point?
Perhaps he should be reported to the CHRC to enjoy their tender (sic) hospitality and investigative methods.
Help ourselves and FreeDominion at the same time as I’d be willing to bet that he’s been a major thorn in their side as well.
GOOD NEW ALERT
The Kossacks already realize the big game is lost as per this post:
We Gotta Find a Way to Reach Gen X (0+ / 0-)
that block that keeps polling more Republican than kids and boomers. They matured under Reagan and they’re going to be voting for a long time to come.
The Vancouver Sun will probably give Parry a promotion and a raise.
JR’s a sinner just like the rest of us.
Maybe there's a separate place to post these lovely little leftist “tolerance” lessons, so we can collect them and have them handy for folks like Kristinn to throw back at idiots like David Shuster (or Bill O’Reilly) when they get the opportunity.
Its actually a pretty typical liberal strategy to reach deep within themselves for some secret animus or sin and accuse conservatives of just such an animus or sin.
therefor whenever you hear such accusations from a particular liberal — its always helpful to track down their own comments on the same topic in a different context.
NEW/NEWS
Just scored a ban on IRC for myself arguing over this one. They’re hopeless, they really believe they have the high ground.
I did a quick search of the Vancouver Sun website and could not find Chris Parry’s information. His articles are STILL posted though.
AMEN!
And it’s no surprise to us. FReepers are the best!
Someone posted they think he is just a stringer.
He got into it with a few Freepers on a thread about him....but stopped after he realized that he wasn’t dealing with what he believed to be “redneck, gun-toting, uneducated religious nuts”.
That’s one big weakness on the left -
they believe what they tell each other in their
lefthanded circlejerks.
