The runner-up, Jim Thompson, the owner of the right wing website Free Republic, which has moderated comments, meaning a grown up is supposed to read them and delete the crazier ones. But Thompson‘s folks waited as long as three days removing a comment thread devoted to the racist rage of a disturbing large number of his posters, possibly some of the same people who had previously conducted polls on the site on how best to topple the freely elected government of the United States.
After President Obama‘s daughter appeared in a t-shirt with a peace sign on it at the G-8, a thread at the Free Republic was opened with another photo of the first lady, captioned “to entertain her daughter, Michelle Obama loves to make monkey sounds.”
Some of the posts describe the Obamas, individually and collectively, as, quote, “typical street whore,” “bunch of ghetto thugs,” ghetto street trash,” “dirt bags,” “wonder when she‘ll get her first abortion,” “they make me sick, the whole family, mammy, pappy, the free loading mammy-in-law, the misguided children, and especially little cousin.”
No indication of how many of the racist attacks on Malia Obama were made by people who simultaneously were threatening anybody who even mentioned Sarah Palin‘s children. The most prominent response at Free Republic was not an apology, but rather the claim the comments were planted. This was, in turn greeted, by more racist comments by veterans of the site, and a call to action to flood the e-mail accounts of a list of the main stream media people, people like Don Imus of MSNBC, the “CBS Evening News” with Dan Rather, and Paula Zahn and Bill Hemmer and Tucker Carlson and Robert Novak of CNN.
Let me know if Dan Rather still answers his CBS e-mails, clowns.

Keith Smith you mean. hahahahaha
He was on CBS 2, I remember him well. He was NUTS and didn’t know jack about sports. He would go off on the set from what I read back then
Congratulations, Jim.
that’s me! When I went there. :)
THAT'S THE POINT!
“It was on Olbermann, so 6 people now know about it.”
You’re forgetting that its vacation season ;o)
Great Photos
Kos got his name wrong so did Parry and Olbermann. Because they got their story from Kos.
I am JIM THOMPSON
Hmmm....Bad Boy with a motorcycle? Jim Thompson is starting to sound hot.
Stop it! ROTFL
Former Illinois Governor Jim Thompson (R)
Damn Jim Thompson!
You are correct, he cracked his skull on a NY subway in 1980. I had thought it was much more recent. That fact explains what you saw of him in LA, and, thankfully, exonerates his late mother and her baby-handling skills.
His last name isn’t Robinson?
MSNBC’s new motto.
Our hosts don’t have clue what they are talking about.
The same DU that said Freudenschade instead of Schadenfreude? That DU? :-)
