Free Republic

Chris Parry of the Vancouver Sun recently wrote an article about a bunch of nasty comments posted about Obama’s 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...

It started out with the Vancouver Sun, and it made it down to MSNBC's David Shuster and Dem Strategist Joe Trippi

The Daily Kos is scoring a lot of political points against Free Republic with the race and children cards. It was not our finest hour. But just how saintly and pure of thought are the Kossacks? Here’s the original Kos diary from Thursday that got the ball rolling against FR.The Kos diarist who posted the piece, Halfrican, closed his report on the FR thread with this wish for Freepers and their children:I hope all these Freepers have children that grow up to either marry black people or f*** them in high school. (asterisks added.)But we're the racists, right? I wonder...

Well, should've seen this coming: conservative blog Free Republic fired hate speech off at Malia Obama after this photo of her appeared, letting their commenters go to town. But the journalist who reported this as news isn't innocent, either. Chris Parry of The Vancouver Sun highlighted some of the comments on the mainstream, hard right-wing blog/news aggregator Free Republic. Among them, a picture of Michelle talking to Malia Obama with the caption: "To entertain her daughter, Michelle Obama loves to make monkey sounds." Classy. These mouthbreathing, borderline morons then kept piled on: "A typical street whore." "A bunch of ghetto...

-snip- *****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...

<p>Freepers, get the word out loud and wide. The Vancouver Sun "journalist" Chris Parry that defamed Jim Robinson and FreeRepublic is none other than radical left blogger "Hollywoodoz" at the Daily Kos. In addition to writting for the Vancouver Sun, Chris is a frustrated and failed internet entrepreneur, having launched many websites and blogs, all of which have virtually no traffic, following, or success. Chris also writes movie reviews, though these are pretty lame.</p>
