Faux's John Gibson cites anonymous posts on liberal blogs as proof of the "angry left"

Liberal Bloggers' Low Blows About Tony Snow
By John Gibson

<snip>

My last e-mailer demanded to know who would post ill wishes to Tony. OK, the Daily Kos is one. It is written from Berkeley, California, and it is a place where Ted Kennedy and Harry Reid and John Kerry and John Edwards post messages to attract liberal voters.

Yesterday at 11 in the morning somebody named Winsmith posted on the Daily Kos: "Why do I have to pretend I care about Tony Snow? That I'm praying for him? I don't. I'm sorry to hear he has cancer. Other than that I'm not going to give that lying bleep another thought."

At 1:55 in the afternoon somebody else wrote on the Daily Kos: "Tony Snow killed 3,242 Americans. Bleep Tony Snow."

On the left-wing blog Think Progress, at 1 in the afternoon somebody named Buzzbomb wrote: "Hundreds of people are diagnosed with cancer everyday. It sucks for anyone. Why the fawning for a bleep like Snow? He's the mouthpiece for a group of thugs that have hijacked our country."

...

By the way, you could find this same sort of garbage on The Huffington Post, run by Arianna Huffington, who now puts herself forward as a power broker on the left. She should be ashamed too for letting that stuff onto her Web site. She was embarrassed because she did take it down, but she never should have let it go on in the first place.

That's My Word.



:crazy:

16. Yeah, but Elizabeth Edwards
isn't Tony Snow, and so she "doesn't matter" or whatever. :sarcasm: :puke: :grr: Look, Gibbie, cancer is a horrible disease and I don't condone anyone rejoicing over anyone else's suffering, but even you have got to acknowledge that yes, there are jerks on both sides of the aisle. If you're going to focus on people being assholes about cancer, then why don't you actually live up to Fox News' "fair and balanced" bullshit slogan and provide some counter-claims of freepers saying rude things about Elizabeth Edwards? Or at the very least, acknowledge that there have been many sympathetic and well-wishing posts here about Tony Snow. :banghead: Fox.

21. That is what I thought as well.
It did not bother me that he exposed the asshats that calling Snow every name in the book, but he should have referenced conservative sites that said shit about Mrs. Edwards. BTW thanks to Skinner the Tony Snow posts were mostly very caring and understanding.

4. And I'd put up the vitriol regularly expressed on FreakRepublic
on a daily basis about just about anyone to the left of Darth Vader against these comments (reprehensible as they are) any day.

And since John Gibson doesn't have a serious disease (except for acute assholery), I feel entirely free to suggest that he go f&ck himself.

6. Their insanity is reported as "some critics"
When are our people going to get what they do and call them on it.

7. All pretty tame compared to a typical Mike Savage show.
But I guess a few anonymous blog comments are more significant than someone with a national radio show.

11. Like how the left is composed entirely of angry lesbians and pedophiles?
Sorry, I couldn't help it. Definitely just another fuckwit.

14. You know and I know...
that there very well could be people posing as "liberals" on those sites for the very purpose of discrediting them. Sorry Johnny but it just ain't gonna fly.

15. Forum members on conservative sites brag about how they infiltrate sites like DU and DKos
so they can make discrediting posts. Those posts you see rooting for the insurgents, or advocating flag-burning, or slamming an ill Tony Snow? Chances are, they're actually coming from those you would least expect.

19. a very major news anchor for a major network attacked Elizabeth Edwards, but Gibson doesn't care
and I gotta say, those bloggers are right about Snow for the most part. I couldn't give a shit about him, I am not going to pretend that I have any sympathy toward him, and I won't be praying for someone that rich with that much access to medical care.
