http://www.dailykos.com/story/2007/1/28/11942/4635I found this interesting, because the diarist includes the attacks on Kerry as an example of their hateful vitriol on these sites:
Little Green Footballs
Pajamas media
Michelle Malkin
Instapundit
RedState
Hugh Hewitt
Captains Quarters
The Corner
Wizbang
Roger L. Simon
Guilt by association A picture of John Kerry talking to Khatami is all the proof one needs that the left hates America. Obama attended a Muslim school as a child, and therefore he is league with the terrorists. Anyone who talks to Michael Moore hates America. Hollywood is for anti-American lefties and most actors are anti-American.

RWBloggers are angry in general, and more angry than ever. RWBloggers often write comments in long threads and threaten to kill Michael Moore, suggest that Gore and Kerry be jailed, Barbara Streisand should be pilloried. Attacks on RWB are rarely just on principle. The attacks are on people, and/or groups of people who should all be jailed and tortured by Keifer Southerland. It’s vitriol maximus on RWB. Not much decency and almost no actual discussion unless it’s just an agree-a-thon. Ann Coulter could shit in their dinner plate and they would eat it.

It’s everyone else’s fault. Or it’s everyone’s fault. The carnage is the result of dead-enders, terrorists, and the press. It’s the Liberals fault, it’s John Kerry’s fault. Also, whenever there is blame, it should also be pointed at everyone. "Everyone saw the same intelligence"...etc. You will rarely find a criticism of Bush on RWB and when you do it is filled with disclaimers.
The whole diary is interesting, but it's helpful to understand that John Kerry is a major "enemy of the state" in the right wing blogosphere (not just the far right, but the mainstream right) and even though he's not running for prez, none of the attacks will stop. In fact, with the boldness we're going to see from Kerry in the Senate, I think it's going to get worse. So I think it's important that we in short order lick our wounds and get ready for the fight. I guess the best place to go is Memeorandum.com and Google to keep track of the attacks so that they can be counteracted.
