Comments on: The Conservative Cultists Get More Deranged http://www.oliverwillis.com/2006/02/23/the-conservative-cultists-get-more-deranged/ Like Kryptonite To Stupid Sat, 20 Mar 2010 03:26:36 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: mjb http://www.oliverwillis.com/2006/02/23/the-conservative-cultists-get-more-deranged/#comment-24216 mjb Fri, 24 Feb 2006 18:02:50 +0000 http://improveman.com/ow2008/?p=1445#comment-24216 I comment there all the time and am continually amazed that the blog of the largest, most well-known rightwing media "watchdog" is populated almost exclusively by an extreme, fundamentalist christian element. To me, even though it was started by fundies, it should have a much more diverse bent if it is the biggest of the conservative watchdogs. Of course, part of the problem is that the media (fox especially) give Bozell more attention than he diserves, thus boosting the site's numbers, although the only people interested enough in what newsbusters says to comment are the radicals which make up MRC's audience (and trolls like me). Ask them what objective standards they use, they mock you and tell you to read the MRC website (which says nothing about objective standards). Ask them how they judge christophobia, which is a pet cause of theirs, only fueled on by fox, they say "any way they want to because liberals get to do the same with homophobia" (untrue, which further illustrates the point that they are purely religion and emotion driven). The authors frequently respond to comments to their posts, which is nice, but they are frequently as ignorant as their commenters.
