The women for women only people scare the crap out of me.  These people aren't interested in Democracy...too many of them are taking out their childhood or young aduthood repressions out on Obama.  It kills me to see these women using not so subtle racist code words to discuss Obama, then end, "You go girl!" or "We got your back."  And still don't get why I laugh at them.

What really concerns me is the constant pumping-up of hatred that goes on over at some of those blogs.  Somehow they've morphed Obama into this bloodthirsty, woman-hating Stalin-like figure, and you've got groups like No Quarter and Hillaryis44 that continue to feed the image by now associating it with increasingly violent images of black men.

It'd be funny but for my fear that one of their completely out-of-control readers is going to haul off and kill somebody one of these days.

Be nice to America. Or we'll bring democracy to you country.

link please?
I don't read Taylor Marsh, I only glance at No Quarter. While I think some of No Quarter's posts have been ill considered, I don't remember anything like what you are describing.

You can start here.  That's a fun one, questioing Obama's "true allegiances".  Plenty more.

Marsh is nowhere near the worst.  In fact, I've said in the past that I believe Marsh's allegiance to Hillary is purely selfish.  She wants back on the radio, and she wants connections that will allow her to do that.

Linked to that one is this one.

Lovely people, really.  All in desperate need of medication.

You haven't been there very much then. It's impossible to avoid. Wear thick shoes if you waddling in that mud.
