The popular conservative blog Free Republic is facing intensified scrutiny over its reader comments policy -- and its role in the American political debate -- after the blog's moderators allowed vicious attacks on the Obamas' 11-year-old daughter to remain on the site for more than a day.
And the bloggers who submit stories and discussions to Free Republic are fighting back against news outlets that have reported on the controversy, attacking the reporters who brought attention to the issue.
An article that appeared in the Vancouver Sun on Sunday described a thread entitled "To entertain her daughter, Michelle Obama loves to make monkey sounds," in which a discussion arose surrounding a photo of 11-year-old Malia Obama wearing a t-shirt featuring the peace sign.
Among the comments on that thread, according to the Sun, were: "A typical street whore." "A bunch of ghetto thugs." "Ghetto street trash." "Wonder when she will get her first abortion."
The Sun reports:
Moderators of the blog left the comments - and commenters - in place until a complaint was lodged by a writer doing research on the conservative movement, almost a full day later.
Such was the onslaught of derision on the site that the person who originally complained about the slurs, a Kristin N., claims only one comment in the first hundred posted actually criticized the remarks as inappropriate.
After attention from other blogs, the thread was suppressed and placed under review, but before long it was returned to the site intact, and attracted a new series of racial slurs when the original complaint email was posted publicly to the site, with the sender's email address intact.
Free Republic may have decided again to remove the thread in question altogether, as a search of the blog performed Sunday failed to find it.
What has appeared, instead, is a series of new comment threads, such as one entitled "Hate Speech Against Malia Obama On Conservative Blogs Reported By Hate Speech Planting Journalist," in which the "Freepers" fight back.
That thread read in part:
Chris Parry [author of the Vancouver Sun article], it appears, has advocated on his Daily Kos blog any number of egregious offenses, among them: posting hate speech on sites like Free Republic and blaming it on conservatives. Parry posted under the name "hollywoodoz" on Daily Kos, where his signature was "Fool me once, I'll punch you in the fucking head." Parry outed himself as hollywoodoz here, where he discloses the company he helped start. In essence: Parry, the journalist, found his story right where he'd been circling it for a very long time, and reported it as news. Sigh.
Another thread issues a "call to action" to get Parry fired as a Vancouver Sun writer. It features a long list of contact information to major North American media outlets, and lists a litany of alleged journalistic transgressions by the reporter and blogger.
Some of the quotes in Free Republic's original thread, as reported by the Sun:
"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?"
"They make me sick .... The whole family... mammy, pappy, the free loadin' mammy-in-law, the misguided chillin', and especially 'lil cuz... This is not the America I want representin' my peeps."
-- Daniel Tencer
I hear cricket sounds between their ears.
Let me guess -- these are the self-same folks who went apoplectic about the Letterman joke, in which case the Palin daughter in question was either 18, as Letterman stated, or 14, as was alleged. These people are worse than hypocrites; they are monsters.
A real class act, these guys. Calling an eleven year old girl a whore. Talk about family values!
Somehow I don't think this was planted at all. It is typical of the righties that they say hateful, hurtful things first and then get defensive about having said it. Anyone remember McCain calling Chelsea Clinton a dog when she was 13? Or the righties during the Carter years giving Amy a hard time over her glasses? These are the same jerks who complain about Bristol Palin being the butt of jokes when she is 19 and an unwed mother, but will call an 11 year old child a whore.
Righties once again prove to the world that they are childish, classless, mean spirited and petty. No one needs to help them to do that. I find it very telling that the original poster of this hateful BS says that it was okay because only one person wrote that it wasn't acceptable. Well, for the love of God and common sense, LOOK WHERE YOU WERE POSTING! Freeperville is the home of hate and racism on the net. Is it any wonder that you didn't find anyone there who thought that you were tacky, tasteless and crude?
This isn't someone's over 21 year old offspring you are insulting, these are CHILDREN! Just like Chelsea Clinton and Amy Carter were when you were insulting them, too. How about if you raise your intellectual level past that of 6th grade and grow an intellect? Oh, I'm sorry, that is just too much to ask from those who still think Sarah Palin has a brain in her skull, isn't it? Never mind, just go on being an embarrassment to the rest of the country and indeed the world. After all, SOMEONE has to be a bad example for all the parents of the world to show their children. It might as well be YOU. At least then you will serve a valuable role in society.
These people are worse than monsters. Jesus said in John 8L 44-45, that "the devil is a lie and the truth is not in him. He was a murderer from the beginning and will always be a murderer." To me, this defines all those hate-folks out there. They are devils@@@@!!!!!
The Freepers are sad, ineffectual people. I would pity them, were they not cruel to innocents.
These motherfuckers are the arch racists! They are cowards, perverts, existing in a psychological parallel world from the rest of us.
1. Fuck the not so free republic!
2. Fuck the republikkklan party!
3. Fuck Fox fixed propaganda channel!
4. Fuck hannity
5. Fuck rush the perverted racist. (and anybody else that think like the above mentioned)
Guys, guys, GUYS!!!
Do you not see that this is all a game? Left -vs- Right, Freepers -vs- Huffpos. Good -vs- Evil. Palestine -vs- Israel. It goes round and round and never, ever stops.
It never stops.
I was looking at the pictures of the tea bagger protests... so much racism in alot of the placards there. The comments that Rush Limbaugh makes regularly about Obama and the general tone of the rightwing's hate of Obama are beyone the pale, ...is it any wonder why their hypocrisy is so glaring and apparent?
As Lori and Glen pointed out,
... they make as much political smoke as they can about a bad taste joke... so much so that even some liberal bloggers castigate Letterman and the left for their anti Palin jokes... and yet when it really comes down to it, the rightwing doesn't really care.
It's all just a cynical charade and what they're really on about is masking their selfishness and racist hate for partisan gain. And anyone, even an 11 year old girl is a target.
The comments were not right vs left etc. The remarks were sick.
wiseturtle? don't think i've ever seen such an ironically inaccurate username. you're in the same league as the FR wack jobs!
freerepublic used to be a decent place, but they have become a mirror image of the equally insane dailykos cretins such as "ignorantturtle".
they have become so emotionally unhinged that they missed the legitimate criticism that should have been voice, and that is what parent in their right mind lets pdiddy hang with their 11yr old? and what the hell was he even doing there?
Eat sh#t and die Zell. The quote is "Behold the fisherman. He awakes early to great preparations and arrives home late smelling of strong drink..and the truth is not in him." It was first said by a pre Constintinian Monk from Brittain. Maybe St. Patrick. Anyway, one before the Xians started worshipping the 3 Gods of the Romans and nailing heritics, (as in real Christians) to their church doors. Of course, they had to put that in Constantines "Book of Lies", as having been said by Jeebus, your imaginary sky farie.
So many Xians....So few lions! ...Sad
Hmmm... Erik.... Do you mean... "When are we going to get our pitchforks and start literally impaling the asshole banksters that are driving much of the conflict in the world for their own gain?"
Anyway.. more on-topic... what else can we expect from racist hypocrites? Fortunately the Freepers are just like their party... exhibiting diminishing strength, support and influence.
Still, I can't complain about Freepers too much... on the bigger scale of things... the D party is run by a Black (and more articulate) version of Bush... so we're all fucking idiots.
Peace!!
Hey, I see plenty of hate speech on liberal blogs too. Too bad that we can't just discuss the policies of our politicians without getting personal.
Too bad that Partisan gamesmanship trumps everything. It trumps civility, it trumps telling the truth, it trumps good policy, it trumps financial responsibility, and it trumps enforcing the law.
Let us see if Billo will still say the extreme hate comes from the left. He will not touch this story. these people should be made an example of by the internet community, rip off their disguise, let the light of all that knows them see the blackness that is in their soul.
I don't really think that a blog/discussion board should be held accountable for the comments left by its users.
If they should, then perhaps Raw Story should go back to moderating comments.
And Republicans wonder why they lost the Independent vote to a Black man with Hussein for a middle name in the middle of all things Muslim.
Keep it up Nutjobs because the grave you're digging so furiously is your own grave.
Rest In Peace my friends.
I'll bet they claim they are christians as well.
And this is why we can't move forward as a nation.. until these people are removed from the equation, it will never balance. They are hatred, they are vile, they are putrid, they are the embodiment of everything unevolved in our species.
There is on question there is a rift in America. There are sides to take. You are either on the side of caring about [all] humans or you are on the side of the State of Nature, evolutionary kickbacks that would have been discarded by natural processes long ago if it weren't for the precious few geniuses over our history that made it possible for these malformations of humanity to survive.
There will be a cleansing confrontation. They know this. That's mostly why they are such adherent gun nuts. They want to defend themselves from the righteous destruction that will inevitably seek them out.
Be ready.. they are.
Obama should grab that asshole and slap him 'till the snot and blood runs off the walls. Give me the word, Mr. President, I'll do it for you! Gladly
Archer said, " and that is what parent in their right mind lets pdiddy hang with their 11yr old? and what the hell was he even doing there?"
Dude, that ain't pdiddy...open your eyes man...maybe a security in street garb?
Well folks, it is good to see that there are some folks with their hearts in the right places. Although likewise outraged, I know that they love it when you react to their stinking foulness. They are not the real problem, the real problems are your representatives. They don't outrage you? You sure can stand a lot of crap then.
Of course they outrage us Bob, and more than you would believe, but you have to destroy the enemy before you can start cleaning house.
In this case, the enemy is thankfully on a suicide mission, not unlike the US mission in Iraq and Afghanistan.
do they sell glasers anywhere near the RNC headquarters? they wont let me take them on the plane.
Who cares what those retards say.... they fuck collies.
It occurrs to me that someone who accuses someone else of being a whore might have some experience in that area that would make him (or her) an expert. Tell me, Sir, (or Madam), just how much experience do you have with prostitutes? I assume that you are a republican so that means that you have at least some experience in that area. Please, tell me, what do prostitutes charge these days? I could ask Dick Morris, but I'm sure those prices are out of date. I'm quite sure that, as a very ugly person, you would have more up to date pricing schedules.
And, please, don't tell me that you've never had to pay for it. Your words speak volumes.
[...] Source Spread The Word! [...]
What is wrong with all of you people. Quit whining and posturing and reacting like victims. Suddenly, someone says something derogatory about one of the Obamas and, just as suddenly, the HIGHLY offended appear on the scene and immediately clamor for revenge and new strictures on the freedom to voice our thinking. Let it pass. Consider it for what it is, and move on. Its a distraction. We do it to them and they do it to us.
Move on and do something they will hate. Bring change to America (and not necessarily just Obama's compromised vision for America).
We elected the Democrats to clean out the mess left by the Republicans and still keep us afloat and we really expect something for our money. I know we're going to be taxed, or fee'd more; but, if we're going to be paying, we want results, not little back-door agreements with the gentlemen and gentle-ladies of the opposition to further consult upon the issue that is......and on and on. There is power in the majority but only if they will use it.
But the smokescreen of calling Malia a street whore will resound the loudest and drown out the protests of those wanting to reclaim the constitution and life will go on.
So these "tough" adults get off on beating up little girls. Then they wonder why no one can stand them, other than fellow trogladites of course. Beating up children is for thugs (and the Klan). Racism is for losers.
Yet another classic example of perverted group think of brainwashing in trying to sexualize children.
This is inappropriate without question..
However, there's just as much hate and name calling right here on Raw.
Perhaps you self righteous nitwits should pull the plank from your own ass before criticizing others?
Oh for gods sake, talk about a column to stir up the whole Left/Right crap.
Left/right crap is the game. They play. If we don't play we are chumps.
schmice,
"We do it to them and they do it to us."
Dude, you need a new Rx.
Nothing is sacred to Free Republic - except for right-wingers with faux outrage.
I would say they really "stepped in it" this time. You don't ambush the President's minor daughter with brazen insults like this without consequences.
I hope a new and better version of the Fairness Doctrine is in the works, and that it shuts down the lies, and also includes special provisions for situations like this.
They need to be made an example of, so the Rush's, the Hannity's and the Wiener-Savage's of the airwaves will think twice before making this type of unprovoked, lower-than-low attack on the child of a public official.
Jhoffa_
Not sure what you're smoking, but in the years I've been monitoring this site, I have never seen anyone here level an insult this insidious at anyone - especially a child.
Nice accusation, but not buying. Neither is anyone else.
Republicans and the pukes who support them pride themselves in their ownership of this type of language and rhetoric. Narcissists have no guilt of shame in saying or doing such things, and no one or nothing is sacred to them.
Anything to make their "point" - whatever the hell that is.
Do you think BillO will spend as much time attacking Freerepublic.com as he does Daily Kos for its supposed "hate speech"?
Nahh.....
So what? Who is such the whiner that they can not get over someone calling someone else a whore. Is she a whore? If its not true then get over it. People say crap all the time but by goodness I would defend their right to say what they think.
Freedom of speech is the right to say such things and when you trample on someones rights you trample on everyone's.
I found it more disturbing that a self proclaimed and supposedly "christian" presidential family would have and allow their daughter to wear the occult symbol,, The Cross of Nero - Or Peace sign as if they are unaware, as most Americans seem to be of the real meaning of this sign. Of course the elites always find it amusing to flash their occultism in the face of the brain dead and deceived population.
http://www.exposingsatanism.org/signsymbols.htm
http://www.crossroad.to/Books/symbols1.html
Of course many of the people believe as they are told and that the "peace" sign is a symbol for nuclear disarmament. Maybe the Obamas actually believe that.
I just find it difficult to believe a man who ran on the platform of getting us out of all these wars but once elected,, EXPANDS on them, all the while saying peace.
I think the guy who SUPPOSEDLY called this girl a whore, would have been smarter if he had instead stated the obvious. That she is dressed pretty damned trashy and instead of calling her a whore directly said she was dressed like one.
This story, and these posts, from "both" sides of this issue show just how delicate the stability of this nation currently is.. Both sides of this event are wrong. The anti-obamas for picking on an 11 year old child in such a salacious manner, and their critics who would silence their right to make fools of themselves in a public format..
Shouldn't we the audience decide for ourselves who is an idiot and who isn't? How are we to find out unless we hear what they say? Mark Twain said it best: "Far better to remain silent and thought of as a fool, than to opens ones mouth and remove all doubt." Those who would silence these people would have us casting about in doubt, unable to see one part of our enemy for who they are, causing more people to take their side, because they are unaware of who they really are. If you so support the freepers, then by all means, force them to moderate their boards to your standard, but know that because you stifled their true message, reasonable people who would have abandoned them will continue to be held in their ranks. Freedom is not the right to hear only what you want to hear, it is the right to say what you want to say, and then it is LIBERTY that allows the audience to decide weather they agree or disagree with that message, and to what degree.
The overriding social theme and concern here should not be the knee-jerk reaction we watchers of jerry springer have been ingrained with, but the left/right dust-up the recent headlines have been specifically engineered to generate. About one out of six Americans are unemployed, that number rockets to one out of 5 if you include the underemployed. Prison and school systems are collapsing, states are bankrupt, tent cities are growing and expanding, crime is rising.. And all you can think to do is distract yourselves by throwing mental poo at each other?!?!??!?!! If you can't leave this country I hope you have a farm at least 4 days walking distance from any population centers, and the ability to sustain water and other necessities for years at a time.. And then the ability to repel attackers if they come marauding into your area... I now have no doubt this is the track you fools will take, y'all's reaction to things of late have made such an outcome unavoidable. The wages of willful ignorance and hubris has always been thus... and always will.
I noticed the Fox Nation editors actually put an editorial exclamation point on their top story a few days ago by putting the word "Warning" on the lede link to Sally Quinn's (Washington Post) critical piece on Palin, her children and politics and the percieved attacks on her children. Besides the strange literary warning label the editorial staff added to Quinn's link, they concurrently served up the hypocritical red meat link to the exact same photo with Malia in the kid T-shirt.
In support of the Canadian's observations on the vitrol and the ugliness he found.....below are the actual "cream of the crop" vitrol from the Naiton about Malia, same photo, July 8 & July 9. At the time, it was the Most Commented Story. There were a rare few who tried to ask other commenters to give the kids a break, but considering the Fox website statement of purpose, I think the moderators are non exsitant or complicit.
I think we all could learn to think a few seconds before we submit the "submit comment" button, but this stuff is going over the top. It seems each side throws mud, followed by the other side....I don't know how it stops but I don't think it right that Fox isn't called out on the children red meat they serve while attacking Quinn etc.
round and round it goes.
- Fox Statement of Purpose -

*******LEDE link name: Malia Obama brings "Peace" to the G8 ***********
you are right -- she's just a really misguided brownish colored kid .....
send her out on the streets
Is she stupid or what?
shes a clueless kid...get a life malia
It's sad to see that the many of the Young are being indoctrinated with Satan's Agenda
SHE SHOULD BE WEARING THE HAMMER AND SICKLE!
Barack, now that you have put you daughter onto the political scene is she going to be fair game for the comics? Like showing her how to use a teleprompter,come on that's funny
what was on the back of her shirt a picture of rev wrong and bill ayers laughing there buts off
How could her mom and dad cheapen her this way?
GAG ME
My mother would not have tolerated such sloppy attire to an important event, especially knowing the cameras are on her.
T should have read: "I'm With Stupid"
I heard she has 4 T-shirts similar to that one. One with Hugo Chavez, one with Daniel Ortega, one with Zeyala and one with her Dad's picture. Birds of a feather.
Malia will soon be sporting the Che Guevera-Fidel Castro "Little Miss" line for Marxist Youths
It's not the symbol that is controversial, it is that fact that she is urging her father to disarm America leaving us defenceless in a world full of dangerous third world aggresssors
Whatever her age if her parents didn't approve of the shirt she wouldn't have worn it - Just another kid growing up without proper instruction
look at mama's shirt. not any better. they should have stayed in U.S. and saved us a lot of money
Can hear the blame game now. "My daddy made me do it."
the kids are acorn rentals
Great!! Big Ears' daughter is wearing a T-shirt with the footprint of an American chicken on
and the song remains the same..... no one on either side will ever have the guts to admit the mess they made or take one bit of responsibility. Even though i think the freepers are far more savage, ignorant, and dangerous..... the country will never be allowed to rest while this goes on. My fear is, from this point on.... it will never stop.
Indpnt in Co
You are psychotic.
They need to ask themselves why is she considered a "whore" in their eyes and why are they saying it. She's an 11 year old girl and these people are saying such vitriol that it will backfire on them. Because who in their right mind would say that about a 11 year old girl. The type of people that want to attack Obama by going through other people. These people need to be outed for what and who they are.
At least that is what I heard, I've heard they all wear assless pants.
You should see the garbage that NIGGERMANIA left for Michelle Obama.
Trust me these users go to Free Republic too.
Here's the link to the offensive post
http://www.niggermania.net/forum/niggermania-forum-news/28561-white-house-sends-niggermania-legal-warning-letter.html
Dave, yeah maybe a little. I try though. I was the type who used to not vote, not care and looked the other when the least of society got dumped on. I may not write as well as most admittedly, but now try to participate even with what little I've got to offer on some of these culural differences that tend to turn ugly at times.
Cheers!
Eh, they're just words, what's the worst that could happen, she thinks because her daddy is president that mean people will say mean things about her, and how mean it is ? I doubt she'll be mentally scarred by it or probably even made aware of it, she certainly won't end up missing limbs or family members over it like victims of the endless war, so the faux outrage is a bit rich for me.
Partisan 'outrage' is always good for a laugh though, I'm sure they're all laughing about it as well.
I think the coming rationalizations for bailing on democracy in Honduras will be more interesting than this shit.
Left or right, it doesn't matter. The dickheads or dickhead who wrote this shit needs to go down for talking that kind of shit about any child.
I think it's the Peace sign that they can't handle.
When children are victims, predators learn lessons.
Oh my fucking gawd, Daniel. What the fuck happened to Free Speech?
RS has definitely jumped the shark. It's just bullshit story after bullshit story recently.
Nobody gives a shit what some tards on the free republic said except other tards.
Obama's daughters might not be whores now, but they might be when they grow up, you never know. I know if they do become whores, I won't fucking care. Chelsea looks like kind of a fucking whore now though, Reagans' daughter posed nude for playboy, she's a total whore.
"Sweeta tucked her hands between her thighs and began to rock as she told her story. The details emerged in a monotone, her face expressionless. Last winter she had just stepped out of her house in Afghanistan's northern province of Jowzjan to fetch water from the well when a neighbor approached her. He told her that her father was ill and had been taken to the hospital. He offered her a ride. When she refused, he threw her into his car, his hand over her mouth so no one would hear her scream. He took her to a room in the nearby army garrison. "And then he took off his pants," she says. "He raped me." Sweeta is only 11 years old." -

End Obama's war.
I'm not at all surprised when stuff like this happens, but it's also getting kind of old when the 'news' is just stories about what other 'news/blogs/forums' are doing. Did anything happen in the last couple of days that actually effects us as a nation? Chelsea was (to my knowledge) left alone by the commentators of the nation while she was growing up, where's that civility today?
Where's freddy kruger ?

Wingnuts support a President with unlimited powers, and a CIA that can spy on, and 'disappear' domestic terrorists.
Let's start using all this nice fascist machinery Cheney left us: start rounding up and interrogating these traitors, see where the guns and bombs are stashed, see who is planning to assassinate Obama.
You know they are.
Jhoffa_ the NAZI PIG probably posted many of those slurs! He's a Freeper regular and look what he recently posted here at RS on Michelle:
"Oh come on.. She's hideous. Let's just be honest.
So were Nancy and Laura "bird face" Bush.
The best looking first lady we've had in a while was a younger Hillary.
Michelle's face could curdle milk. If Obama was checking out Sarkozy's ass, who could blame him with that monstrosity to go home to."
Here, the gay-bashing Jhoffa justifies Obama looking at Sarkozy's ass because Jhoffa_ the "anti-abortionist" NAZI hates the lovely African face Michelle was born with.
Jhoffa_ is the SCUMMIEST HYPOCRITE TROLL to slither in here. And i have the screen shots of his bigotry.
The plank is in Jhoffa_'s eyes with his hateful attacks on Michelle's looks and gays.
Doesn't surprise me a bit - I had an account there and posted three times in as many months, occasionally noting verifiable (Well, Glaring) factual inaccuracies.
The account was 'reviewed' and disabled as a 'troll'. No bad language, no arguments, nothing except pointing out some obvious inaccuracies (Okay, yeah, shooting fish in a barrel, but I wanted to see if it was really 'that bad'. I was dumb enough to listen to Limbaugh for 30 days too 'just to see'. You'd think I would learn.).
Meanwhile racist comments and threats to liberals were standard fare.
Stay Classy Free Republic.
Full of shit archer dude..... You saying free republic used to be decent place is like saying the Nazis were once some nice people.
Is there a single individual in this world that any of you people can call your friend? Given the reading of your posts, it's doubtful that most of you have ever known one.
Free Republic is an online Klan meeting. Ignore them. They are irrelevant.
Well hello to you too, Mary..
Still wish you could trade your parents for a gay couple?
I'm sure they're very proud.
Cut the Free Republic commenters some slack. You'd be bitter and unbearable, too, if you spent every waking minute of your life trying to suppress your latent homosexuality.
Isn’t this similar to what the dinosaurs went through right before they became history - a lot of noise and pointless thrashing around and then “gone but not forgotten?” The GOP-as-we-know-it is in a death spiral and the lunatic fringe are just moving things along quicker so the rest of us don’t have to watch the embarrassing “death throes” for too long.
It’s an annoying but necessary stage of evolution. We just took a giant leap forward, there’s bound to be some ugly fallout from the less-evolved who see they’re heading toward extinction. God bless ‘em but they’re stupid and they can’t keep up.
Family values, tell me again, who had A baby out of wedlock? what governor and senator, yelled for former pres. bill clinton to resign when they are exposed doing the same things and worst?( Let him with out sin cast the first stone).
Erik's right-

Guys, guys, GUYS!!!
Do you not see that this is all a game? Left -vs- Right, Freepers -vs- Huffpos. Good -vs- Evil. Palestine -vs- Israel. It goes round and round and never, ever stops.
It never stops.
Smartest person on here. Hats off to you Erik.
This whole thing is ridiculous. First, Malia is not dressed "trashy." She is dressed like a normal 11 year old girl. Second, wearing a t-shirt with the peace sign on it means that she is a normal, fashion conscious, 11 year old girl. I suggest that everyone who has complained about the shirt go out to their local mall. The peace sign is ALL the rage right now. Jewelry, clothing, handbags, shoes . . . it's on EVERYTHING.
What a disgrace the Free Republic blog is! Bet they go to church every Sunday and call themselves Christians! When I hear the word "conservative", I really hear the words ignorant, intolerant, unAmerican!
This is the dumbest story ever. How can they be held responsible for random comments on their website? Maybe they give a shit about free speech and don't censor stuff even if it's highly idiotic and really offensive. I bet there will be someone on here calling Obama's daughter a whore, but that doesn't mean that rawstory supports that belief simply because they don't delete it as a fucking comment.
Yes, the comments were appropriate.
But they were USER COMMENTS, and were not written by the author of the piece.
Wasn't there a piece where Bill O'Reilly got blasted for quoting a user comment and crediting it to the authors of the blog? Same deal here. This is just nit-picking.
Seriously, I'm all for change, and I'm all for ending this type of bigotry. But partisan nit-picking and mud-slinging is not going to do anything to improve this world. Work on exposing the racism and bigotry inherent in the laws and regulations which our policy makers (on both sides of the aisle) craft. Work on posting constructive comments and blog pieces which exemplify the equity, amnesty, and other ideals you hold dear.
Please, do not fling mindless insults back at the uninformed and closed-minded masses who post this kind of destructive sentiment on the internet. This only justifies their actions.
And i meant inappropriate up there. ^ my bad.
"Moderators of the blog left the comments - and commenters - in place until a complaint was lodged by a writer doing research on the conservative movement, almost a full day later.
Such was the onslaught of derision on the site that the person who originally complained about the slurs, a Kristin N., claims only one comment in the first hundred posted actually criticized the remarks as inappropriate.
After attention from other blogs, the thread was suppressed and placed under review, but before long it was returned to the site intact, and attracted a new series of racial slurs when the original complaint email was posted publicly to the site, with the sender's email address intact."
Why is Rawstory even getting involved in this pissing contest? We just had a commenter on here the other day dropping n-bombs all over the place and all kinds of racist crap and no commenters called it out because we just ignored them. I have issues with freepers but I am not going to start criticizing blogs because of something a commenter says. I don't think a lot of hate speech should be suppressed on comment boards because then the slippery slope becomes evident. These are stories mainly written for people who don't know how internet blogs work. It is this pettiness that really makes me want to find a different site that doesn't waste time on this nonsense.
It's just jerks who replied in the comments section just like this one. Damn, get a grip on what's is real news, Raw Story. Now, if only the NYT will do a write up on this comment section.
I know. This is like a report on what "someone" wrote on the bathroom wall. Beyond fucking stupid. But hey if you want to make this site all feminazi politically correct like the whiners at dailykos be my guest...
Freedom of speech no longer applies? I remember in school we were taught that our ancestors fought and died so that we would have certain freedoms. I don't believe that a comment on a website should be taken down because someone doesn't like it. That is ridiculous, and the comment should remain up otherwise we have thrown away so much that there isn't anything left fighting over.
This just demonstrates how morally bankrupt freeper conservatives are. They are a shining example of just how clueless and vile people can be.
natty,
I don't think they want to make us pc, just kneejerk unthinking partisans. The headline writer needs to cut the bullshit, I find myself trying to figure out the esoteric meaning of the headlines more often than not. This is a good site that usually has a lot of good stories, but they are really pushing the limits.
To Posters on Raw Story:
Folks, I do not know the Free Republic site but as an historian I am familiar with the lines of thought--emoting is probably a more accurate term--expressed there as reported in the Canadian newspaper. For a comparison, see the well documented anti-Semitism expressed in popular culture, political propaganda, etc., in central Europe, 1890-1930s. To send little Jewish girls to the gas chambers one had to demonize them, literally transform them into lice, first.
While this raw and to me pathological spewing is offensive, it should not surprise the people who read the news on Raw Story or pay attention to the particular trajectory of the United States of America through history.
This racism, along with all the virtues that the USA can rightly claim, is a part of our collective heritage. I rushed through all the posts already on this site but I did take note of the message from "Christian" who noted that the hateful messages posted on FR were signs of the "...blackness that is in their soul." Notice how the nuances of the American language boomerangs us back to the notion of 'blackness' as evil, unclean, bad, while criticizing people who condemn...blackness!! (It is not just English, either. See "Ya tengo negro" "we have the black" in Spanish; meaning ill fortune.)
The paradox of America is that chiefly white Americans (with a lot of help from Latinos, Asian-Americans, Native Americans, and African-Americans) elected Barack Obama President, making Michelle Obama First Lady. Yet, imbedded in our culture and our heritage (I am tempted to say in our unconscious) is this almost unspeakable hatred. It is going to take more than one black President to help us untangle our complex heritage. (See generally the scholarly work of historians David Brion Davis, Winthrop Jordan, and George F. Frederickson on racial thought and feeling in America.)
The seminal early American psychiatrist Harry Stack Sullivan once noted that the foundational evidence of mental health in a human being was the ability to look at a newborn baby and hope for it a good life. I would stretch this axiom to include children of all ages (and races.) Let's not fool ourselves that ideology equals racism or non-racism. Ideology exists at a conscious level; racism has for the most part retreated to an unconscious level amongst Americans. People who can look at a photo of an eleven year-old girl and see evil; worse, hope for the worst for her, are neither the liberals or leftists we may admire nor the conservatives or moderates we may respect. Remember the late conservative Republican Jack Kemp noted that he had showered with more black men than most Republican politicos had shaken hands with.
What we feel, I think, is shame. Shame that socialist leaders in Wisconsin at the beginning of the 20th century viewed Asian workers as not workers but units of labor and enemies of the true working class (i.e. just as apartheid South Africa distinguished between white and black workers.) That an old saying in Spanish says that the Texas Rangers all have Mexican blood, they have it on their boots. That beyond the hateful words expressed towards the Obama family, there is a trail of unmarked graves of black people, leading from the plantation, to the turpentine camps, to the prison yards, to Duluth, to New England, to California. Shame that even John Henry was a convict laborer and was buried in a prison yard in Richmond, Virginia in an unmarked grave (see Scott Nelson's new book.)
I for one thank Free Republic for allowing this venting. It is useful because it reminds all of us who were are in toto as a nation and a people. It is time again to reread William Faulkner. He reminds us of the remarkably crooked timber from which our present moment--literally our lives and those of our loved ones--is constructed.
in solidarity and hopefully without too many illusions,
H. Forsythe
Gee let's see freepers have always been America hating scum and they still are. What a shocker. The sooner every one of those vermin are dead or deported back to Eastern Europe the better.
Spare me the outrage. Look at some of the comments left on this site during the Bush years. Liberals are human trash. If I could, I would sue every single one of you motherfucking faggots.
An important development from which we shouldn't be distracted.

No one whores after money more than the right wing. No one. If the bull on Wall Street were a golden calf, we'd really be facing the real truth about our economy as created and destroyed by Bush et al. The fact that Obama has managed to stop a total implosion of the American economy as designed by Bush et al gives the freepers and their hoodwinked pals even more anger. Bush wanted the total destruction scenario. The fact that it hasn't happened after all is even more reason for their collective anger. Too bad. So sad.
The GOP base has been showing their true colors. That's good. These people are simply vicious, racist haters, and the they're giving the voters a needed education. 2012 is right around the corner, and the haters are going to be supporting Sarah Palin or Newt Gingrich. Vote accordingly.
These are the rabid responders stoked by the republican attack machine. They believe they'll be rewarded for their nasty, vile attacks and are, in fact, quite proud of their allegance. Get a life losers! The true Republicans of the past must be rolling over in their graves with this kind of desperate slimball crap.
Why is it that decency and respect for each other goes out the window because of which political party you belong to? I don't like Palin's politics but I can't stand the treatment she has been given the last year and the names she has been called or the way her children have been treated, with the Letterman joke being one in particular. Most dems thought it to be funny, and derided Palin for getting upset over it with no thoughts to the 14yr. old. Her young baby had his face photoshoped out and replaced by an Alaskan dem blogger with a radio host face and all dems get upset at Palin once again for reacting. Yet now someone from the opposite side has commented on calling Malia a name and everyone gets outraged with more namecalling.
Let me make it clear from my point - neither personal hits against Plain or her children or hits against the Obama children are acceptable in any fashion. But after reading all the comments at several democratic blogging sites, the outrage seems funny after what has been said about Palin's children.
This lunacy about personally attacking people in politics and their children has to stop. Where will it ever end? And why has the media stooped so low that this is now major news?
Personally, I find some of these comments heartbreaking. I can't begin to imagine what it must be like to go through life so full of fear and hate - to believe that a vaccination program is some diabolical conspiracy.
Even your elected officials were too stupid to see the truth about
"the criminally insane behind-the-scenes Zeozealots who own and run the U.S./Israeli alliance from Hell? We know they're responsible for 9-11"
You should have shared your theory with Bush and Cheney, there they were barking up the wrong tree, going after Al Qaeda. Wow! Major fail . . .
If I were you, I'd seriously think about moving OUT of this clueless country and taking a few of your closest "conspiracy plot" screwball friends with you. The rest of us clueless numskulls will mind the shop while you're gone. Good luck in Bratislava . . .
I agree, the Free Republic is like an online Klan meeting. But they are also an important part of the Republican base. So you can't just ignore them... they might actually get someone sympathetic with their views into office.
PC could not agree more. Seems like something happened post election. I can't begin to tell you all the important news I have read this morning that is not on this site. Like human rights violations in Sri Lanka. UK cutting off arms to Isreal< embargo. Israel high court condemns settlers for not moving 4 years after they were ordered to. Border control cameras not being used or watched BUT WE SURE PAID FOR THEM!, and on and on.... gay news and trivial shit are getting all too common on here. Infotainement I suppose.....
If the internet had a trailer park, free republic is it. The lowest possible form of the right wing brain. So simplistic and ignorant that Nat. Geo considered giving them a some time on their bottom feeders segment of a nature special, but a school of cat fish rose up and protested stating they didn’t want to be portrayed next to scum sucking scavengers.
The very name is a joke, there is no freedom at free republic at least as far as the free speech part of freedom. If your view even remotely dissents from the ditto head mentality you are banished.
My favorite was a ‘freeper call to action’ when they voted certain left wing videos as ‘distasteful’ so they could get youtube to ban them. It worked.
Want to see what that jerk waving a confederate flag at a tea party thinks, read free republic.
Want to see inside the mind of someone who hates America’s diversity and freedoms but wears a flag shirt to a NASCAR race claiming to be a ‘real American’, go to freeperville. This is the ‘real America’ Sarah Palin was referring to and frankly it is a sad, sad place.
Serpens-
Go straight to fucking hell you simple-minded pile of dog shit.
And take your mentally-ill neo-con brethren with you.
If it were legal, I'd like to see every one of your throats cut. Unfortunately, you have the same rights to breathe the air I do. Fascist punk.

Good thing she was Obamas daughter or he may have been checking out her rear as she walked past!!!
These people are so upstanding and honest, how can anyone doubt them, NOT!!

You better watch the video before you make rude comments, so very wrong, you just made a fool of yourseld, watch the video fool!!!
Wow but we were unpatriotic to talk ill of our drunk former Prez and his drunk twins? Hummmmmm.
This is the level of public discourse created and maintained these days by both sides of the political spectrum in this country. Up through even as recently as the Clinton administration, it was considered unseemly to go after preseidents' children -- they were considered off-limits. During the Bush 43 adnministration, direct bashing of presidential children came into vogue. Look to the ones who set that standard and blame them. They have set the standard for today and the future.
[...] Freepers refuse to apologize for calling Malia Obama ‘a typical street whore’ [...]
Floyd,
Your memory doesn't go back far enough. Look at the Chelsea Clinton-bashing (even from John McCain, a U.S. Senator), and then Amy Carter before that (although it was more toned down). Neither of those presidential children did anything to warrant the attacks.
Bush's "children" (grown adults) placed themselves in the spotlight with party-animal-like behavior. Not that I thought it was a story nevertheless, I was thoroughly bored with it actually, but they were hardly children.
At this point, I would say John McCain had a hand in setting the standard.
Pro tip: It's the internet. People say horrible things on the internet. Sure it's bad, and culturally and socially unacceptable, but that's why the internet is horrible.
Only a fool would take anything posted here as fact.
Poor Malia, what did she do to warrant this?
So, are these the same folks who oppose abortion just so they can do this to your child when they get older? Our neighbor's daughter attempted suicide because a group of kids at school launched a campaign to call her a whore.
Is that the intent of these sick minded idiots?
comments on here are a joke! Writing about how much "nicer" liberals are while crying for violence against the posters of the remarks. Then you show your true colors by bashing Christians. What a joke!

Are you blind? Or just so deep in Obama worship that you refuse to believe that the man is capable of appreciating a nice looking woman? I watched the video!!

Good thing she was Obamas daughter or he may have been checking out her rear as she walked past!!!
*********************************
Apparently, you missed the video. Mr. Obama didn't even see the young lady in red. He was looking down at the step as he very courteously assisted another young lady down the steep steps. Even Fox News Sunday, Fox News Watch and Greta noted that fact. Only old Sean, purveyor of lies, continues to spew the nonsense that Obama was "checking out" the rear of the young lady in red. Grow up.
Right wing vitriol is so delicious when they are powerless. Let them steep in their teabag fantasies. We're moving on.
You have to admit though, for little kids they are pretty fucking ugly.
"Freepers refuse to apologize for calling Malia Obama 'a typical street whore'"
Of course they do. Just like they refuse to apologize for the little joke about Chelsea Clintion back in the day.
Best thing to do is ignore them, but keep an eye on 'em.
http://www.examiner.com/x-16503-LA-County-Foreign-Policy-Examiner~y2009m7d9-Violence-Against-Afghan-Women-Hinders-Development
'"When a victim of rape goes to the police for justice, the police rape her again and say 'she is a whore' but they never say `whore' to a rapist," said Sima Samar, chair of the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission (AIHRC).' - Sounds vaguely familiar.
A child does not deserve such attacks. Yet, under free speech, people (and websites) can say and publish whatever they want, as long as it remains lawful. If you don't want to read someone's opinion, no matter how misguided and ignorant it is, then DON'T READ IT. No one's forcing you to read TMZ's or Perez Hilton's websites either; they're just as chock-full of opinion and spin as Free Republic.
These crucifix-fondling yayhoos think that all they need to do is believe in Jesus, and that gives them a free pass to take out retribution for God giving them tiny penises on anyone who hasn't likewise succumbed to the invasion-of-the-body-snatcher-like intellectual fog in which they survive.
So it doesn't matter how many innocent Muslim women, children, elderly, or infirm they slaughter indiscriminantly, how many poor people die from lack of health care, how many freeze to death each winter under bridges, how much they cheat on their taxes, who they fuck around with on the side, how many cops they kill because Glenn Beck told them Obama was coming after their weapons, or how prominently they put their gutter bigotry on display like some big fat-ass white-hooded cross-burning retard whose own miserable failed life is everybody else's fault but his own... they figure they're going to heaven no matter what they do.
Unless one was infused with the arrogance that the great big invisible sky daddy loves them no matter what, how could a human being act the way they do?
You'd think they'd recognize this kind of unconditional regard from their sky daddy would be an example of the "liberal parenting" that's so prevalent today. You'd think they'd be rooting for sky daddy to give 'em one big whallop with the celestial belt, to make an example of them publicly for being such assholes -- but no, they've got John 3:16 tattooed on their foreheads and therefore all means justify the end, namely, a Christo-fascist totalitarian state obediently awaiting the Rapture.
Who cares what these imbeciles think? I'm just happy they're exposing their true nature for everyone to see. Keep it up, zipperheads!
The irony of this commenatary coming from supposed "Family Values" advocates and "Christians," shows their TRUE worth. It goes to show you the only family values they'd take is in a "family values" meal. And their "Christianity' shows the true Charlitanism it really is. Hate with a capital 'H'. H also stands for "Hypocrite".
"Yet, under free speech, people (and websites) can say and publish whatever they want, as long as it remains lawful."
Whatever THEY WANT. Not whatever YOU want. It is arguable that THEIR right to freedom of speech empowers them to censor contradictory opinion when they're paying to run that web site. So, by definition, these people are a community represented by these remarks. That's the point. That tells us their true nature.
And as long as it remains lawful. When Glenn Beck told Richard Poplawski that Obama was coming after his guns so he shot three police officers to death, is that lawful speech? If that's lawful speech, what possibly wouldn't be lawful speech? Speech that informs people of a potentially dangerous product? How about speech that offends the advertisers, or even worse, offends the clan of extremist yayhoos who the advertsiers fear will boycott if that speech isn't suppressed? Of these, which speech would you think would be censored first?
The Constitution protects freedom of speech from GOVERNMENT suppression. That's all. Don't believe me? Go exercise your imagined Constitutional right to call your boss an asshole, and write back and tell us what happens. Or, better yet, get over to Free Republic and try to post something with a liberal slant, and see how far you get.
Here at our happy home, the ignorant, the anti-intellectual, the uninformed, the illogical, the Bible brandishers, the mommy's boys, the restroom stalkers --- the whole damn right wing boob squad is free to express their psychoses.
Racists. This is what happened to the Republican party.
Beneath the thin veneer of "conservative" and "family values" you find unapologetic hate and racism.
There needs to be a centrist party so we can let all the nut jobs on the left and right finish destroying the Democratic and Republican parties, while the rest of us focus on a better tomorrow.
Freepers are the WHORES OF BILLIONAIRES who use right-wingers
to vote for the politicians who will profit the billionaires of the REPUBLICAN NANNY STATE FOR THE RICH and screw the their right-wing supporters!
Are Freepers TOO STUPID to understand that this is what's been going on?
Shameful. Lets start there. i read a few of the posts above and noticed the names of other children they attacked. Lets just clear it up. The public didn't attack Bristol Palin. They attacked her nutjob mother. She was caught up in the fray and even after she'd gone through her pregnancy, her ignorant mother was still pushing ABSTINENCE. The reason people jumped on it was because abstinence wasn't working out for them. But, to attack an 11 yr old girl.. there is no sewage hole deep enough for these people. I had the pleasure of meeting them on the trail. They were very well mannered children and answered with 'yes m'am/sir or no m'am/sir. You don't find that very often these days in city children. Hell!! you don't find it in children period. But, let them talk. History will show them all. While they are attacking children of dems, just remember, the republican party and their spawn look like the who's who on the latest edition of "To Catch a Predator". Just wait until someone says something negative like this about one of theirs. All hell will break loose and I will be the first blowing this board up reminding them of their earlier transgressions.
What big damn men & women. Attacking a child. Notice they said it on the net and not in reallife because judging from every post on here, I can count how many of you would actulally punch one of them in the mouth for flipping like that. And that includes ME.
I don't know which would be worse: having a Freeper live next door, or one as a brother-in-law.
i just hope no reporters ever read the raw story comments.
It cracks me up. It doesn't matter if I am reading a liberal or a conservative blog. No matter what the issue each side accusing the other side of doing the very same thing they've done themselves. Bunch of hypocrites, and these comments prove it.
Wake up people. Every single problem we face today is a result of the actions of the Democrats AND Republicans. If you continue to vote for either party you are to blame. Stop voting for the people who caused the problem expecting them to fix it. They don't care about what you or I think but you just keep voting them in making the problem worse.
Comments of this nature come from nothing BUT trailer trash, uneducated scums of the earth.
Eat your hearts out Barack Obama IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, his wife IS THE FIRST LADY, and his daughters would NEVER ASSOCIATE with trash like you. And by the way it takes a whore to know a whore. Attacking an 11 year old simply shows the depth of your educational and moral bankruptcy and racial intolerance. What a slime bag. Speaks volumes about your character, perhaps a welfare recipient. You Rethugs are out of control, but again this quotation speaks to the likes of your kind, "those whom the GODS wish to destroy, they first make mad". I know that such readings are above your education level, but think about it and if you can, analyse and parse the quotation if you have the faintest clue about grammar
Freepers are such Trigs.....
In a altered time and place these people would be wearing a hood and carrying a noose. They are hate filled bigots: what else can explain so-called human beings from saying what the say? The world is passing them by and they can do little but bare their fangs and drool. They are the dregs, the scum of the universe. How can they continue to breath, filled as they are with the pus of bigotry.
How sad. The depths these people will sink is appalling. Look, say what you will about the adults, but leave an 11 year-old girl out of it.
Remember - these people are representative of the GOP. In my mind, this is just evidence that party won't be digging itself out from beneath the pond scum anytime soon.
Jhoffa_ wants Rawsters to slobber over his self-touted "brilliance and balance" -- he thinks because he defended Malia, but trashed her mother's inherited features that he's off the hook for being a world class bigot. He also bragged on another thread about firing (ILLEGALLY!) non-stereotypical gender people (suspected gays) for their "offensive" congenital traits. He whines about "racist liberals" BECAUSE THEY WON'T COPY HIS KKK TANTRUMS, then accuses liberals of having logs in their eyes. I hope ex-employees sue him off the planet, hound him about his adultery, and that his current wife leaves him for another woman.
Folks,
I have an idea! Since the FreeRepublic has attacked a private citizen and slandered her good name...SUE THE BASTARDS, Malia and make them pay dearly and also make them issue a publis apology!
It is people who keep this in the news for the sensationalism of the headline that offend me most.
Too bad, what comes around goes around. All of the scorn heaped on the Bush twins and Palins kids means nothing huh leftards. I would not advise anyone on the right to be cowed be the stupid RAAACISSS charges and the like from the communist left.
I guess the Obamas didn't do enough outreach in the racist White Community. Perhaps if he is elected again Barack can invite them to speak at his Inauguration.
It always surprises me, although by now it shouldn't, that the people on the right -- the people who call themselves good Christians -- are usually the ones spouting hate. And in this case, they attack an 11-year-old child, which is just beyond low.
The FreeRepublic site makes me sick; they ought to just slap a white hoods over their heads and be done with it.
some nut on a message board did it, and the moderators removed it. i fail to see how this is news.

So the uber Euronationals at the Free Republic don't like Obama's daughters? Not surprising since this same demographic is nothing more than Nazi sympathizers. Look, we've had a problem with these Euronationals for the last 500 years. It's time to deport these inbreds back to Europe where they can hate, inbreed and drug all they want.

it's interesting how there are people who say that the comments re: malia obama are equivalent to the comments re: the bush twins, and also to the comments re: the palin girls.
