What Really Terrifies Me About Montana’s Right Wing Bloggers

in '08 Election, Blogs

There are a lot of things that terrify me about them, but I just realized something today that might be the worst of all. I think they actually believe that arguments like the Republican stunt in Washington is lowering gas prices or that the Democrats in Congress have caused gas prices to increase by not allowing drilling offshore in the last two years are true.

I’m not even really trying to be an ass, here. I’m just amazed that there are people who so unquestioningly swallow this political tripe that’s purely designed to score political points in our sound bite culture. They accept it so unquestioningly that they repeat it, jeopardizing the credibility of their online pseudonyms.

Wouldn’t it be great if the right wing blogs did more than parrot Rush Limbaugh’s version of truth?

On another note, this is my favorite post from the Republican side of the Montana’s ‘sphere this week. Presented as “Support from Around Missoula” for the claim that Congress’s recess is causing the energy crisis, offer five videos of average citizens.

Just a thought, guys…you might be a bit more credible if four of them weren’t standing in front of the GOP booth at the fair, and the fifth didn’t indicate she was a friend of the poster, the President of the UM College Republicans.

Keep the stunts up. You guys are AWESOME at them.

I don’t really like livejournal or xanga. I already have both of those. I was going to try deadjournal because I read on here that it was really good, but I don’t want to have to pay for it and you have to have an invite code to get in free. Does anybody have an invite code they could give me, or a suggestion on another free blogging website I could try? Any information would be helpful..

With havin thus much content do us ever run into any kind of issues of plagorism or perhaps copyright infringement? My site has a great deal of completely unique content I’ve either authored myself or alternatively outsourced but yet it looks like a great deal of it is very popping it up all over the internet without my agreement. Do anyone recognize any kind of methods in order to enable stop content from being ripped off? I’d absolutely appreciate it.
