Lefty Wackos

I am guessing that tomorrow Michelle Malkin will have something to say about this story regarding the Washington Post blog.

The Washington Post shut down one of its blogs Thursday after the newspaper's ombudsman raised the ire of readers by writing that lobbyist Jack Abramoff gave money to the Democrats as well as to Republicans.
..........
In her Sunday column, ombudsman Deborah Howell wrote that Abramoff "had made substantial campaign contributions to both major parties," prompting a wave of nasty reader postings on post.blog.

There were so many personal attacks that the newspaper's staff could not "keep the board clean, there was some pretty filthy stuff," and so the Post shut down comments on the blog, or Web log, said Jim Brady, executive editor of washingtonpost.com.


Actually, it's not clear if the posts were from left or right so my title may be out there....but I have a pretty good guess it's left. Michelle has had to put up with some of the most outrageous insults and once in a while shares them with her audience. Of course I can't quickly locate such a post - however, here's a link to her post in regards to her book.
