New conservative blogs come online in Montana
Tuesday, September 25th, 2007Most of us think of Montana as a hardy frontier state where the wild buffalo roam, surely filled with many more conservative than liberal blogs.
Not so, but that might be changing, with the addition of Montana Pundit, The Scoop, The Hardliner, Missoulapolis, and Conservative Cowgirls to a stable that already included, among others, the Montana Misanthrope, The Hammond Report, Dave Budge, Electric City Weblog and Montana Headlines.
I wouldn’t pretend to be authoritative on this, but it seems like a larger number of Montana’s GOP/conservative bloggers are anonymous than in other states.
That might be because there’s a high incidence of rattlesnake-mean lefty bloggers in Montana.
One lefty blogger in Montana recently accused the Montana GOP/conservative blogs of:
…showing a much greater tendency to belittle and revile based on ideas that he finds personally demeaning, and not so much on the merit of the idea.
In two posts last month, the same lefty blogger used the following phrases to describe some members of the Montana rightroots:
“wingnut-o-sphere”
“the aging players of the Montana fantasy-based community”
“clever little weasel”
“pathetically weak logic, though sinister”
“the wingnuttiest of the wingnuts”
“the true enemy of anyone rational”
“We should flee these people as lepers were shunned in the middle ages. They’re more toxic, and vastly more barfy to be around.”
“completely freaking ugly”
“write like poorly schooled 5th graders”
Props to our conservative friends in Montana who probably put up with this kind of abuse regularly.
