Which is Worse: Kos or Huffpo?

The Daily Kos web site is coming in for a lot of criticism recently for its hateful content, but I’ve long believed that the Huffington Post is much worse, with a commenting “community” that thinks nothing of open antisemitism, conspiracy theories, or calling for assassination of public figures.

Case in point, a seriously whacked-out article from Michael Shaw (still hung up on the “My Pet Goat” Bush Derangement Syndrome smear), leading to an even more whacked-out series of comments you have to read to believe: Reading The Pictures: Beyond The Pet Goat.

Why ‘Stand Your Ground’ Bill Isn’t a Sure Thing in Red State Georgia

Did What Happen to Payne Stewart Happen to Flight 370?
"If a plane breaks up at altitude, the parts float down, so you find wings and rudders and horizontal stabilizers falling flat," Marks said. "If there was an explosion, you can find burn damage."
