Last night on the PUMA "radio show" Conflucians Say, Christina from yestodemocracy.com called in and asked about the double standard coming from the PUMA camp regarding offensive comments. While Riverdaughter herself was calm while saying that she didn't think there was a double standard, she never did answer the question on how Howard Dean, of all people, should be held responsible for everything that is posted on the web. Unfortunately, some of her compatriots like "Gary" were less than diplomatic and simply wanted Christina to go away, which is the general knee-jerk reaction from the PUMAs when they encounter anyone questioning their twisted logic.

Anyway, they all asked for links to supposed comments that Christina was referring to, and when she presented them she was told that they didn't come from the Confluence, which is Riverdaughter's blog. Unfortunately, anyone who reads her site on any regular basis sees all kinds of racist and offensive remarks. But despite their iron fist crackdown to delete any comments that aren't in lock-step with their own views, these offensive remarks, often from their regular contributors, stick around with nary a word said against them.

There are many examples out there, but I'll just give you one in particular to chew on from a regular contributor to Riverdaughter's site.

I hope Dean, Pelosi, Axelrod, Brazile, Oblahma etc all come down with the same “I treated Hillary like Shit Flu” that has taken out Kennedy, Russert, Novak and Bernie Mac.
As my friend’s 5 year old once said “God don’t like ugly!”

While not outwardly a death threat, that is wishing a number of people die, including Barack Obama and expressing glee that some other people have died or gotten gravely ill.

God don't like ugly, indeed.
