What happens when a commenter on a right wing blog disagrees with the rest of the people there? Easy – they are tagged as some “leftist invader”. Now Andrew Breitbart is on the war path against these “leftist invaders”:

A digital war has broken out, and the conservative movement is losing. Read the comment sections of right-leaning blogs, news sites and social forums, and the evidence is there in ugly abundance. Internet hooligans are spewing their talking points to thwart the dissent of the newly-out-of-power.

We must not let that go unanswered.

Uninvited Democratic activists are on a mission to demoralize the enemy – us. They want to ensure that President Obama is not subject to the same coordinated, facts-be-damned, multimedia takedown they employed over eight long years to destroy the presidency – and the humanity – of George W. Bush.

Political leftists play for keeps. They are willing to lie, perform deceptive acts in a coordinated fashion and do so in a wicked way – all in the pursuit of victory. Moral relativism is alive and well in the land of Hope and Change and its Web-savvy youth brigade expresses its “idealism” in a most cynical fashion.

Two of the biggest righty blogs out there are Hot Air and Michelle Malkin. Head on over to those blogs and try to comment. What? You can’t? That’s because the only way to comment on these sites is to be invited.

Now let’s compare that to one of the major lefty blogs out there, Crooks and Liars, a blog I am intimately familiar with. We allowed anonymous people to comment on the blog until November of last year. Now you must be registered, but anyone can do so. Have we seen our fair share of “righty invaders” there? Sure. But we don’t instantly mark everyone who disagrees with the position as some sort of “invader”. Dissenting opinions are welcome. If they get nasty and try to start flame wars or thread hijacking, well then our site monitors warn and/or ban them. It’s called vigilance, and I spend a great deal of my development time for Crooks and Liars improving the tools we have to deal with problem commenters. As matter of fact a big new upgrade to that system will go into effect this week.

That’s a stark difference from the way right wing blogs do things. Instead they actually welcome such comments, then people like Breitbart jumps on them to paint the entire right wing blogosphere as some sort of victim to a bunch of evil lefties. Just think back to the original challenge I issued in this post; commenting on sites that are by invite only. If you must be invited to comment on these sites, then how are these invaders getting in there? Well duh!!!!

Actually its the right who started using site comments as a weapon in this “war”. Michelle Malkin started it a couple of years ago by picking out comments on the HuffPo. It was when there was a suicide bombing in Afghanistan while Cheney was there and some people said things like “darn they missed”. Instantly she pushed out this story and the media even picked it up.

Well that started something new, and the blogs on our side started watching the righty comments and highlighting the insensitive ones they put out (see here for an example). Of course the righty bloggers instantly claimed that “those aren’t our opinions”. Funny how that applies to them, but not us.

When you got a bunch of dissension among the ranks of invite only blogs, which represent the party in the fastest decline of membership, then you can’t admit the facts. Instead you create a strawman to mislead what is really happening. That’s exactly what Breitbart did in this article.
