The Liberty Dispatch.
I don't even know where to start. Having a conservative Republican blog is one thing, and isn't anything that would spark my ire; this borders on libel. Now whether any of what Mr. Akins is saying is true or not is really only known to himself and the accused but what bothers me is how cocksure Mr. Akins is of himself, despite the fact that he offers little to no evidence to back up his outrageous allegations. His slack-jawed legion of commenters spout nothing but racism and ignorance in their ill-contrived and grammatically fetid responses. Many of Akins' posts seem to be cut and pasted from other sources, with Mr. Akins simply bolding statements that irk him. This post was even entirely lifted from another website, here. Akins offers up no citations, no honorable mention, not even a nod and claims the entire piece as his own work. I've posted my own responses to some of his blog columns but they have yet to appear, which leads me to think they've been stricken from the record by a man who sees my dissension as a threat or, more likely, just the typical hippie rhetoric from a pinko-Commie, pot-smoking, long-haired college student.
Ray Akins scares the shit out of me. Not for what he's said or done, but for the astounding number of people who seem to blindly agree with him.

While I wholeheartedly agree with your disdain for blind following of unfounded political accusations, don't forget that such cultism happens on both sides of the aisle.
You write of having your comments edited out of the general discourse, and I can tell you of a couple of specific time the same thing has happened to me. Once, even, on a site that claimed to not have a political affiliation, my comments were edited/deleted because the guy running it didn't like them, but, then, when others posted blatantly offensive/untrue things that lined up with his views, they were posted and praised.
It's the first amendment at work, yes, but it's aggravating as hell.
True, very true. He ended up posting one of the comments I made here: http://libertydispatch.blogspot.com/2009/01/obama-taliban-hope.html
Well, you are a long-haired college student...
That I am.
You chose to put down someone who voices their opinion like Mr. Akins, but you do the very thing that you accuse him of. Thank God for people like him that fearlessly go after public official corruption. Why dont you go his in your closet and grow a set of balls.
Lolwut?
Ah I see what you're talking about. You mean this: http://jmodum90.blogspot.com/2009/01/taken-from-another-site-applied-here.html
You see that would be plagiarism, had I not been the author on that site as well. Maybe I should've made that clearer, since not everyone on the internet can connect dots very well.
