Drudge has sunk to a new low.
His latest headline: OLYMPIC SPIRIT: VIDEO SHOWS BRUTAL GANG MURDER IN CHICAGO
He is so petty and grasping for straws against President Obama it's disgusting. He combines two totally un-related things. All he wants to do is attack Obama for doing things anyone would do, like supporting a U.S. Olympic bid. The timing of Drudge putting this headline up, as soon as Obama announced he will fly to meet with the IOC to lobby for Chicago, is no coincidence.
Every city on the Olympic list is big and I assume they have gang-related crime too. Drudge is such a nasty, bitter instigator. I can't put into words my disdain.
The cross-eyed Iowa primitive, who's a hefty near-sighted guy:

4. Xactly. Stop giving the freeper sites traffic. My guess is that close to half of their traffic is dems/libs/progressives curious about what new and disgusting brand of hate they are spewing now. Kind of like rubber necking and staring at a car wreck.
My suggestion is pass on by without giving them any traffic.
The old meme of 'know your enemy' does not hold up. We know that the internet model is based on traffic. Deprive them of that and their internet presence will be diminished.

2. I doubt that is a new low for Drudge since he is already about as low as anyone can get but I sure am not going to go look and find out.
The blue primitive, who's okay with rampant political corruption and graft, provided he gets free medical care out of it:

5. Remember this Drudge screaming headline not too long ago...
photograph of headline WHITE STUDENT BEATEN ON SCHOOL BUS; CROWD CHEERS
That very day Rush Limbaugh went on to talk about how white kids getting beat up is now reality in Obama's America.

7. Many incidents of violence committed by African Americans will be linked to Obama
It will be done courtesy of the mediawhores and the reich wing echo chamber.
This is now reality because Obama is an African American prez.
Was violence committed by whites ever linked to Bush or the other white presidents? Of course not.
This country makes me sick to my stomach sometimes.
The primitives on Skins's island make franksolich sick to his stomach all the time.

8. chicago has a HIGH crime rate
"With a crime rate of 61 per one thousand residents, Chicago has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes - from the smallest towns to the very largest cities. One's chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime here is one in 16. Within Illinois, more than 90% of the communities have a lower crime rate than Chicago.
"Importantly, when you compare Chicago to other cities of similar population, the Chicago crime rate (violent and property crimes combined) is quite a bit higher than average. Regardless of how Chicago does relative to all communities in America of all sizes, when NeighborhoodScout compared it to communities of similar population size, its crime rate per thousand residents stands out as higher than most.

10. Sludge Is So 20th Century...
One big change I've noticed in recent years here on DU is how irrelevant Sludge has become. His sirens no longer raise the hairs on our backs...if anything, he's become not just a joke but a parody for what was once the Mighty Wurlitzer.
Oh my. The train wreck primitive just described not Drudge, but Skins's island.
