A plethora of new right-wing web sites.
They love to tweat on twitter because they like to compete to see who can come up with the best one-liner.

But, I have noticed that there are some new right-wing sites out there. Even Tucker Carlson has come out of semi-retirement to start a new blog. And the gal that guest hosts on Morning Joe sometimes, Tina Brown, has a new website that is quoted often. And it has been reported that a lot more right-wingers are posting on Huffington than ever before.

Perhaps they are coming to the realization that they got their butts kicked on the Internets in the last election. However, I will be surprised if they are very successful at this new endeavor. They love to talk - not write. That's why they love "talk radio".

1. Oh, I dunno about that.
You've got a point with Tucker Carlson, but I'd hesitate to call Brown's Daily Beast a "right-wing" site, and as for right-wingers posting on HuffingtonPost, I haven't seen any new right-wing bloggers, though the commenters' views do vary quite a bit.

2. Tucker Carlson isn't coming out of semi-retirement, his "blog" is
a last ditch attempt at relevance and to make some coin. He's only 40.

He was axed by CNN.

Axed by MSNBC.

He's not even really invited on any more for panel discussions.

So, he starts a blog to gin up some controversy and get his face on the TeeVees.

He's just copy-catting Tina Brown who was facing the same nose dive into obscurity and has pushed her way back on the cable shows as a "commentator" as she failed in numerous attempts in the magazine industry.

Nothing to worry about, IMO.

3. I think there's a racist white power website in the top 5 visited sites
The right-wing hasn't lost because of the internet, they've lost because of torture, a conspiracy to commit war, economic crimes, propaganda, looting America and pure hypocritical bullshit in every aspect of their hideous repuke lives.
