Anonymust
I agree that Salon believes that not allowing links will reduce spam. It is the same reason they close the threads after a few days. There are, unfortunately, certain technical people that believe that spam is the worst evil that ever has been or ever will be inflicted upon the human race.
Mostly they are the tech equivalent of the plumber who is either too stupid or too lazy to fix your toilet and will tell you with a straight face that learning to crap in the woods is an acceptable solution.
Luckily, these people will die out as technology permeates society and the phrase "but I am the magic wizard with tech skillz +7" will finally be grounds for termination and a chorus of derisive laughter.

Right Wing Preachers
Glenn,
You are confusing "America Haters" with "sin haters." Parsley, Robertson, Hagee, Falwell, and others, have never been considered haters of "America" by even their harshest critics. In fact there is plenty of evidence they went to great lengths to demonstrate their patriotism. They have been accused of hate "speech" because of their beliefs that certain sins (homosexuality, abortion etc.)
condoned by the American government and courts would bring God's wrath to America. This is different from the hatred expressed by Wright toward America and the accusation for example that the US government was instrumental in infecting African Americans with HIV.

Typical liberal double standard
When Wright/Obama/Faraquan do it, then it's honest airing of views about the role of race in America. When Instapun* do it, then it's repulsive racist screed.

Indeed
[Glenn, from the post]: As I made explicitly clear, I never suggested anything of the sort. Rather, my post illustrated how the right-wing noise machine functions -- by promoting and courting the most extremist and hateful elements for political gain while trying to keep a safe distance so as to evade responsibility...
Which is what Hannity did in having Hal Turner on as a "regular caller" on his radio show too.....
Cheers,

"It's the difference between Left and Right. Conservatives think that liberals are mistaken. LIberals believe conservatives are evil and haters."
Have a few recently published book titles:
Deliver Us from Evil : Defeating Terrorism, Despotism, and Liberalism by Sean Hannity
Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism by Ann Coulter
Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning by Jonah Goldberg
The Enemy Within: Saving America from the Liberal Assault on our Schools, Faith, and Military by Michael Savage
That took about 5 minutes to hunt up.
I'll spare you the results of a quote search. There are too many of them.
