Why the Huffington Post is Shit!

More front page shit from the Huffington Post.

Be sure to check out the comments---they eviscerate HuffPo.




Emma Roberts is kind of our hero.

The 21-year-old actress and girlfriend of "Glee" star Chord Overstreet headed to lunch in Beverly Hills on Thursday wearing a super cute polka dot top but of course, Emma soon found herself being tailed by the paparazzi.

After Roberts ducked into her restaurant, the photographers decided to take photos inside the backseat of her car (questionable?), and their lenses seem to have found something surprising lying right out in the open: a pair of bra-stuffing devices.

The squishy chest enhancers, which are informally known as "chicken cutlets" for what they resemble (it's gross, we know), can be bought at stores like Victoria's Secret.

The site is rampant with ignorant, racist, 'right' wing trolls. The front page also always has some gross stuff on it, I don't mean nudity, I mean really gross sick stories and pictures. Lastly their politics page is not even center left, it is definitely center right to outright 'right', remember who bought the site after the old lady sold out, Aol!

the RWers took over.

They made many of the RWers mods and they started purging the liberals and progressives.

HP is FreeRepublicLite now.

more people will know about 'chicken cutlets' then what the GOP and DLC are doing to this country.

You and I may care about what is really going on in the world but to the majority 'chicken cutlets' are more important.

that hardly leaves them any time for anything but TMZ plagiarizing.

We can refer to Huffpo as a 2%er... SInce at a maximum, that is how much "REAL" news content and honest commentary she allows on the site.

had his heart surgery was ridiculous. It was getting so deep in there with all of the sanguine well wishes, I wanted to retch. And in view of Cheney's recent nastiness toward Obama, I feel vindicated. I think the Greek Goddess lives in fear of litigation.

left wingers read, like DU, they have broadened their base.

of checking it out occasionally is simply a news re-reporting site and as such pants.

I also glimpse at Fox occasionally at lunchtime here in the UK but only to check out Martha Maccallum's legs.

If you're on FB check out Mamie Van Doren sometime. Unbelievable legs for an 81 year old. She's good fun too.

Because she opposed the Iraq war, she gained a lot of credibility on the left and used that to build her website.

However, she was a long time conservative Republican. In 2000 she supported Bush and repeatedly attack Al Gore in her Washington Times column. In 2006 and 2007, she constantly attacked Hillary Clinton, the then Democratic frontrunner, but was silent about the GOP field. Since President Obama took office she has blamed everything on him, yet there is no mention of the unprecedented obstruction by the GOP. When she does criticize the Republicans it is usually in the context of the Dems are just as bad as they are.

She has been completely silent about Paul Ryan's budgets as she was about the Bush tax cuts until the President agreed to extend them. Then she came out against them and blamed President Obama.

Recently, she has decided that the President will win re-election. So rather than hold Mitt Romney or the republicans to account; she has decided to go after the President instead.

This woman is a phony. People on the left need to realize this and call her on her BS.
