Freak Republic blogger, who once called Chelsea Clinton "hideously ugly", hired by McCain

[BlueStater]

McCain and his blogger apparently agree: Chelsea Clinton is "ugly"

In 2004, a poster on the conservative website FreeRepublic.com using
the pseudonym "Kerry Crusher" -- identified on FreeRepublic.com as
blogger Patrick Hynes -- characterized Chelsea Clinton as "hideously
ugly." The comment recalled a "joke" Sen. John McCain (R-AZ)
reportedly told about Clinton in 1998: "Why is Chelsea Clinton so
ugly? Because her father is Janet Reno." Hynes was hired by McCain's
Straight Talk America political action committee in 2006. In addition
to the Chelsea Clinton smear, "Kerry Crusher" also attacked McCain
himself in 2004 as "a contemptable human being."

As Media Matters for America noted, The New York Times and Associated
Press both reported Catholic League president Bill Donohue's criticism
that two bloggers hired by John Edwards' presidential campaign are
"anti-Catholic, vulgar, trash-talking bigots," without noting
Donohue's history of vulgar, trash-talking bigotry, or his dismissal
of anti-Kerry operative Jerome Corsi's anti-Catholic bigotry in 2004.
Citing several of Hynes' controversial comments, blogger Glenn
Greenwald argued on February 7 that the same standard the Times and
the AP applied to Edwards and his bloggers should be applied to all
candidates, including McCain:
