Looks like a backslider has been spotted.

From Gawker.com

It gets worse, though. Chris Parry, it appears, has advocated on his Daily Kos blog any number of egregious offenses, among them: posting hate speech on sites like Free Republic and blaming it on conservatives. Parry posted under the name “hollywoodoz” on Daily Kos, where his signature was “Fool me once, I’ll punch you in the f******* head.” Parry outed himself as hollywoodoz here, where he discloses the company he helped start. In essence: Parry, the journalist, found his story right where he’d been circling it for a very long time, and reported it as news. Sigh.

Bottom line: Parry’s noble intentions are paving him a road to hell, by taking the same one the slimeball majority at Free Republic employs. They’re probably going to cheer a “mainstream,” centrist blog pointing out the offenses of a liberal reporter trying to expose hate speech, but they shouldn’t get it mixed up. A quick glance at Free Republic and you’ll probably see the same thing I did: some of the most egregious examples that lend credence to the idea that some people just shouldn’t be allowed near a keyboard, or to open their mouths, no matter what their political affiliation. (more…)

Should Parry even be considered a “backslider” in the first place?

I say “no” because his actions are the very essence of politics in the first place: “Do as I say, not as I do” and “By any means necessary.” The so-called moral compass used in the political area is guided by these two principles.

While this discovery in no way absolves Free Republic for stooping as low as it did comparing Michelle Obama to a monkey, Parry’s creditably in general has been shot down.

But again, Parry did not write the comments that put Free Republic under so much fire.
