KYpolitics.org, a right-wing blog devoted to chronicling political happenings in the Bluegrass state, just borrowed a page from the Bill Hobbs playbook: Publishing a doctored photo of a woman in Islamic headdress holding a child; both the woman and the child bear the photoshopped face of Barack Obama alongside the following commentary:

Some call him the greatest man ever. Some say he’s the world’s No. 1 celebrity. Others, well, others — like those who work for NBC News — claim he’s the new Messiah. If ever there was a doubt in anyone’s mind…here’s proof.

I read KYpolitics.org–and the counterpart left-wing blog Bluegrass Report–regularly, and I see instances of bias in both pretty often. That’s not unusual in the blogosphere. This latest nonsense is not only tacky, but just plain hateful and shameful. We’re all entitled to our opinions, but there’s no need to resort to these kind of childish antics to (try to) make a point. There are plenty of things I don’t like (and some things I do like) about John McCain, but you won’t see me grafting his face onto anything, not to mention anything this tasteless.
