This guy appears to be JUST NOW figuring out that people like Arianna Huffington (and there are hundreds-of-thousands more where she came from) ARE the animals who are ‘more equal’ than all the others.

Smegma is one of my favorite insults to use on liberals! They have to look it up to find out they’ve been insulted!

This is especially true for leftists,
because their primary reason for being leftists
is to feel good about themselves,
to feel superior intellectually and morally.

You can’t get a bigger fraud than the liberal elite. Maybe this middle east turmoil has awakened something inside the ignorant Leftist masses that is going to be directed to the Liberal elite.

40 million Americans who live in poverty

I would like this guy's definition of poverty because I haven't seen it.

Liberals are so stooopid it takes getting slapped in the face with a wet fish for them to realize what the rest of the world long ago did...

As Ronald Reagan used to say....A liberal is one who has read Karl Marx; a conservative is one who UNDERSTANDS Karl Marx.

If by “sharing the wealth” you mean hiring another nice studly young pool boy, maybe.

Otherwise?

I’m sure many of the bloggers were still infected with the “American Dream” that their writing would lead to greater visibility and be part of a career move — basically, they paying their dues, on their way to becoming another moneyed “talking head.” In which case they should feel honored to have worked for so an illustrious rag, that provided a vast audience and the potential a great public viewership. So things didn’t work out (no big career)... Oh well, become an arch conservative and extract bloody justice.

I'm no Arianna Huffington fan but she has no need to apologize to anyone for taking AOL to the cleaners. $315 million? Give me a break. AOL will be lucky to get 10 cents on the dollar when they try to dump it a few years down the road.

I read she was gaming the system by fiddling with their content and googles search algorithms. I wonder what AOL thinks about that? Nothing probably. You are likely correct and down the road Zsa-Zsa's little collection of scabbed web content and "original" content from her slave plantation is going to be worth a happy meal.

Speaking of google, what a scam that company has always been. They steal content and get away with it.

Stories on popular sites are judged not by the traditional standards of journalism but by how many hits they receive...

LOL - yeah we, the people, are tired of reporters 'giving voice' to the same old tired liberal victim groups. (hint: it's NOT 1968) We're blamed for not giving those endless, overexposed, unbelievable liberal fantasies any hits? Ummm, this guy needs to get out of his bubble and walk among the people for a week - and not the one's some liberal social worker gave him to interview...

I have a book called “Economics Explained”. It was co-written by two or three economists. It has a section in which the author deeply and thoroughly kisses Marx’s @$$ as one of the greatest, most knowledgeable economists of all time (semi-direct quote “Due to his extensive study of the subject, he had such a deep understanding of economics that it is hard to comprehend”.) I quit reading the book after that sentence, since I knew that at least one of the authors had no real comprehension of economics.

I wonder if Ariana will ‘share the wealth’?

A liberal elite 'share HER wealth'?

ROTFLMAO...

Don’t stop with Arianna. Apply this same analysis to all the top ‘Rat movers and shakers. Maybe Valerie “slum lord” Jarrett could be next.

I don't believe Arianna put a gun to the contributors heads or had blackmail pictures to release.

They contracted to write for peanuts, they perceived a value for being in the blog. That she was able to get that kind of money for her blog is probably a combination of shrewd business acumen by her and a moronic decision by AOL.

Huffington couldn’t have made one dime without all the willing idiots who paid to read her Marxist crap. THIS WAY TO THE EGRESS! ONLY 50 CENTS!

Actually I think the author has a point.
If Zsa Zsa were a sincere, committed Liberal/Socialist, she would have gladly Shared the Wealth with everyone appearing on the HuffPo.
