The Vanguard.org....is Sick! Stinks to high heaven...

From American Progress:

RADICAL RIGHT -- SWIFT BOAT LEADER HIRED TO RUN RIGHT-WING 'ONLINE COMMUNITY':

Over the weekend, conservative columnist Robert Novak reported that TheVanguard.org, a new right-wing advocacy group, has hired Jerome Corsi as a senior political strategist. Vanguard describes itself as an "online community of Americans who believe in conservative values," and Novak claims it is a "right-wing version of the leftist MoveOn.Org."

By hiring Corsi, Vanguard has made it clear that it intends to hit below the belt and be more than just an "online community." Corsi coordinated the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth attacks against Sen. John Kerry (D-MA), and plans to use Vanguard to "similarly undermine Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton" for her progressive policy stances.

Media Matters documented Corsi's posts on the right-wing Free Republic site, such as calling Islam "a worthless, dangerous Satanic religion." On Catholicism, Corsi wrote, "Boy buggering in both Islam and Catholicism is okay with the Pope as long as it isn't reported by the liberal press," and called Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) a "fat hog" and asked, "Anybody ask why HELLary couldn't keep BJ Bill satisfied? Not lesbo or anything, is she?"
