I used to visit the HonestReporting's weblog, MediaBackspin. Eventually I became disgusted with the rampant anti-Arab venom being spewed everywhere, the alacrity with which they would shrilly shriek "Anti-Semitism!" for reasons as stupid as a mural depicting Sharon with a kippa (along with their hypocritic demand that "Jews use the cry of anti-Semitism all the time" is a myth), their use of single incidents to slander entire countries and peoples, and their bizarre obsession with slipping insults against "the Left" into every rant they make, like some modern-day Cato.
Most of the time they will try to convince you that they are not, in fact, vile hate-mongers--it is rather you who are the bigot, because not agreeing with them completely means you are clearly opposed to the Jewish State which means you are clearly opposed to Jews which means you're a hateful anti-Semite. And they try to justify their bigotry by claiming that Islam is an oppressive, belligerent religion (consisting only, they seem to think, of a handful of quotes taken out of context).
And they completely ignore how oppressive all other religions, including their own, are.
