Cropped into unfortunate lumps

An online "review" entitled 'The Internet Right - Are They Doing It Right?' provides a case-study in language-challenged conservative behaviour. The 'logic' of the article is particularly exhausting:

"Unfortunately most liberal internet sites crop all the right sites into one lump. What's worse is that on the extreme left all these sites unfortunately may be viewed as hate sites or dangerously fanatic. But that is why they are called, [sic] the extreme left."
They argue that the Left is 'extremist' because it identifies hate speech and dangerous fanaticism among Right-wing sites - thereby also 'cropping' the Left into one 'extremist lump'. To confirm suspicions of outright propagandising one can put away the twisted logic, and simply read the writer's roll-call of "excellent right wing platforms online", where he glowingly reports that "Well seasoned and well blogged is The American Daily, http://americandaily.com..." - yes, the same site publishing (not syndicating) the 'article'.
