right-wing rumor-mongering

Daniel De Groot writes a nice piece on the Right's rumor-mongering on the Internet at OpenLeft, kicked off by quotes from this McClatchey article on the Obama rumors. The one-sidedness of the Internet rumors--they are almost all conservatives lying about liberals, and rarely the reverse--is a phenomenon I've noted previously, but I am no closer to having an explanation than De Groot is.
