wingnut welfare wars!

FDL chuckles at how Regency's authors are suing them for not sharing enough of the "profits". I never knew the bloggers were in on the welfare. From an earlier FDL post on it:

When the wingnuts chant their talking points like a bunch of tambourine-beaters at the airport, they want to be paid for their efforts. And Pajamas Media was set up to do just that. They received by some accounts $7 million dollars to subsidize 70 right wing bloggers, and if you look at their sites there are no ads, many don’t even identify their affiliation with a logo. Look at some full-on loon like the Confederate Yankee who earns his/her 800 hits a day by having seizures over Google’s attempts to mock Christmas with Jesus butt plugs. The General will easily draw twenty times the traffic with his rapier-witted takedown, but the Confederate Yankee probably earns a lot more money than the General. These illiterate zeros are being paid out of principal, not out of any ad revenues. They are all Armstrong Williams.

Ha. But it's an interesting point on how successful they've been spreading their message. I guess they have more money than we do :(

EDIT: Regnery. All this time and I just read it right for the first time. Not Regency, Regnery. Lol.
