« MSM Moonbats Declare Obama to Be God | Main | It's My Tea Party »

Thank You!
Thanks to the tips and other invaluable contributions provided by its cherished readers, Moonbattery is #70 on Wikio's list of the most influential political blogs. From ABC News:
One of the intriguing aspects of this list is that it puts everyone in the same pot. The list has mainstream media blogs — from ABC News, CNN, The New York Times, and others — alongside well-known partisan bloggers — Michelle Malkin, FireDogLake — and even government-run bloggers, like WhiteHouse.gov's.
If I ever have time to follow up on even half of the excellent leads readers provide, Moonbattery will break the top 20.
On tips from Oiao, Burning Hot, Scaramouche, and Atomic Lib Smasher.

Your blog should really be higher, but where is Hot Air?

way to go Van and fellow conservatives. we should be higher more like in the top twenty. The recognition is awesome and could affect 2010 election.

Congrats, Van! Well-deserved recognition.
A couple dozen more crazed moonbat trolls posting day and night about their feelings, and we'll see 40 or even 30 within a year.

Moonbattery is number ONE on my list....thanks for all you do Van, and an extended thanks to everyone who keeps the fires of truth burning!

What do you think Brandy, Ghost Wellstoned, and Wingnutlicker? Seems everyday WE are getting stronger. The message is spreading ignorant liberals!
Posted by: Dave at June 6, 2009 1:58 PM
Gratz mate, I think I've been here fromt he beginning.
(And I'm pretty sure well-stoned is seething as he continues his blog-nobody reads)

Keep up the great work Van Helsing. You've got the best damned blog on the entire internet...and as far as I'm concerned, you're #1 in my book. I admire you for what you do in your ongoing crusade to expose the moonbats who pollute our planet.

WoooHooo!!! Way 2 Go!!!!!

Congrats Van.
Must be some interesting server stats on the hit rate versus the post rate.
The couple of trolls that do post here most certainly do not represent the total # of liberals that view the site.

Thank God for a such a great site! Keep us the great work!

Way to go Van!
Should I post my address so the FBI can find me?

Congrats! Long live Moonbattery!

I've got to say, you do a great job at what you do. Do you have a day job as well?
Posted by: Brandon at June 6, 2009 4:47 PM
Excellent blog. It's one of the best blogs I've ever read. The views spouted here really represent what most Americans think and feel. Keep the articles coming.

Congratulations, glad to see Moonbattery up on the list.
Posted by: Viking04 at June 6, 2009 5:59 PM
I found this site through Michael Savage.com about a year ans half ago. I visit everyday.
Happy Happy Joy Joy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Brandy do you have a job?
Posted by: Dave at June 6, 2009 6:56 PM
Long live moonbattery. Can't remember how I found this place, but it's great.
Posted by: Scaramouche at June 6, 2009 7:04 PM
The number one place for skewering liberal pieties, exposing leftist lies, and shining a light on the truth. Congratulations. Keep fighting the good fight.

I like this site because it has an informal attitude. It must be a combination of the joke articals mixed with the serious ones and the fact that we sometimes throw snark and good-natured taunts at each other.
Posted by: KHarn at June 6, 2009 8:33 PM
I read Moonbattery like it was the friggin' newspaper. Every day. The news is way more accurate anyways than what I would find in the Chicago Tribune or what have you.
A big congrats, VH ...and also to the many other conservative bloggers still out there today.
Posted by: Atomic Lib Smasher at June 6, 2009 8:59 PM
you deserve the honor of being recognized, van - you are as fair as you are scrutinous! (is that a word?)

I first started coming here when I found a picture at the Google Image search that V. H. was using to depict Cuban health care. It was a picture of someone playing the kid's game Operation. I immediately stole the idea and used it in an article for a different site. I've been coming here stealing Van's ideas ever since.
Thanks, V. H. You've created a beautiful thing here.
Posted by: Kevin R at June 7, 2009 11:17 AM
Moonbattery is #1 in my book too! Congrats and big thanks to Van and all who participate! I read every day without fail.
Posted by: Karin at June 7, 2009 11:22 AM
Outstanding work!
Posted by: Byron at June 7, 2009 1:20 PM
Thanks Van for all the hard work and time consumed in keeping the best blog alive and well.
I refuse to give kudos to the regulars here who always beat me to the best comments ;)
Thanks to all

Excellent site! I have been reading it daily for several years now, although I never posted much until the Moonbats officially took over the executive branch of the government. Like many other Americans, I feel that now more than ever we need to make our voices heard.
Lots of humor here on Moonbattery - and that's important to maintaining our optimism in times like this. Lots of serious stuff too - and the funniest thing of all is that the Loopy, Loony, Lemming-Like Liberal Leftist Losers that drop by to chat usually can't tell the difference.....
Something tells me you're gonna have a lot to work with in the next 3-1/2 years.....
Good Stuff, VH!!!!

Congrats Van!
Just out of interest, is blogging your fulltime occupation, or a sideline?

Great stuff here, as always! Thanks to VH- for running this site the way you do, and for interacting and responding personally to e-mails and such.
And thanks as well to TonyD95B, who turned me on to this site over a year ago. It's a daily read for me. I don't miss it.

While I'm at it, thanks to the rest of the Moonbattery community here as well. The commentary is usually very enlightening. There are a lot of thoughtful, intelligent, and passionate people here. I always look forward to hearing what you all have to say on said topic... so thanks nancz, cowlove, Jay Guevara, Jimbo, mandible claw, Spurwing (Flu-Bird, Turu), Kharn, VtheK, etc... I learn a lot of things from all of you. Great perspective and vast knowledge. I can't list everyone's name, but the community as a whole here is what makes it so great!
Keep up the great work!
Posted by: Murff at June 8, 2009 5:31 AM
Mandible Claw,
If only I could do this full time, I'd be using a lot more of the excellent tips I get.
Posted by: Van Helsing at June 8, 2009 7:31 AM
There have been concerns mentioned about that list in this thread and other places, so I won't rehash them. But I will second the calls that Moonbattery.com should be higher! Ever since I found this site, it has been one of only about 4 or 5 sites that are my MUST READS every day. Great job and keep it up VH!
Posted by: Matt at June 9, 2009 11:00 AM
Congradulations, Van. I would proudly second all of the previous remarks, they speak very well and accurately of your excellent blog here. Your posts are a definite and informative must-read, thanks for keeping us all up on these cultural wildfires we have to battle.
Rock On!
Posted by: ChicagoBlood at June 9, 2009 12:52 PM
Of the 5 or 6 blogs that I try to keep up with (not very successfully), moonbattery is always the first priority.
