Rightosphere (right blogosphere)

The “rightosphere” is the “right blogosphere,” containing blogs of the political right. The term “rightosphere” has been in print since at least May 2005. A similar term—using Latin—is “dextrosphere” (since April 2005).
   
The opposite of rightosphere/dextrosphere is “leftosphere” (since March 2006) or “sinistrosphere” (since July 2005).

For those of you just tuning in, Deb made a name for herself in the rightosphere by making altogether disturbing, one might say John Mark Karr-esque comments about Goldstein’s family.

I do know, however, that many bloggers and posters on the “Rightosphere” are very comfortable espousing hatred toward an entire group of people.

Conservative bloggers questioned the AP’s source for that information — an Iraqi policeman named Jamil Hussein — after the U.S. military and the Iraq Interior Ministry initially said there was no Iraqi policeman by that name. Bloggers claimed it was evidence that the media was trying to portray a grimmer picture of Iraq than actually existed, and suggested that the source was a fake. Blogger Digby called it the “rightosphere’s Jamail Hussein witch hunt.”

Mr. Henke, for one, thinks the Democratic dominance on the Web will last only as long as the Democrats are out of power.
 
“Politics in America are very cyclical, and the left is on the upswing,” he said. “Elect President Hillary Clinton and you’ll see a much stronger Rightosphere as the right gradually finds leadership and develops the tools to deal with their grievances.”
