Comments on Yahoo news articles. Just wow!
I don't know why I even view them. I guess to reaffirm what a hateful, racist, ingnorant society we live in. I was checking out the comments on the Rangell article and a bunch of them were calling for him to be lynched or have a burning tire put around him. Un-fricken-believable. And just about every article includes a bunch of anti-Obama comments. No matter what the topic is. Almost as bad as the Freepers. I'm going to have to quit going there.

1. yeah, those responses aren't usually very sophisticated or progressive, I've
noticed. But you think they would yank the really awful ones!

3. I've reported some of the offensive ones
But it's like digging a hole in water.

2. I never bother with the comments on news sites. I just read the articles.
"I swear, this really happened..."

4. When you see comments like this...
Two things would fix this problem... a tall tree and a short piece of rope.....

You wonder why they don't lock the thread and remove the nastier ones.

5. I just go in and thumbs up the liberal comments
And thumbs down the morans. Sometimes we liberals actually make some headway.
