WOW! Just clicked a Rachel Maddow/Clint Eastwood link to the Hollywood Reporter. . . .

and the vitriol in the comments blew my hair back. The headline: "Eastwood Trashed by On-Air Pundits" led me to click on it. Some knuckle-dragging racists felt compelled to spew their hate on the comments section of The Hollywood Reporter? Really? Virtually every one of the comments was a vicious attack on either Rachel Maddow or the president. Just, wow.



Sure would be fun to watch The Duchess get a'hold of some of them. . . .

When Drudge links to anything, the articles usually get loads of racist comments.

The Republican base in action.

Drudge posts a link to Hollywood Reporter and the knuckledraggers have to post on there. Always they are people who never talk about TV or Movies but about politics. It's such crap. I personally like that site, but they have to reign in that crap and put an end to it. Those people add nothing to the conversation. Just more an more lies and racist rants.
