Racism Alive and Well on Fox News Comment Boards

http://littlegreenfootballs.com/article/39912_Fox_News_Commenters_Respond_to_Whitney_Houstons_Death_With_Deluge_of_Hatred_and_Racism

This is just too much. Over 5,000 comments re: Whitney Houston's death and so many of them about Obama and using hate language I just couldn't read it. Fox will probably delete as soon as they realize it's gone public.

This is what we face, folks. This is the RW base, and they are fired up for November.

1. Wow

That is unbelieveable.

[HughBeaumont]

2. Insufferable Rightloon nutjobs are good at four things:

1. Making canyon-leaps in hypotheses/logic.
2. Making the most solar-system-remote topic be about (or blaming) President Obama.
3. Making the most solar-system-remote topic be about (or blaming) race.
4. Only seeing the poor as nothing but "lazy system gamers who cheat and take mah taxez" while giving the wealthy "system gamers" who pretty much do the same thing a free pass.

3. Overt hate...how noble *not*

and forgive me for a little side note...but isn't Little Green Football pro Right (and therefore pro fox)?

Did they make a U-turn somehwere?

4. I'd never heard of that site before. I found this on Facebook..:-) n/t

6. They may not have made a U-turn, but they did slam on the brakes

before approaching the cliff.

LGF's founder had a very public dustup with vile hatemonger Pam Geller a few years ago, causing him to return to sanity.

7. LGF did an about-face a couple of years ago

They're now sorta progressive/moderate. But yes, they were once a site for frothing at the mouth conservative Troglodytes.

[Arkansas Granny]

5. That's really disgusting.

[Cali_Democrat]

8. There was also another Fox article with comments about the hospitalization of Whitney's daughter

The comments were just as vile. Talking about gunning down black people and running black people over with cars. Also, many folks said they were happy Whitney died because she was an "Obama voter".

[LadyHawkAZ]

9. In other news: water is wet, the sky is blue

outer space is really big and Sarah Palin is an idiot.

[Mr Dixon]

10. SHM

Anonymous post are for cowards, nothing more than the KKK bubbas that are so tough in groups but shy as sheep when their alone. Reminds me of being in Germany on the train and 3 skinheads sat next to me before the realized I was black, non said a word not even in German, 3 to 1 and silent really fucking tough guys.

[FarLeftFist]

11. Is it possible to inform them that if they don't clean up their boards with moderation we will

EXPOSE them to the public? Surely there must be something that can be done.

12. Typical

Not all FOX News viewers are Racists, but just about all Racists are FOX News viewers.

[Mr Dixon]

13. Agreed

Good point

[PotatoChip]

14. I attempted to read the comments- (would not recommend it)

Got no more then a few down before I began feeling physically ill. Absolutely disgusting.

[Johnny2X2X]

15. Disgusting

Yeah, I was curious and read several dozen, wow, to those saying it was just a few posters, this is incorrect, this is a couple thousand posts from several hundred unique of FOX News viewers most of which are disgusting and sick racists. If it were a hand full of posts or even several dozen that were bad, but this is hundreds of posts of pure racist garbage. It definitely says something about FOX News and their viewers.
