Freeper racism is going more public
The AOL homepage now has a story about it.

Of course freeptards and others are desperately trying to defend the indefensible. Rimjob is even on FR more now spinning like crazy.

1. Stupid Is As Stupid Does...
It's been too much amusement. The more the light is shown on the scum, the more filth they produce. They respond to their racism with more bile...and add homophobia, mysogeny and the lack of class and intelect on full display. Keep up the fine work, Freeps...the more you deny, the more you expose your ugliness.

Interesting that AOL is spotlighting it as their message boards are just as racist and offensive as those in Freeperland.

2. How long before a "Call to Action?" I assume that they will link
Bonnie Goldstein to the Daily Kos, a bogus article and call for her to be fired. Dang liberal media.

3. Wait Bill O'Reilly called them out
For what? Not being vile enough, or being too vile and not enough hate?

5. The most damning part is not that there are racists at FR
We already knew that. The damning part is that moderators/Rimjob reviewed the thread and THEN put it back up.

7. damning part
Don't blame the Moderator. There were 3 separate entries. Moderator would pull one down, and a second would pop up; pull that one, and a 3rd appears. That happens over there a lot, because some of the inmates are now trying to run the asylum.
