A warning...

Probably none of you would go there, but if you were thinking of it, do NOT read the comments section on the CNN site after the Rodney King death story.

I made that mistake, and regretted it.

90% of the posts sound like they were written by Klansmen on a "white lighting" bender.

2. I always read the comments of articles that I read,

although I have not seen this one. I am always shocked at the hatred I see, no matter what the subject matter is. I blame these anonymous comments for much of the opinion that spouting hatred is now acceptable in RL.

3. I went to freerepublic to see what the racist have to say.

Foxnation has it listed as an inspiring story, How christ like of them.

4. CNN should pull the comments from the site

6. That would be classy thing to do. Don't expect it.

5. At least some of that is a style thing, a pissing contest, one-ups-manship. Too bad

some of them will take it for reality.

I have a RW-er amongst my FB friends. The flames are so out there, so absurd, that I'm thinking at least some of it is BULLSHIT and they know it.
