Yahoo Comment Clowns: Our Hatred Burns Like An Eternal Flame, No Matter WHAT the Subject Is.

http://music.yahoo.com/blogs/music-news/love-won-t-keep-them-together-%E2%80%94-captain---tennille-are-divorcing-010913382.html

Utterly amazing that, even on a story so apolitical as this one, the Yahoo Comment Clowns will come up with SOME creative way to get around saying "I hate (insert racial slur here)s, expeshially that (racial slur) in the White House!!1!!!"

What must it be like to live with such blatant contempt and hatred and willingly never change or turn it off for even a second?

They love to stir up something to get people to notice them. It's all over Mediaite as well - especially the Facebook pages. People who make up names and post racist pictures as their profiles just love to be the biggest trolls as well!!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo_%28Gulliver%27s_Travels%29

A Yahoo is a legendary being in the novel Gulliver's Travels (1726) by Jonathan Swift.

Swift describes them as being filthy and with unpleasant habits, resembling human beings far too closely for the liking of protagonist Lemuel Gulliver, who finds the calm and rational society of intelligent horses, the Houyhnhnms, greatly preferable. The Yahoos are primitive creatures obsessed with "pretty stones" they find by digging in mud, thus representing the distasteful materialism and ignorant elitism Swift encountered in Britain. Hence the term "yahoo" has come to mean "a crude, brutish or obscenely coarse person".
