outing themselves as hateful racist fuckwads lately?

I blame unmonitored comments sections attached to every news site and blog. If a site claims to not tolerate racist or bigoted speech then why is it that almost none of them are on top of that stuff? Honestly someone should sue those sites every time a bigoted comment goes un-deleted for even one minute.
