commenters on FOX and yahoo and really every online publication and blog despite proclamations of monitored comments discouraging bullying, racism and bigotry are pretty much all full on racist. I've seen cooking articles, advice columns, celebrity gossip, movie reviews and boring financial articles with racist nonsense blaming immigrants, minorities and Obama for problems completely unassociated with the said article. Clearly comments are not as advertised monitored. And there is a massive amount of ugly unemployed racist trolling miserable a-holes out there who gleefully post nasty crap wherever they can. Even DU has jerks who have to crap on anyone they perceive to not agree with them. If what you are about to post mocks or belittles someone don't post. How difficult is that? The Internet is cesspool. FOX especially. I feel bad for this family.
