Yes, the rightwingers have invaded the comment section. That's what they do and they do it well. They rush in in droves and spout their negative crap. Instead of ignoring the comment section, join in! You'll notice that none of those comments address anything substantive, they just spout the usual anti-Obama crap. They count on progressives to see those comments and feel out-numbered.
