If I ever want to read hate-filled, stupid (and poorly spelled) comments, I just link to the comments section of any news story. Progressive viewpoints are rarely posted, and when they are, they are usually fairly articulate. On the other hand, knuckle-dragging stupidity and hate fill comment after comment, usually devolving into some version of "I know you are, but what am I?"

This brings stupid legislation to a whole new low.
