... there was no photo - and the text was also altered after-the fact. I guess the RECS weren't coming fast enough without the usual shit-stirring being added.

I stand to be corrected, but didn't the author of that OP once state that he wished McCain had won instead of Obama - ya know, John "Bomb-bomb" McCain? And now he's posting despicable bullshit about HRC's warmongering tendencies?

That OP is beneath contempt - but I've come to expect that kind of thing here. And it seems the more vile the OP, the faster and higher it ends up on the Greatest Page.

I always knew that once Hill's campaign was in full gear and the polls started showing her unmistakable lead, the attacks would become more fast and furious. But even I didn't envision how low some people would sink in their desperation.

Well, I was wrong - and sadly so. It looks like no gutter is too deep for some posters to eschew wallowing in.
