- Spindig, on 11/06/2009, -10/+38They look like digg comments.
- Landthatilove, on 11/06/2009, -10/+33They're not just idiots. A lot of them are educated idiots.
- tomasII, on 11/06/2009, -10/+29It is hard to believe that people this vile are allowed to walk around loose.
- darkism, on 11/07/2009, -16/+23"Stop the ACLU" ?
Yea, those pesky civil liberties MUST BE STOPPED!
Bury this trash. - Homet, on 11/07/2009, -6/+13Yeah so before everyone judges Daily Kos maybe they should read this diary which acknowledges the vileness of those comments.
http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2009/11/5/2332/8 ...
People are people are people. Doesn't matter if they are liberal or conservative. We are all highly flawed and are capable of saying really dumb *****, especially on the internet.
By the way...a lot of those comments were hidden (dugg down) and the above diary was recommended and could be linked from the front page. - bobburn1, on 11/07/2009, -8/+13Dugg, but not for the site. I'm just surprised this isn't from the DailyKos founders themselves.
- edville, on 11/08/2009, -1/+6DailyKos = Wingnuts
- Gumbos, on 11/07/2009, -11/+15Wow... I'm amazed this is on the front page and can't wait for you first 4 comments to be buried. I just read every 'vile' quotation on that and found offense with maybe 10% of it, as most people should. What the hell is wrong with:
# Molotov: idiots. you teach people to kill without remorse, then act surprised when they do.
# primarydoc: and we have to consider the selective disclosure/spin from the military if it turns out that the reason for the shooting might undermine our “noble” wars, as in the case of Pat Tillman or Jessica Lynch
# Alien Abductee: Maybe he’s just seen too much destruction of the mental health of his fellow soldiers and finally snapped himself.
Do you crazy right wing nuts REALLY find offense with this post??
# MillieNeon: I just hope this doesn’t come with a huge Muslim backlash, or kick Muslims out of the military, etc.
How very say for the people who lost their lives, their families, for the moderate Muslim who already have so much difficulty in this country right now.
And my heart really goes out to all the soldiers with PTSD. They need much more support and treatment. It’s immoral to bring people back from war and leave them in psychological torture chambers.
Also, I think we should re-examine soldier training. They are taught to de-humanize the enemy so they can kill easier. How do you “undo” that? What are we doing to these poor soldiers?
These comments are nowhere near as ugly as the comments on ar15, stormfront and freerepublic making blanket comments about Islam and how Muslims need to be deported and other such racism... compared to ignorance and bigotry this event has unleashed on conservative forums a few liberals with their heads in the clouds is nothing. - Brassbud, on 11/07/2009, -9/+12The ACLU is much more interested in their political power than they are your civil liberties.
- ajwinder, on 11/07/2009, -8/+11In the same week that people went out, in person, to sit on the steps of the Capitol with signs comparing legislation to the Holocaust, displaying mass graves of murdered Jews, now you want to get pissy over some mildly-offensive anonymous internet postings?
No. No. No. You've spent any moral capital you once had, and now, you're the last people in this country who should be talking. The fact that this lives on such an ignorantly-named website is just so...expectable.
EDIT: And of all those combined, 22 total recommendations to those comments. I could find, in the span of a minute, absolutely insulting, ignorant, racist comments on Digg that EACH had over 22 total digg-ups. And yet, thats their news story. That's whats important. Give me a goddamn break. - OsceneInTx, on 11/07/2009, -3/+6Well, judging by the track record of republicans outed for sleeping with interns, pages, choir boys, etc. I frankly don't know HOW you could be surprised. Half the Republican party has repressed so much of their gay tendencies, that they try really really hard to 'look' the straight part, only to combust at the first opportunity.
Freud was right. - LinuxLiberty, on 11/07/2009, -5/+8I generally agree with the first comment.
- OsceneInTx, on 11/07/2009, -3/+5wow, you got me there man.
I don't speak stupid, sorry. - OsceneInTx, on 11/07/2009, -3/+5Actually, that political power is the only thing that finally wrestled away a good chunk of civil liberties that were denied a whole segment of our population that isn't White Anglo Saxon Protestant...and along with the other groups that constantly keep pressure on the Elite, it's the only thinking keeping it that way too. Much rather they have a little political clout, than be owned by the wealthy.
- CaptCarrot, on 11/08/2009, -0/+2The ACLU: The only group whose acronym describes what they don't have.
- OsceneInTx, on 11/07/2009, -4/+5Well, unfortunately the news is a for-profit enterprise nowadays, whether it claims to be non-profit or not - you all would throw a fit if the government tried to make them accountable to 'we the people' by letting us pay for the news rather than advertisers - and then you complain that they don't delete controversy because, oh- boohop, there trying to get that money to stay in existence, oh boo hoo.
Get a life. - Temlakos, on 11/07/2009, -3/+4Why don't you get a life, OsceneinTx? You're proposing that all news come from government organs. You'd love that, wouldn't you? You're not my editor, and if I have anything to say about it--and I will, every time I vote--you never will be.
- OsceneInTx, on 11/07/2009, -9/+10Stories and comments like this digg submission and the first few comments are why you idiots are down to 20% of America identifying themselves as Republicans. It's quite obvious that you have no ***** clue. The ignorance is quite honestly astounding. Out of those comments, I agree with the other guy - maybe 10% had any sort of nastiness to it. The rest were very reasonable, honest, and fitting comments to be made about a horrible situation for everyone involved. Don't you forget that the shooter himself was a Soldier of the very Army you are supposedly defending. Until you know the FACTS, why don't you just STFU, and let the adults figure this one out. Emotional outburts don't produce anything but more ignorance and violence.
PS. How obvious that you idiots rigged this submission. Front page at 81 diggs, and ONLY 4 ***** COMMENTS? Wow. Quit circle-jerking each other and have a meaningful debate. - OsceneInTx, on 11/07/2009, -5/+6Yes. Blast your fellow Americans right out of existence! That's the spirit!
No wonder the Right is done. You fantasize about killing your fellow Americans. Tell me: How are you better than this soldier - doesn't the bible equate thinking an action equivalent to doing?
Oh, wait, that's right. You only beleive your 'morals' and code of conduct when its convinient, i forgot. /s - OsceneInTx, on 11/07/2009, -4/+4He was still trained as a soldier, and from what has been released - was going on tour again, to fight a war that probably would have been over by now if our Jackass ex-president hadn't gone into Iraq to secure all that oil. =
Not saying that what he did was right, or acceptable in any fashion. but it's not like they hadn't already been made aware about his troubling thoughts and comments on the war. It's a tragedy for the whole nation, and my sympathy goes out to ALL american soldiers involved, not just the non-muslim ones. - rpgmakr, on 11/07/2009, -5/+4Please elaborate. Show where the ACLU hasn't stood up to protect civil liberties and the constitution.
See? This is why we all know that you neocons are full of *****. Talking about protecting your civil liberties, the rule of law and "taking your country back" but what does it take for you to hate an organisation that protect your civil liberties? The organisation continuously showed how the president that you supported VIOLATED THE LAW and undermined the civil liberties of all americans. In other words, partisanship, that's all it takes. - 17999, on 11/07/2009, -12/+10If DailyKos were a planet, the appropriate measure at this point would be to stand off and nuke it from orbit.
- 17999, on 11/07/2009, -4/+2Wharrrrrgarbl!
- CapnSlam, on 11/07/2009, -9/+7Stop the ACLU
- swagv, on 11/07/2009, -12/+913 people are dead, and we're supposed to get in a circle jerk over blog comments.
Nice priorities there, pal. - Temlakos, on 11/07/2009, -8/+4Let me tell you something, pal. When I get anything remotely as vile submitted on one of my Examiner articles, I don't keep it around for other people to see. I delete it! Yeah, sure, sure, Markos is boo-hoo-ing about how vile the comments are. Boo-hoo-ing all the way to the SEO bank!
Homet, I have a partnership stake in a bridge spanning the East River that I would like to offer for sale. - ANormalGuy, on 11/07/2009, -4/+0Notice the statement(s) in the first paragraph: "Rather than ... waiting to find out all the facts, ... they’re making up their own facts and motives". Then notice their *next* story is titled "Fort Hood was a jihadist attack" !!?
No Wing Nuts at that web site! - tao52nyc, on 11/07/2009, -6/+2And here I thought they were going to call for gun bans again....on a military base.
- ANormalGuy, on 11/07/2009, -5/+1Brassbud, there seems to be typo(s) in your comment: substitute "Republicans are" for "ACLU is" and the substitute "the interests of the US" for "your civil liberties".
Now you've got it! - buckrogers1965, on 11/07/2009, -9/+3Buried. Comments are nothing compared to 99% of comments on most right wing sites.
- vibr8, on 11/07/2009, -7/+0roffle
- Kettek, on 11/07/2009, -8/+1Far left liberals
Far right conservatives
Both of you, go away and die. Your tunnel vision will ruin this country. - EnforcerErik, on 11/07/2009, -14/+4Yea...so these comments are really not that bad considering they are just comments on a story from random people, not official news or anything.
Stop spamming digg with all of this trash - thelastdallas, on 11/07/2009, -12/+0I just saw an add for same-sex marriage equality on their site ....I thought it was a conservative site .... haha
