I've seen this sort of problem on AOL news; the comments make me die a little inside. The Obamamaniacs are a little annoying, to be fair.
But then...then there are the people who claim Oprah and Obama are trashy because they are both black and cousins (???). There are the people who claim that all serial killers are gay (correction: there's a HUGE difference between pedophiles and gays. In fact, most child abusers I've heard of are straight). There are the people who are praying for Obama to get assassinated; there are the people claiming Obama to be a communist Moslem (one of the biggest oxymorons I've ever heard); there are the people who cheer when there's news of a minority, redneck, or young boy expiring in a gruesome way.
It's pretty damn ugly. That's why I love you guys; you have brains (and a heart). Hug?
