Yeah, you didn't have to deal with everyone's opinions, but there was so much less free porn.

The man. The myth. The legend.

The CALM Act alone should get Obama reelected.  That's the single greatest piece of legistation to ever pass through Congress and get approved.

If you didn't see it elsewhere that should be a clue that's it's bullshtein racist propaganda.

Seriously, just read the comments under the article.

It's wingnut city.

So the video is racist propaganda? It looks pretty clear to me that it's a bunch of people beating and robbing one person. I don't see how the comments (that could be made by anyone) makes it a racist propaganda article.

Only thing I'll say is that it probably would have been smarter to just link the YouTube video rather than the article.  I've got no clue who this Alex Jones dude is (should I?) so I couldn't tell you anything about the dude one way or the other.  But when I started to read the article itself it was pretty clear that what the writer's intentions were.  I didn't even finish reading it, just watched the video and called it a day.

I hear ya, I just went back and read the article again though, at no point did the writer even mention anything about race or racism, he talked about the cities and the rural areas both decaying and growing cold.

It's not blatantly obvious but if you read between the lines you get the message that it's sending.  I just tried to read it again because there's a few lines I read that didn't sit well with me but the site is blocked at work so I can't double check it right now.  And that just leads me to believe that if this Alex Jones dude is into some racist then it's no surprise that his site would be blocked.  I'm also sure I just highlighted myself to the gov't too.  Yay, me.

I'll say it again...it doesn't have to be overt to be racism

perhaps you could explain sd's reasons for "disliking" it as well since you seem to be so in tune with other peoples minds

It's obvious to anyone with a functioning cerebellum.

I find it funny that you care about the site where it came from, its not like its a freakin made up story and who gives a rats butt if there are hungry hungry hippos spewing hate in the comment section.  The video shows more proof then any jury would ever need to convict someone, but never mind that.

Neo-nazi websites use films of death camps as proof that the holocaust was a lie.  This clown posted that link to illustrate his belief that whites should be terrified of blacks and used a single act of violence to support that claim.

It's hyperbolic extremist fear-mongering nonsense and all it proves is that particular group of people are iceholes.

WHAT???? are you fargin retarded? what part of the article is racist, what term, or statement is made that is racist? Don't worry I'll wait. You streeeeetch anything to call someone a racist. What is hyperbolic fear-mongering about posting a video where 1 man is beaten and robbed by a group of people? The only iceholes are the criminals that commited a crime against the 1 person and the iceholes that jump to conclusions just cause the website it came from.

It's passive aggressive racism at best, and yes, that is because of the source it's coming from.
