Today on the Fox Nation web site, they posted a story on the popularity of some new videos of a gorilla walking upright like a man. That seems like it should be an innocuous little animal tale with a precocious jungle creature imitating human behavior. But this is Fox Nation we’re talking about.
This is the sort of item that Fox Nation posts fully aware of the dog-whistle effect it will have on its readers: a community of dimwits that is simply incapable of masking the open hostility and racism that is at the core of their putrid souls. Here is a sampling of the comments to be found attached to the article:
1preacher: Yea, I could see where this Gorilla evolved from obama’s family.
amveteran: This is a true knuckle dragger. Reminds me of Al Sharpton.
winterhawk: Just as I thought, that’s buckwheat’s daddy.
flyinjohn23: Not only that….He got himself one of those Hiawian Birth Certificates over the internet all on his own too.
1preacher: Because I said that this was obama’s mother, that is racist? Not following that one.
hawk1052: Shelia Jackson Lee, comes to mind.
armed: is the one in the background carrying a teleprompter and throwing tater tots at the other one.
And if that isn’t bad enough, there were at least 13 comments that the Fox Nationalists “flagged for review.” If the examples above made it past their decency filter, we can only imagine how disgusting were the comments that were removed. And in addition to the overt racism, there was also an abundance of derogatory and idiotic remarks regarding evolution and the intelligence of liberals.
These people are sick and beyond pathetic. And Fox News knows exactly what they are doing by throwing this chum in the tank. This isn’t the first time that Fox Nation’s readers behaved so atrociously. Last year they posted feverishly about how they wished the President were dead.
The bigots at Fox are surely comfortable with this sort of hatred. We learned last summer that only 1.38% of Fox’s audience is African American (compared to about 20% each for CNN and MSNBC). So they probably don’t think they have much to lose by being racist jerkwads. Just their humanity, and they don’t have much of that to begin with.
I have seen similar posts on this site as well. Just the other day you had to remove a post from someone saying something about how they wish the Arizona shooter would have hit Beck, Rush, and Hannity.
Bull. You have not seen anything remotely similar to this on my site. One person saying something stupid is not the same as a pattern of racist statements by multiple people whose racism is applauded by others.
I found a web site recently that highlights the ignorance and lunacy of the Pox crew. It really opened my eyes to just how depraved many of their viewers are. I grew up under segregation, and it would seem that if anyone had a reason to be a racist, it would be me, but thanks to my parents, my siblings and I were not taught to hate. It has made all the difference in my life.

Thanks for that link. It’s great they are archiving the sickness that is the Fox audience.
Actually, that’s not true Mark. I remember seeing comments from some demented photographer in Tennessee talking about how he couldn’t wait to start killing liberals. He’s a shitty photographer too…
Yes Keith the pattern of posting hatred on News Corpse is exactly equivalent to Fox Nation. Terms like “whitey” and “the Man” and “Cracker” are posted by the hundreds here. Which of course makes any racist post at Fox Nation not relevant.
Seriously, I love to see the opinions of different political minds, but is there a single fact that visiting Conservatives can’t twist or logical failure they can’t embrace? It’s embarrassing to read these responses.
So make me proud, Keith: Even if the posters at News Corpse were consistently espousing violence and racism (which is not even close to the case and the single example you gave was deleted) does this mean that the racist posts at News Corp are not ugly and ignorant on their own? And if they are ugly and ignorant (hint: they are) do you have anything to say about that fact?
Gawd this is AWFUL – typical BS form the Mouth Breathers. Thanks for the alert.
Mark,
Jon Stewart was sticking it to Bill O’Reilly Thursday night for just this kind of thing.
“And if that isn’t bad enough, there were at least 13 comments that the Fox Nationalists “flagged for review.” If the examples above made it past their decency filter, we can only imagine how disgusting were the comments that were removed.”
Knowing Fox Nation as I do, I’d say it’s far more likely that the comments flagged for review were people objecting to the comments you showed. If one person there says something racist and someone else calls them on it, the racist comment will get liked and the objection will get flagged. It’s as reliable as sunrise.
