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.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

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:<\/p>\n

1preacher:<\/strong> Yea, I could see where this Gorilla evolved from obama’s family.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

amveteran:<\/strong> This is a true knuckle dragger. Reminds me of Al Sharpton.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

winterhawk:<\/strong> Just as I thought, that’s buckwheat’s daddy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

flyinjohn23:<\/strong> Not only that….He got himself one of those Hiawian Birth Certificates over the internet all on his own too.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

1preacher:<\/strong> Because I said that this was obama’s mother, that is racist? Not following that one.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

hawk1052:<\/strong> Shelia Jackson Lee, comes to mind.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

armed:<\/strong> is the one in the background carrying a teleprompter and throwing tater tots at the other one.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And if that isn’t bad enough, there were at least 13 comments that the Fox Nationalists “flagged for review.”<\/em> 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.<\/p>\n

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<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The bigots at Fox are surely comfortable with this sort of hatred. We learned last summer that only 1.38% of Fox’s audience<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
