and made his life a living hell.

JMHO. A nasty comment like that should have a karma hit back 5x.

For some, that true self is really, really ugly.

Including you and me. Someone should report that asshole to the Secret Service.

They feel anonymous. They're not, but the illusion allows them to say things many would never say face to face to another person.

Beau nor the Biden family deserves such a horrid remark. Dear God, what a horrible thing to say.

If only the moderators at Fox News were as efficient as MIRT.

Fox is evil.

It's sad and pathetic. Just think of the number of lives Fox has filled with bitterness and hatred.

The really sad fact is I'm not surprised. I went to a video on YouTube about the death of Kara Kennedy and there was vile crap there as well. Whether you want it to or not, that kind of negativity and hatred stays with you and eats at you inside.

People post comments about the music and musicians and some are so vile. There are a lot of unhinged people out there.

We have most certainly coarsened as a society.

I'm not going into that cesspool to check it out, though.

These are the same people who rush to defend the Duggars and view Josh as a hero and good Christian Soldier.

and unregulated. Becuase of some very specific folks I am to the exact other extreme and I approve every post manually.

This is not Fox doing, this is their viewers, and as somebody noted above, it is not even the NSA... IP addresses are left like bird droppings, as well at times as email addresses.

This is definitely true - the comment sections are the scourge of the internet. A lot of sites do leave their comments section unmoderated, and a lot of posters post from VPN (virtual private network) which makes the source of the poster not as easily traceable as if they were posting from a traditional IP. It wouldn't surprise me if people making comments that ugly and hateful comments are hiding behind VPNs as opposed to IPs, but at the same time like I said in another post no one is completely anonymous. If the NSA or Secret Service wanted to trace the IP or VPN they can easily do so.

I recently did "ban" a few using IPs... the software is automating them living in the spam folder. So I don't have to read their crap, and take out the trash manually.

Poster on USA Today calls Beau Biden a "leech" for getting treatment at Walter Reed.

I like to think that a lot of these people are trolls trying to get a rise out of people because I can't bear to think that these opinions are honestly held.

Not every story needs to be open to comments from the Ignorant Peanut Gallery.

Saw it while at the gym...go to the NY Times, it's a minor article...I guess the shitheads at the Gray lady are worried again about being biased...
