Basically you lifted the rock exposing the right winger's true colors loud and clear, now they are frantically running around mad.

You can make any case you like about those people who posted that stuff, but blaming it on FOX is dishonest.
^^^ this....

the stupidity of some people holding FOX accountable for their peanut gallery of viewers is more scary than anything...

I suspect it has a lot to do with a perceived attempt at bashing "conservatives" while opening the door for liberals to once again play their hopelessly overused race card.

Your hypocrisy is really disturbing.

I definitely agree with you on that last thought.

Every one of these posters are so damn ignorant. They are the most prolific posters on C-D, and they are all just a bunch of ignorant leftists!

What liars!

Sadly, I am always surprised by people's capacity for hatred.
Yeah, sure. You didn't mean to call out Fox News. It's just "some people". No had no idea or intention of starting yet another "let's bash conservatives" thread, despite your posting history being full of bashing conservatives. Total coincidence.

You felt the need to put "by Fox News commenters" in the title of your thread purely out of a desire to be technically accurate, right?

Come on.

The comments made on Fox's videos and articles online are no more representative of their viewers than certain ****posters here on CD are representative of the population of people using CD.
Amen!

Shall we make a list here of the C-D posters that fit this? I would probably have a "Infraction" filed. I would love to. But, we know who they are.

One of the worst ones on here apparently does not like New York City much.

I would not put it past left wing low lifes to be the ones posting those hateful comments, just to make Fox News--and conservatives--look bad. Reading through only a few of those comments and from the language used, they could all well be from a single poster--the language is very similar.

That is just plain strange then. I just turned on Fox because of you, and they were paying tribute to her, talking about what a great loss and what a talent she is. They also went to her hometown, and to her church, and the women interviewer from fox was really moved.

You cannot blame fox, no more then MSNBC last night i was reading comments, and they were not so nice, no one can control a person's thought, and Fox no more then MSNBC OR CNN or any of the other news outlets should be responsbile for what someone puts on an internet site.

I read some not so nice things about her, on the front page last night, comments of what people thought, can't control what people think. And lo and behold, it was not Fox.

And there one was CD poster, who did not say the greatest things about her, how can you control what others think, you can't.

Fox would not bother going to her hometown, if they were going to sit here and talk bad about her, someone starting a lot of nothing.

Some of the comments from my MSN homepage las nite were not exactly nice either, i am not going to hold MSN responsible for what others think about the passing of Whitney, that is not MSN'S fault any more then how Fox can control what idiots think.
