Think FR is bad? Click "Discuss" at the bottom of any Yahoo News article.
Holy dogshit. There are some Bushbots out there who are literally mentally ill.

I don't mean that in any sort of joking, lighthearted way.

Here's a good one to start with:

http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20060313/ap_on_go_co/feingold_censure_1

Scroll to the bottom and hit the "Discuss" link. It's psychotic.

1. You don't have to be a physician to know they're disturbed.

5. I'm a regular poster on Yahoo news boards
It's great! I love the Bushbot psychosis! Very entertaining! I also like that it's un-moderated. You can get the real mindset of Americans on Yahoo since everybody is anonymous. I believe America is just as racist today as during the 1950s. It's just that white people keep the racism to themselves, but on the internet it's all over the place since everyone is anonymous. Again, the REAL mindset of average Americans can be found on Yahoo, imho. Very interesting.

6. Yeah, in a strange way I kinda dig the uncensored aspect too.
It's like a window into what they really want to say, but only do so when they think they're anonymous.

But on the other hand, it's frustrating seeing the same guy argue over and over that Feingold is helping terrorists. And each time explaining how FISA warrants do not interfere with investigations and how no one is opposed to the surveillance...then seeing that guy post the same stupid point three seconds later.

Really, it's like they are retarded.

14. I think Yahoo discussion boards are for the people who are too right
even for FR.

Even the financial boards are ripe with these idiots.

16. Check out the Yahoo Cisco Board
Wow! LOL!

http://finance.yahoo.com/q/mb?s=CSCO

But I do believe Yahoo boards are mostly liberal, not conservative -- even if the busbots are everywhere.

17. yahoo boards are stupid.
A complete and utter waste of time. Most of the posts are flamebait from a few bored trolls. I doubt most of the "neo-cons" are interested in news or politics at all, less so than a typical freeper anyway. Most seem to be pre-teens with low-average IQs who think it's funny to use the N word and say "FAG LIBS" in all caps. Dumb.

19. Heh, yeah. Lots of them have been bitten by the ALL CAPS bug.
It's as if they just discovered the internets last weekend.

22. One of them justified why they type in ALL CAPS...
...he said, "I HAVE TO TYPE IN ALL CAPS SO THE FAG LIBS CAN SEE BECAUSE THEY ARE GOING BLIND FROM THE AIDS IN THEIR ASSES."

Mental juggernauts, all of them.

23. silly me
I thought he used the "caps lock" key because using the shift key for capitalization is such a challenge for one-handed typists who spend so much time thinking about anal sex...

26. Lots of Innernets newcomers apparently.
Strange, I would have thought that people would have gotten accustomed to netiquette within the first decade.
