American freepers, teabaggers, & racists now posting on European news sites regarding Obama.

I was reading some of the articles from over there about Obama's visit. In many cases, the comments section following the article has more than a few really nasty comments from Americans. I know that there are thousands of these clowns posting on US news sites, even sports sites, but I didn't realize they had gone global. Here is one example. Check out the comments below the article.

2. It's been happening for years

The Telegraph, Mail, even the Guardian's Comment Is Free sites have had RW trolls swarming them since as long as I can remember. Not clear whether it's an organized campaign or just a bunch of people with too much time on their hands.

3. And a lot of those people are paid to do that.

4. They must be paid trolls with directions to the site.

The average Freeper or LGFer couldn't find those sites in ten years without a URL and they'd probably whine about them spelling "colour" the wrong way. Though they seem to have spelling problems of their own...
