When Stepping into a Cow Pasture...
...be prepared to step into your fair share of turds. Because as sure as cow pastures attract cow shit and as sure as cow shit attracts flies and maggots, there will always be right wing trolls who seek to exploit senseless tragedies such as the Brookfield Sq. Mall to make liberals and people of color look bad. What follows are some of the comments I've collected from the seedier side of the tracks while the situation was still fluid and tactical (as it is as I write this). Keep in mind that this isn't an all-inclusive list but just the worst ones I've found thus far. Don't forget, people, these lunatics also have the right to vote. (Editor's note: I hope this results in at least a few donations or that at the very least you guys tell me you appreciate me doing this. Because going into a place like FreeperLand is like jumping into a sewer without hip waders.)
This is the very first response that came up when the freepers finally got around to reporting on the mall shooting:
Yeah, sport, because this is exactly what God would've wanted. Let's continue:
When in doubt, blame the liberal lesbian.
Ah, Affirmative Action, the reverse racist program that gives a free pass to black people who murder whites. "But, but... OJ!"
Now, there's an enterprising Freeper: Exploiting two senseless tragedies to make black people look bad! Well played, my little flying monkey, well played. Have a banana.
Now, Freeper tying this to the Obama campaign in 3... 2... 1...
Seenario wit Mooslims. Dayam that trims mah mullet!
Hell yeah! Because the last thing we need is a president who, uh, has hardly put the words "gun" and "control" together in nearly four years.
Aw! How courageous of this person, to put aside their grief over the shooting of people they'll never meet or know to put a humorous smiley face on it!
Wow. Kudos to this brave patriot for not actually blaming Sasha and Malia.
Uh, yeah. Like the wouldbe Tides Foundation shooter who was found with Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity books in his car?
I was wondering how long it would take Pam Gellar to weigh in from the peanut gallery.
I guess that one was from Rep. Peter King. (Editor's note: "Allahu ahkbar" is Arabic for, "Praise the Lord and pass the Ammunition!")
Now, keep in mind these were culled just from the one page of comments from the latest thread and the first 50 comments on the first page of the first thread concerning Brookfield from just one site. At that time there were 124 others to wade through and even your progressive porcine can stand only so much.
Now, let's see what kinda fans Fox6 attracts:
Maybe we'll get saner comments from Fox News Insider's live chat room to get... Oh dear...
How about ZeroHedge?
Wow. They made it easy for me. Contiguous craziness.
Oddly enough, Pajamas Media, Michelle Malkin, Red State and many of the other usual suspects are mum on this story. And maybe that's the way it ought to be.
And those are just 20 of the craziest ones that I've found after just a half hour of searching.

I do appreciate knowing about the crazy and not having to view it all first hand (I stopped accepting contact from my family for much the same reason, as I'm sure you figured out).
Just thought I'd mention that this particular shooter had a history of violence, had a restraining order out against him, was required by the courts to turn in his firearms, and had previously committed acts of violence and domestic abuse against the target of this latest assault (the woman he claims to have loved so much he just had to kill her...).
The nearly continuous spouting of hate and encouragement of hatred seems to be at the root of the problem here as much as anything else I've heard lately. As a society, we don't teach our offspring to actually love (y'know, where another person's happiness and welfare are more important to you than your own...), but we go to extreme lengths to teach hate.
I fear we may have passed the point of no return to anything approaching a sane society.
Yeah, I know. I read up on his background. But none of those actions had anything to do with race or political motivation. Try telling that to our fine, flying primate friends on the seedier side of the tracks.
