I have noticed it to. Sometimes it looks like a KKK convention over there. I hope that it is a bunch of stupid teens looking to fool people and not hate filled.

I once heard an interesting stat on the radio. Nearly 40% of the people caught making anonymous racist/bigoted speech belong to the group that the speech denigrates.

Yahoo! attracts a lot of creeps for some reason. Have you ever read a sex article on that site? Tons of comments from Indians, Africans, and Middle Eastern men saying things like, "I am looking for sexy wife to do this to." LOL

omg! Celebrity gossip, news photos, babies, couples, hotties, and more - omg! from Yahoo!

Has anyone else noticed this phenomenon?
A bunch of them are probably members on here.

I think a lot of the posters there are socks, the same person with many screen names. it seems like an orchestrated effort. every once in a while you can connect the racism directly to posts on storm front. just keep in mind that these people post this hatred because they are powerless in real life. don't take it to heart.

On Yahoo, you can make as many email accounts as you want and post under each of them, whereas most message boards ban you if you use mults and sock puppets. Someone with no life can give themselves 30 thumbs up, thats usually what those weird bigots do.

I noticed a strange thing: The main comments that have the most thumbs up on there are always right wing but the responses to those comments that get the most thumbs up are generally left leaning. That suggests that right wing mults are putting all their effort into just propping up the main comments.

try to generate division, you mean just like the Obama administration does?
