Youtube is crawling with whiny manboys that masturbate over Ann Coulter and claim that liberals are fascists trying to destroy America. It looks like Shitheel Republic over there! Yuck! there's so much stupidity that I think a stupidity singularity will form and Youtube will collapse on itself.

1. When you're part of a minority...
Like the 28% who still approve of George Bush's performance, you hang together and get very loud. They make sure they get noticed, but they are a minority.

2. Unfortunately they're not a minority in their comments
If only they were proportional...

3. I think you need to spend more than a few minutes there
in order to understand what youtube is about.
In my experience (been there for a couple of months) it is not "Shitheel Republic".

4. No, I think you're missing my point - my fault
Edited on Sat Mar-10-07 10:36 AM by EstimatedProphet
I know what Youtube is about, however, if you make the mistake of filtering it with some politically "charged" words, it brings up an entire wealth of videos from people that the average person wouldn't see. Because I used that word, I ended up with a selection of videos from disgusting inbred sixtoed flubs. Frankly, I should have known better than to do a search on "liberal" anywhere, because that will bring up screaming hordes of fascists wherever that search is performed. But I was trying to find the Obey video, and for some reason it isn't referenced by "Obey" by the people who put up the video. Go figure.

My post originally made it sound like I thought that's all there was there, but that's not what I was getting at. My fault for not being clear.

9. Yep.
They even misuse the term as their counterparts who engage in hate speech.

6. Makes sense in a way,
that you don't find much pro-liberal material under the tag "liberal".

Guess what you find when you search for "neocon". Not much pro-neocon material.

7. Came as a shock, though
Especially all the vehemence. There was one guy talking about basically going to war with liberals.

8. The likes of Coulter and O'Reily do have a following
It's not a surprise to me.
