Words can't describe.

Here's the intro from that site:

QuoteOn the day longtime U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy passed away, news outlets around the country devoted a considerable amount of time to remembering his career. Fox News reporter Molly Line contributed to one such article posted on foxnews.com.

Like most websites, foxnews.com allows its readers the opportunity to provide feedback about the stories they post.

Below is a sampling of those comments. Be warned - most, if not all of these are not safe for your intellect...

Edit: added quote
We appear to be doomed by our DNA to repeat the same destructive behaviors our forebears have repeated for millenia. If anything our problem solving skills have actually diminished with the advent of technology & our ubiquitous modern conveniences. & yet despite our predisposition towards fear-driven hostility; towards what we anachronistically term primitive behavior another instinct is just as firmly encoded in our make-up. We are capable as our ancestors were of incredible breathtaking acts of kindness. Every hour of every day a man risks his life at a moments notice to save another. Forget for a moment the belligerent benevolent billionaires who grant the unfortunate a crumb of costfree cake. I speak of pure acts of selflessness. A Mother who rushes into the street to save a child from a speeding vehicle. A person who runs into a burning building to reach a family trapped on the upper story. Such actions,such moments,such unconscious selfless decisions,define what it is to be human

Server is apparently bust.

This is why its usually good to quote a few, for prosperity's sake.

I read a few of them when it worked, and it was a variety of "now he'll burn in hell" sentiments.  Lots of ALL CAPS posts.  Hitler references.  The ususal unimaginative schtick. 
Cynicism is a blank check for failure.

HITLER?  They are SO unimaginative.  Swear to gawd.

LMNO

Someone has to tell the GOP about Godwin's Law.

Jenne

What?!  You think they'd listen?  All they hear is the sound of Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh bouncing off the empty chamber between their ears.

One of the greatest ironies of the twenty first century will be how fascism has become a meaningless word at exactly the same time it is starting to make a comeback.

Couldn't sort out worthy quotes. It was all the same neuron-killing rabble you'd expect it to be.


Edit: Sites back up it seems. Try again if you want.

DO NOT KILL THE FUNNY.

First and only warning.  I'll burn this bastard down, I swear to fucking God.

BUT: will they LISTEN?  Lampooning only goes so far with this crowd.  After all, their current bastion of feminine sanctity is Sarah fucking Palin and Peggy fucking Noonan.
