I am shocked at the inane, insensitive comments posted on JU about the upcoming election. Here are some of the things that irk me:
Many bloggers (and you know who), seem to to relate Obama with a certain Mr Ayers. Like old gossip-knitters terms proceed from Ayers to activists to terrorists. Ridiculous assumptions are made, stupid accusations spread and 1,2,3 Barack is hiding in the same cave as Bin Laden.
I do not include all JU bloggers in my condemnation but I do include some who I thought were wiser. Here's a sample ("One thing to concider(sic), McCain would never intentionally harm America where as (sic) Obama would sell us out to the highest bidder." This comment is inflammatory, uninformed and defamatory. What proof exists for this comment? It is definitely not written in jest. On the other hand, I apologise if it was written by a twelve year old!
There are other examples--read unitiated. I'm just sick of people coming to conclusions they've never thought about at all.
I realise this is a free forum as it should be, and comments can be as open as necessary but surely we can put some intelligent thought into our comments (humor always welcome, of course).
I will not delve into the election but be prepared for the "Sell-out" man to win!
