    Sometimes you simply question humanity. This happened to me this morning. I foolishly went to HuffPo to see how they were reacting to the West Fertilizer explosion. I was disgusted by what I saw there. The liberal posters were in full "I told you so" mode and downright giddy over the explosion and the fact that it happened in Texas. It's clear that they hate Texas. Some of the quotes:

    Who gives a crap about what random idiots on the internet say?

    This could and should go in the other thread that already exists.

    Yeah, I know Im wasting my time talking to you, but this was/is unnecessary, adn if it was folks from the other side you would be saying the same thing.

    Most of those aren't really anything hateful towards the state of Texas. I wish you'd used a better thread title.

    Rick Perry is not equal to the state of Texas.

    So Bigtexxx if I can find posts of right wingers on the internet that say stuff life "nuke all of the middle east" or "kill all arabs" (which should be easy to find) can I create a thread that is titled "Conservatives in support of mass genocide."?

    Do you need his permission? Does that even need a thread? Maybe you should add it into the "Typical Racist White Conservative" thread. :eek:

    It's upsetting but there's contrarians and assholes for every topic on the internet.

    Just remember those are the idiots.

    for as many idiots as we get here....they seem like Mensa members when you compare them to most of the people who post comments on other news-type websites.

    Random comments on huffpo? Like shooting fish in a barrel man.

    Quit looking for **** to kick up so soon. Makes you look worse for bringing it up.

    why don't we pull some of the idiotic comments from fox news.

    Seriously - these here aren't even that bad. No one is making fun of anyone's death.

    Trying to paint this as some sort of trait of "liberals" to assert moral superiority is weak and simple-minded.

    So some people are bashing Texas for lax or nonexistent business/safety regulations---basically, for being kinda, I don't know, backward.

    Can't argue with that part.

    Do they even know the actual cause of the accident? It might be a little early to pile on about lax regulations until we know the cause.

    Didn't see anyone mocking the actual deaths.

    However, if we go to any sort of right-wing website and watch the troglodytes pile on the President because it's his fault for what happened in Boston.... :rolleyes:

    A report out this morning says the plant had not had a safety inspection in 5 years.

    thanks for chiming in, at least it will discourage him from finding future blackhairmedia.com reference posts as his sources.

    Exactly. Considering what you post in this forum, texxx, if anyone on another site stumbled upon your countless bizarre posts here, they'd likely carry on to the tune of, "Good God! Look at the kind of insane people who post crap on this site about the Rockets! Incredible. Mad. Crazy. Shocking. Damn Right Wing Loons!"

    Just another day in the life of D&D.

    I wouldn't count on it.

    Seriously, I think it's despicable that they would use innocent lives as a tool to insult Texans, but I could care less what they think of us. We are Texans and damn proud of it. We certainly have issues, but at least we aren't a bankrupt nanny state.
