I’ve known FR to be a very civil place, and things like this are not common at all. In fact, I’ve only seen it maybe once or twice.

Please. This racist crap shows up on nearly every thread concerning the Obamas, particularly Michelle and particularly the "Caption This!" threads. It's ubiquitous these days on FR and has no doubt chased many people away (maybe rightly so).

Name names. Cite the threads and quote the comments "on nearly every thread concerning the Obamas."

You made the charge. Back it up, or slither on back to DU/KOS.

Perhaps, but a lot of these idiotic racist comments probably come from leftists posing as FReepers. Because every legitimate FReeper knows and understands that there are 100s of thousands of hardworking, patriotic Black Americans across the nation, many honorably serving in our military.

Where? I’m not the most active poster but I certainly do read quite a bit here and I’ve seen no such examples.

If you make such a charge, you had better be able to back it up. A cute response (Obama-like, I might add) like “Pay attention, sweetheart” might make you feel good but it does absolutely nothing to prove your argument. I’d like to see a documented list of comments and posters to support this. I know that no such list exists; the mere fact that MSNBC is covering a pulled thread should make this plainly obvious. (Don’t be so naive as to think leftist trolls aren’t crawling this place daily looking for such things.)

I do avoid most Obama threads if I am browsing at lunch, because I don’t know what monitoring my employer might do.

I don’t remember it being this way in the past.

I think you are a fly under the radar troll. You never miss a chance to degrade FR and stick up for them.
