Disgusting Racist, Homophobic Comments Flood Fox News In Wake Of Deadliest Mass Shooting Ever

Rather than facilitating conversation between politically polarized groups, the World Wide Web has become a place where ignorance and hatred thrive on anonymity. Over at the Fox News article on the Orlando gay bar shooting, recently labeled the deadliest mass shooting in American history, the power of fringe-right rhetoric is in full force in the comments section.

“Being denied a wedding cake doesn’t seem so bad now, does it?” wrote one user. “Looks like the gays got a $150,000 cake thrown back in their faces,” writes another. “That is the amount some gays in Oregon extorted from a local bakery.”

Other comments complained about immigrants and endorsed the Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

Probably the same lunatic fringe-right who bomb abortion clinics.
Little surprise that they back the Donald as regards anti-immigrant influx.

I guess it wasn't ignoramus when the first few words leftists mentioned after hear news of the shooting were, "I'll bet a white Christian guy did it.".

Nosiree Bob, that wasn't ignoramus according to leftists.

Even I spontaneously thought that some deranged Evangelical must have done it; as they are full of hatred.
Haters of all sorts are basically the same across religions & races & cultural background.

Point of contention. America's deadliest mass shooting didn't even happen this century (nor the last), much less this week. The massacre at Wounded Knee in 1890 saw over 150 men, women and children killed.

This thing in Orlando is, at best, a distant second.

Personally if I were you, I wouldn't worry so much about "comments" somewhere, I'd worry about the ideology posing as a religion that rountinely kills gays for being gay. I believe you just had some very tangible evidence of that take place on american soil

What, now you're talking about hardcore evangelical Christianity, in Uganda? Good, glad you can admit it has issues too.
