Fox Nation posted a respectful article about Nelson Mandela’s death – and many of their readers responded in kind. But many erupted in such shocking racism and/or death-wishing hatred for President Obama that words fail us. You really need to see them for yourself. (H/T Andrew S.) UPDATED
This is what passes for "tolerance" and "civil discourse" on Fox Nation:
UPDATE: Apparently, Fox is embarrassed enough by their own readers that they have now removed the comments section along with the previously existing comments.

@sal Cicio: When I was collecting the grabs that are mine on this, I also had the following sites on in other windows: Breitbart, Newsbusters, The Blaze, and threads for Hannity, Limbaugh, and O’Reilly.
All of them were off the charts, they actually made Fox Nation look within spitting distance of it’s tagline in comparison.
But, to be fair… Most of the Fox Nation posters who put up garbage like this were on a thread about a black councilwoman that “had the nerve” to say most of the people who were victims of the “Knockout Game” in her district weren’t white, they were Jewish, and they look too… middle easterny for certain people who had become a problem with how they react to looking middle eastern. Apparently, her saying that was the dominant choice in victims for her district was offensive enough to put going after Mandela on hold with this crowd.
Which is good, because tell me we needed a pile on with what the ones who did move on to this one put out.

@antoinette AMEN. And furthermore, may I suggest that every THINKING person who posts here start doing what I’ve already started: giving EVERY SINGLE Fox “News” Channel showing establishment you do business with the following ultimatum:
“LOSE FOX NEWS CHANNEL OR YOU’LL LOSE MY BUSINESS!”
Always remember: $$$$ TALKS — BULLS**T WALKS!
“LOSE FOX NEWS CHANNEL OR YOU’LL LOSE MY BUSINESS!”
Always remember: $$$$ TALKS — BULLS**T WALKS!

Not surprising but still shocking.
