And then I read a story with comments like this to tilt the scales. > **[George Zimmerman gun ad yanked by one website but posted by another](https://www.foxnews.com/us/george-zimmerman-gun-ad-yanked-by-one-website-but-posted-by-another)** > > An online gun auction website yanked George Zimmerman's ad to sell the pistol he used to kill unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin, saying it wanted no part in the deal, but a second site offered to post it. Check out those comments. YOU WIN republicans, you are the most vulgar, death celebrating cretins around. ---

You’re citing a news article sourced at Fox News and you think that there is an even distribution of political affiliation responding to it? Think about it. Put 10,000 Pubbies in a room with 1,000 Demmies and I’m pretty sure the number of stupid comments are going to skew to the conservative side. ---

I don’t think “quantity” was the point of the OP. I haven’t actually read the comments in question, so i could be wrong. ---

You respond to a post commenting on the type of comments a source contains and you think that it is a comment on the quantity? ---

Here’s a link to a Fox news story, read the comments at the bottom, I dare you! Ha-ha! Man, that’s like saying: Here, smell this! ---

> [@raventhief](#): > > I don’t think “quantity” was the point of the OP. I haven’t actually read the comments in question, so i could be wrong. On second glance I agree. ARE the most is not HAVE the most. Gotta practice my “reading for comprehension” skills. ---
