HuffPoWatch: Imri Olmert Punches Reporter, Knocks Him Unconscious

So I already wrote about this article briefly yesterday, but since then quite a few anti-Semitic and otherwise hateful comments have popped up in the unmoderated thread from the talkbacks. Seeing as how this was hardly a newsworthy event, I can't help but wonder if someone on the HP was trying to stir up more anti-Israel feelings. If so, they certainly succeeded. Let's get going.


UPDATE: All of these remarks have now been removed from the talkback thread. Cheers to the moderators! However, the fact that we could still see them for quite a while tells us volumes about the mindset of some of the Huffington Post readership.

Whiny ziovermin. Go rub one out to fantasies about bulldozing Pal..e..st­in..ian children, you'll feel better.

ALL, without exception, Israeli leaders have been crooks, fanatics, terrorists, and war criminats, including their families. No surprises here. Olmert and family are just the latest.

Of course it is BIG NEWS. We should know more about these crooks and swindlers who have been and are Israeli leaders. Why do you get upset? Want total censorship on them?

One evil does not cover up the other, worse evil. You just cannot tolerate news of the corruption and criminality of Israeli leaders, past and present and that is YOUR problem. Tough! [One-note troll. This comment remains when the rest were deleted.]

Oh Israel, only you guys could make the US look like Shangra La. [If this isn't clear-cut racism, I haven't seen it yet!]

Oh Cuthbert, usually trying to evict an entire ethnic group from their land would be considered r.acist, but when you're talking about Israel, it's a virtue.
