Look. I'm as partisan as the next guy. Or so i thought.

But i just watched a video on YouTube of Dave Wottle's 800m gold run in 1972.

What does the comment section look like? Well. A few comments on his come from behind style interspersed between dozens of left versus right carping.

WTF is wrong with people

Our country has succumbed to the win at all costs like we have for our college football teams.

We don't care what it takes, just win.

It's sad, but true.

also politics and winning. Truth is but collateral damage in the winds of the spin.

Comments probably come from the welfare bums on their Obama Phones.


Just remember your paying for that.

They're human. Humans are bad people.

Look, the PC era is coming to an end. In many ways the division between left and right is a good thing as it actually confronts the truth.

As government continues to extend it's influence and outright control in ones life, who controls the government becomes hypercritical.

Politics has become as important as food, clothing, and shelter!

Reduce government intrusion equals reduced importance of politics! So what's wrong with people? The Big Brother government we have adopted.

You have to remember that YouTube comments come mostly from young people and foreigners.

You don't know who the person is behind the keyboard.

Young people are brash and argumentative online. You also have young people from Canada, the UK, Russia, etc spreading their politics or anti-American politics in the YouTube comments.

A LOT of the anti-American comments on YouTube videos come from leftists from other countries.


Don't feel bad from YouTube comments.. it's just a bunch of idiots in the comments.

As much as the Prog/leftists despise conservatives, it is conservatives that save them from destroying all of us with their warped ideologies. They should acknowledge that fact and show reference and respect for the sane portion of society, the "Conservatives".

The division started to really ignite after 9/11 when we went to war in Iraq. Despite having Bush as POTUS, this country was pretty united after that event, then it all went to crap when it was realized by the MSM that the war could be used to push a political side (even though almost all of it's members voted to go into said war).

Before I'm blasted, I was supporting the "side" the MSM was pushing at this point in my life, so naturally I had no problem with it.

Couple with many politicians realizing divisive rhetoric could get them elected, and voila!

Now you have protests for anything, violence, and "mocking" is considered "winning" a debate on any subject. Combine all this with the PC/thought police and it is a perfect storm. Not to mention we got Obama, followed up by Trump. Two shite talking POTUSes.

These weren't largely Auntie American comments. Most of these degraded as result of people being offended the announcer referred to The Kenyan runners as Kenyan

You and I both know this well never happen. The delusion is too strong. I do thank God for the Constitutionalists who are keeping us from imploding.

People put shite on the Internet they would never say in person. You can't believe any of it. There is no accountability and these people generally are not influential in real life.
