INTRODUCTION: Here we go again. Although this is not an instance in which HuffPost approved one or more of its raging leftists to explicitly threaten to murder/urge violence against others (as in cases here and here), the implication is abundantly clear.
This is also a case study in how:
- HuffPost's misleading headlines foment this kind of rage, which apparently drove one of its long-term raging leftists, "BlueStateMan," to a complete meltdown (a short drive)
- HuffPost ignores its own comment moderation policies when it comes to facilitating its resident raging leftists, no matter what they do --- whereas non-leftists meet swift bannings for far lesser "offenses"
- Even a casual review of this user's (suicidal*) profile and comment archive would indicate that this is a deeply disturbed individual --- yet HuffPost has facilitated him for more than three years (*see end of thread)
"...submit material that is unlawful, obscene, defamatory, libelous, threatening, pornographic, harassing, hateful, racially or ethnically offensive, or encourages conduct that would be considered a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, violate any law, or is otherwise inappropriate"And yet, HuffPost not only approved the following implicitly-threatening rant, at the time of this writing --- 24 hours later --- it is still published (check here to see if it's still up when you read this).
CONTEXT: On April 28, HuffPost had a splash headline on its front page, which implied that Republicans were "blocking" Obama's appointment of Gov. Sebelius to HHS (sorry, no screen capture available).
The fact is that Republicans can't block anything; all they can do is threaten to filibuster, which is merely a delaying tactic. The Democrats have a large majority in the Senate (and an even larger one in the House), and as such, they can do and pass whatever they want.
The headline link led to this story thread: Top 15 Health Jobs Remain Open As Untested Pandemic Response Plan Implemented.
And it was on this top thread that HuffPost allowed "BlueStateMan" to engage in what was apparently his latest* meltdown (*more below):

The republicans NEVER gave a goodgoddamn about human life & they never WILL.
LOOK how they were willing to sacrifice HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of lives in Iraq... just for MONEY.
LOOK how they are willing to let MILLIONS starve in THIS country & abroad.. just for MONEY.
LOOK how they were willing to TORTURE & throw away our nations HONOR... just for MONEY.
LOOK how they are willing to let to allow a disease run rampant.. just to satisfy their PETULANT desire to hobble President Obama.
These "people" ARE the disease... & we need to wipe them OUT to survive.

As noted earlier, the Democrats already have big majorities in both houses of Congress. The Republicans cannot do anything substantive to stop Democrats at this point. And as an obsessive HuffPost user, "BlueStateMan" is well aware of this fact.
So what could he mean by the need to "wipe out" Republicans, whom he defines as "a disease"?
Viewed in isolation, and without having seen the prevalent, explicit threats that HuffPost permits his fellow raging leftists to "publish" on its site (here and here, and lots of other examples coming in the near future), this would not seem so serious. But it's important to keep in mind that this is far from an isolated incident.
In fact, HuffPost has facilitated "BlueStateMan" under the same screen name for more than three years, to the tune of more than 22,000 comments, as is shown on his comment archive, below:
So what other thoughtful, policy-compliant contributions has HuffPost approved "BlueStateMan" to make to its "environment" in the recent past?
Take a look at the following, directly from his comment archive --- all of which HuffPost reviewed, approved and published over the past 24 hours alone:
You ARE nothing. You HAVE nothing. I'm THROUGH beatting the schidt out of you. You BORE me, little one. Prattle on... I've better things to do than ABUSE you further.

Milk & cookies by your sides... & a dogeared copy of "Mein Kampf" on your nightstands... nestled on the souvenir handkerchiefs that you got when your daddies took you to visit Howard Johnsons. You earn a living by stuffing envelopes for direct-mail promoters... looking forward to the BONANZA season when you get to work for Publishers Clearinghouse.

What kind of individual says such things?
Well, had HuffPost ever ventured to take a quick peek at his user profile, it might have detected that perhaps it has a little problem on its hands...
Bio: "I wish I could just commit suicide already so I can get on with my life."
But far more important questions are:
- What kind of website would knowingly "publish" the rantings of such an individual, for more than three years?
- And... why? Is it really all just to increase its page-views (which is what HuffPost's ad revenue is based on?)
