When a Tech Blog goes political

by Infidelesto on March 29, 2008 · Comments

This is pretty entertaining…

TechCrunch is one of the largest Tech blogs out there that specializes in introducing new startups and covering all sorts of web 2.0 companies. What’s interesting too is that this huge community is an obvious mix between conservatives and liberals who love technology, and when you bring up a political topic, you unleash a huge firestorm of debate.

Take this post from Techcrunch:

Read the comments and check out the political unleashing on a community that’s not made for politics.

    Islamers insulted! Lions and Tigers and Brears: OH MY. Have any of you seen the continuous cacaphonie of Islamic slander against the West? It is a childs garden of Islamic Satanic delight. And Western Europe cowers before these savages.

    Islamic theology is simple enough. Planetary dominion over and against popular government. "The Ignorant Masses Are Not To Be Tolerated By Islamic Sharia Authorities." Simply, the word of Islamer authorities takes ALL precedent against lesser persons. Death, of course, being the curative application to recalcitrant citizens.

    These primatives need a dose of reality. In some places that is in fact taking place. These primatives advocate nothing less then human sacrifice. I say this: Islamers who believe these things, bring you scimters for combat, you stupid, prehistoric, savages.

    Interesting observation Infidels...we noticed the same thing earlier in the week prior to Fitna's release when ZDNet pre-determined that Fitna would be reprehensible, racist & hateful...so we asked the author how he was so sure in a blog post at our site and very shortly thereafter he reworded his piece although didn't change his intent much...we also caught Network Solutions stating the reason they were removing Fitna was due to the "history and violence" of the situation...screen shots at:
