I don’t know anything about who runs Hot Air, or any of the other sites that are mentioned here. But there are only three things that the site owner of Hot Air can possibly do considering the fact that the site evidently has become a breeding ground of obscene and fully racist commenters.

1) Start policing his site and delete these kinds of comments.
2) Make a plain and simple rule about posting this sort of trash.
3) Or shut the site down.

It’s really simple. If he/she cannot fails to do this, then there is only one assumption left, that the owner condones this sort of thinking.

This has nothing to do with freedom of speech. I would remove anyone from my home if they talked like this, the owner of Hot Air can remove these comments. If the owner of Hot Air does not agree with this sort of rhetoric, then the options are clear and defined.

Stop it or shut it down.
