Karl Rove

Not a single person bought Karl Rove's interview. He is a narcissistic, manipulative political strategist who most say will do or say anything to get votes. Yahoo! users clearly agree as not one user showed support of Rove.
Some comments expressed extreme dislike for his flip-flop tactics. "Rove 'could imagine' making more money off a badly run campaign while generating loss after loss," Joel said. "Absolutely no moral compass. You're fired, you pantywaist jerk."

Others just pointed out what they believed as his true incentive behind the interview. "Take this like you will, but it sound [sic] like Rove is sucking up to the homosexual vote!" John said. "He's looking for votes," Goose Down said. "Principle is not important."
Clearly, Rove is pushing some buttons with his inconsistencies. But to his defense, is there a political strategist that doesn't sacrifice parts of their beliefs in order to push the rest of their agenda?
Some people seem to optimistic for these types of roles. "If you truly support gay marriage because of how you feel in your heart, that's great," said Jim. "If you give lip service just to garner votes to save your political career, then man up and say that."
Obviously, Jim isn't imagining himself in the Rove's shoes. Obviously if Rove came out and told everyone he is only saying this to garner votes, he would offend and disgust everyone whose votes he is aiming to obtain.
Then there are the comments that aim to offend either other users or the subject of an article. "Rove has tried for years to cover up the fact that he is GAY," 0317 said.

Nazi Solute Goal Celebration

When the news itself proves to be awkward, people come up with some pretty funny responses. People had a lot to say about Giorgos Katidis, a Greek soccer player, who Greece banned from its team after he apparently celebrated a goal by participating in a Nazi solute. Even worse, he told the media pointed to a friend in the stands, and that he didn't even know what the sign meant.
Nevertheless, possibly the same user, Mike, that cracked the joke on Franco three weeks ago delivered another successful joke in just another yahoo! comment. "So Hitler was in the stands?" he said.
Many jokes came storming in the comments section, including some good sarcasm, "That's how i usually point too, with four fingers together,"user No Name said.
"He was looking for his son.... has anyone seen Kyle he's this tall... seen Kyle, seen Kyle!!" said Chris. Many comments intended to poke fun at Katidis and his naive decision, but some tried to be more serious.
"Freedom of Expression doesn't imply Freedom from Consequences...." said Chris P. Some even felt bad for him as he was banned forever. "A penalty of some type seems in order, but a lifetime ban seems real harsh. It's a stupid, ignorant thing to do but he'll be punished plenty by the public and the media," said Javier M.
Some comments seemed to want to give a little history. "That is a Roman salute. The Nazis generally stole their symbols from other cultures," said Darryl.

"Security threats, fractures plague US and Afghans"

Despite the lack of journalistic procedure found in many yahoo! articles, many of the comments reflect the same deficiency of concrete evidence to support their point.

Here in just another yahoo! comment user Simbalips proposes that the U.S. is responsible for President Hamid Karzi’s financial success and corruption. “We have made Karzai a multi-millionaire and set him up as one of the very large drug dealers and he spits in our face. Barry ought to send one of his drones for a visitation and rid the world of another skumbag [sic],” said Simbalips.

The article itself presents absolutely no evidence or discussion relevant to the claim. Even though nearly every comment seems to encompass the same argument – they want all American troops out of the middle east – some are less rationally explained than others.

For instance, user C.B. doesn’t seem to understand the difference between military and border patrol. “We have already lost to [sic] many for nothing. Bring them home and let them protect our borders,” C.B. said. Regardless of the user’s dully justified idea, it garnered hundreds of likes.

In another comment, user William 1 makes quite an irrational claim, albeit more sarcastically put than the others. “Well it sounds more like Karzai got a better deal from china ($),” said William 1. Obviously this was more comedic than serious; however, sarcasm is often hard for many to interpret through print thus making the comment both possibly serious and thought to be serious by many other users. 

"Drivers and Danica, start your engines," - James Franco

Are NASCAR fans grumpy or does Franco really know how to rev some people's engines? Judging by the reaction in just another yahoo! comment by user Mike, it appears his revision - of the new revision caused by Danica Patrick - was not appreciated.

"Actors ..... and James Franco....welcome to the Oscars..." said Mike.

Quite a clever, and timely, response by yahoo! user Mike, and it seems some others not only agree with him but also want his quote restated in tonight's Oscars ceremony.

"GREAT comment!!!!!! Wish someone would do it!" yahoo! user Sheryl said.

Other users appeared quite offended and in turn struck back with some fierce words:

"It's a miracle that he got her name right, considering he's higher than a kite most days," user ~Ternie~ said; or "this way, he makes the story, all about him... typical hollywood egotrip [sic]," user Joey said.

Just how relevant are these comments? Despite the fact that the article itself aimed to stir up controversy over Franco's alteration of the usual four-word command, "drivers, start your engines," it seems some people see the comments section as a form of gossip. Users ~Ternie~ and Joey must know Franco pretty well to understand his daily lifestyle and his ulterior motives better than anyone else; so that's why they have these royal user names to prove such knowledge is clearly credible.

They can be joined by countless other users who claim such insightful, yet snarky remarks on who Franco is or why he changed the command, which used to be "gentlemen, start your engines," before Patrick's appearance forced the change.

However, there were some users who were polite in their comments, including the following:

"A simple "Drivers, start your engine" would have been fine," yahoo! user Austin P said.

Users like Austin P and Mike are the minority in the commenting population that has become grossly infested by the majority whom post thoughtless or arrogant comments that appear to be more self-serving to their own anger or naivety than to serve the actual purpose of the comments section.

To top it all off, there are users like George, who clearly don't apply an ounce of thought before submitting a post.

"Why does the media turn every sporting event into a gay Oscar night," George said. 

Although a dozen things could be described wrong, false, offensive, or clearly naive about this comment, it is much easier to state that there is just nothing right about it.
