Sure, if you've been reading the Brietbart comments for years and you wanted to reach a conclusion like that go ahead. My personal opinion, is that either there really is a racism problem on message boards, or someone with a botnet wants us to think there is one.
On the other hand, that wasn't the only place that was calling the article unhelpful and suggesting it shouldn't have been reported (at least not on Friday and Saturday), oddly having trouble locating those things on Google today.
