I'm on Facebook. Some hate it. I like it. If you give a "like" to a site or person, they enter your news feed. Which brings me to this:
Why are C-Span News feed comments dominated by conservatives with RW comments? The top comments are always from Conservatives, who seem to lay in wait for a C-Span post and immediately post some trash about the president. Here's an example. This morning C-Span posted this:
TONIGHT: President Obama Immigration Executive Action Announcement
And here are the top comments:
Mark Helio Complete lawlessness.

Here's more:
Obamacare!
IMPEACH AND REMOVE HIM FROM OFFICE NOW!
I'll explain it to you in a nutshell!
(1) Healthcare is not an entitlement.
(2) Government has NO business in healthcare payment or delivery.
(3) The privacy of private citizens is of paramount importance.
(4) The is NO evidence whatsoever that the federal government can manage and run social programs successfully.
(5) The federal government's number one priority is to protect and defend the citizens from outside attack.
(6) OBAMACARE moves the United States of America closer towards socialism.
(7) OBAMA and his supporters forced this legislation on American citizens in a brutal and dishonest manner causing widespread divisiveness, tension, conflict, and expense.
(8) In the U.S. Declaration of Independence, our Founding Fathers closed with this statement, "And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor."
What has changed in your mind?

Now to be honest there are a sprinkling of comments by Dems and those on the left, but my question is:
Where the hell is the left on these boards? There are 757 million daily users on Facebook. When FB automatically posts top comments, and they become the most read comments, people might as well be watching FOX.
It seems to me we are missing a giant opportunity to make our case on a variety of topics, but once again conservatives are beating us to the punch.
What are your thoughts?
