Support the independent voice of Phoenix and help keep the future of New Times free.
Perhaps rule number one of Internet use is, "Don't feed the trolls."
However, sometimes those trolls are too disgusting too ignore. Such is the case when news broke today that former Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords is writing a book on gun control.
We checked out people's reactions to the story on about a dozen national news websites, much of which includes people arguing the merits of gun control. On one site, however, Breitbart.com -- a right-wing news website -- much of the commentary of anonymous, online commenters is dedicated to attacking Giffords, who was nearly murdered for doing her job of representing southern Arizonans as their congresswoman.
You might be as surprised as we were to find out what some people really think of Giffords. Find the top-10 scumbag comments below:
