Whether on the right or the left all comments should be considered legit unless they are racist or direct threats of violence. Forums such as these act as a safety valve to let off steam. The more speech is censored the more that steam reverts to actual violence in society. Such censorship is as culpable and as inciteful as open availability of certain guns. It is stupid that Yahoo's big brother executives use obviously clumsy but facist tactics in their algorithms, in repetitively flashing guidelines, in blocking posts, in forcing repetitive logging out, in blocking perfectly utilitarian words or even swear words. It becomes as juvenile and as reprehensible as some of the comments themselves. It would be far better to end the comments altogether. Then of course many people would abandon Yahoo for good, considering the relentless spam from shady advertisers and their virus landen sham ads.
