Glenn,
As Howard notes, Huffington Post took down the offensive comments. Their reason for doing so obviously escaped Howard. Huffington Post didn't just write a disclaimer and let the comments stand, they flatly denied giving a voice to those comments by eliminating them so they couldn't be spread around and around and around. And denying the posters their first amendment rights more than sufficiently demonstrates the comments were not consistent with or representative of Huffington Post editorial or its readers nor did they condone such sentiments. The fact that both Michelle Malkin and Howard Kurtz chose to give new voice to those comments makes them no different or better than the individuals who wrote them originally.
