The comments might be ridiculous, they might be unintentionally comedic, they might be ignorant, but they most certainly aren't offensive - that is unless one makes the conscious decision to take offense and I'm not sure why anybody would choose to do that.
Yeah, I guess someone could have said that about Mein Kampf before Hitler became Chancellor of Germany and got in a position to do some real property damage and bodily injury. What's so offensive about a little hate speech between ignoramuses? Not much different than a circle jerk. Makes sense.
