I was rather startled that moderators had chosen to leave so much of it intact, when there were plenty of blank comments which had clearly been stripped off the site because they were deemed objectionable. If what’s left on the site is OK, I’d hate to read what they removed.

Anyway, to Adam’s point: I think the reason that folks get upset about this stuff is that we always notice the negative crap written about our side by the other side. I know I do. Both sides do it, but both sides only feel the incoming vitriol, and assume the outgoing hate is in response to it.

Really, we are all throwing some hate towards our opposition all the time.

No, you just failed to mention it while you were ripping liberals for their Cheney death watch. Intellectually dishonest.

Some of these are cruel, some are true at any time like the wrong person got out of the car could be said anytime. Others just make the comment that they cannot say anything nice so they will say nothing at all.

Surely there are some people who do this on both sides. The difference is that the site owners moderate better and take the moral high ground.

There is no doubt there are asses on both sides though I have not read one thing that said they couldn’t wait for him to die…

They’ve been closing threads all day long on Free Republic over the Kennedy stuff. The majority of comments have been positive of course, but some Freepers can’t help themselves. You get enough people together and the number of morons goes up and they all rear their ugly heads…

The worst stuff has been deleted every few minutes until the thread is closed but here’s just a sample from this thread of the comments that haven’t been deleted yet:

“The wrong person got out of the car back in 1969.”

“I would not feel compelled to talk about the nice things Pol Pot did during his life, at his death.”

“Is there some PC rule on FR that says that when an evil man gets sick, we must pretend he was saint?”

“What’s one brain destroyed compared to an entire nation?”

“May the Lord bless the cowardly murderer.”

“I personally cannot think of a more deserving person for this to have happened to.”

“Personally, I’d prefer to have seen him slip off a dock in a drunken stupor, and wrap himself up in a lobster pot line about ten feet underwater.”

“Someone smarter than me said that, ‘the Lord works in mysterious ways.’”

I’m not one of them either. The MSM will canonize him now that it appears he may be terminal, but even a simple random search though the C-SPAN archives would pick up some of Ted’s vitriolic and personal attacks on Republicans, judicial nominees and conservative political leaders. I’m not keen on seeing anyone suffer this kind of fate, but we can pray for his physical recovery while retaining an objective, critical sense of revulsion at his tactics (e.g., the “Robert Bork’s America” smear, etc., etc., etc., ad nauseum, ad infinitum)

Show me the foul comments. Then I can talk about them.

EACH AND EVERY time Dick Cheney goes to the hospital the Kos site has a gleeful death watch where they all hope that he dies. You can say what you want but I DO have the moral high ground.

There might be people with joy in their hearts but I doubt you will find much of it expressed on their web sites.

The fact is, you cannot recognize or handle the truth. You are an apologist for all things wrong on the left. You will defend them for the very things you condemn the right for. And you bring misguided arguments to the table.

As for the morons, those on the left who pray for the death of Republicans when they get sick fit the bill perfectly and they fit your description as well.
