f*ck manners. I am going to celebrate the passing of an evil man.

[scheming daemons]

Bad people don't deserve respect when they pass on.

I'm an atheist. I'm not worried about some supreme being becoming upset with me for revelling in someone's death.

It is good for everyone when a bad person dies.

Andrew Brietbart had zero redeeming qualities. He was a negative for society. His passing makes the world a better place.

I celebrated when kim jung il and gaddafi died. I'll throw a f***ing party when Limbaugh overdoses on a cocktail of oxycontin and viagra.

Good riddance, Andrew... You evil f***.

[anti-alec]

1. He abused Kennedy shortly after Kennedy died.

Why should he not get the same treatment?

[randome]

2. Because he was an ass. We aren't.

Actually, that metaphor doesn't really work, does it?

But you get my point!

[GoCubsGo]

3. Because we are better than that.

Why should we act as shitty as he did?

[Swamp Lover]

7. Becuase we are better.

Well, some of us are.

[bluerum]

12. Judgemental nonsense. One must decry evil according to ones beliefs.

His family may miss him. Many others celebrate his passing.

[randome]

14. You make a judgment when you say 'evil'.

And we all make judgments, every hour of every day. I think Breitbart was a clown and an idiot on the airwaves. Probably not 'evil' in the sense that most people think of it.

[Suji to Seoul]

35. Other than his four kids, tell me why I should eek one sniffle for this troglodyte?

[randome]

37. No tears are advised.

He was an asshole and a waste of breath on TV. I'm glad he's no longer on the airwaves.

Case closed, so far as I'm concerned, and now let's move on. That's just my viewpoint, though.

[Suji to Seoul]

38. Agreed. Turn the Page and let the dustbin of history swallow his corpse

pointless, pontificating gasbag that he was.

"BEHAVE YOURSELF! STOP RAPING PEOPLE!!!"

[StopTheNeoCons]

8. correct

In the hours immediately following Senator Ted Kennedy's death, Breitbart called Kennedy a "villain", a "duplicitous bastard", a "prick"[16] and "a special pile of human excrement."[17][18]

[Fawke Em]

4. While I mostly agree with you (I'm not an atheist, though), I

still feel sorry for his kids.

He may have been a boil on the ass of America, but his kids probably still loved him.

[surfdog]

5. Fuck Andrew

Respect is earned not handed out to everybody

[auntAgonist]

6. Is it good for his wife and children?

Way to stay classy.


I didn't like him either but I will NOT celebrate the death of someone so young.

aA

[Swamp Lover]

9. So true aA.

I thought class might be one of the differences between the camps.

[surfdog]

21. When you handout respect to everybody

Then it means absolutely nothing

Respect is to be earned not just thrown out to everybody like candy at a parade

[whathehell]

31. It's less about personal "respect" than about a common humanity.

The guy wasn't a serial killer, or anything.

I remember a crowd of young people "cheering" and partying outside the prison holding

Ted Bundy on the night of his execution, and while I think Bundy was SO much more

deserving of that reaction than Breitbart, I still found it ugly.

[surfdog]

41. Wow

Everybody deserves respect except for serial killers

Take a bow you get to drive the clown car

[whathehell]

49. Read the post.

I said "common humanity", not respect.

You take the clown car -- You own it.

[Swamp Lover]

32. Your comment is confusing...

...you mean "earn respect" like Anthony Weiner? Is that what you mean?

I demand a high standards for myself. I assumed, incorrectly, that those who share my political beliefs did the same.

I now know that Freeper level class does not stop at the aisle.

[scheming daemons]

11. in the long run, probably yes

Given the way he treated other people, I don't doubt that he probably treated them like shit too.

[auntAgonist]

19. You don't know that to be true. As I said. Way to stay classy.

[snooper2]

33. his wife and kids are on DU?

[auntAgonist]

39. Your comment makes no sense. n/t

[randome]

10. Not everyone is throwing out religion as a reason to not celebrate.

And it's a pretty big assumption on your part that he didn't have some redeeming qualities. I wouldn't begin to know what they might have been but then I didn't know the man. Neither did you.

He had a family and children so...who knows? Not me. Not you.

All we know is what an ass he was on the airwaves.

[scheming daemons]

15. to each his own. I respect your opinion...

... But I'm going to dance on his grave.

[randome]

17. And you have that right.

[Erose999]

16. He never showed any of these alleged "redeeming qualities" in the public square before he died.

Certainly not to Shirley Sherrod, or any of the other lives he'd ruined. Certainly not to the family of Teddy Kennedy when he was tweeting insults just hours after he'd died.

I for one, wish to congratulate the spirochetes on their victory over Breitbart's brain. They have avenged the honor of all those sheep he was buggering.

[randome]

23. No argument from anyone here that Breitbart was toxic.

And I don't want to pound on this point more than necessary, but if the Democrats had stood up to Breitbart and other idiots' nonsense, Sherrod would not have been wronged.

In fact, you can say she was more wronged by Democrats since they had the choice as to whether to support her or drop her based on something some pontificating fool said on TV.

[Erose999]

27. I agree, Obama and Vilsack are equally to blame for being so quick to act on information coming from

a known slanderer. And for not giving Mrs. Sherrod an opportunity to answer to the slanderous allegations against her before handing her a pink slip. But the worst you could say about Obama and Vilsack is that they showed cowardice in the face of the pressure Breitfart was putting on them. They weren't acting with malice toward Mrs. Sherrod.

Breitfart, on the other hand was willfully slandering Mrs. Sherrod, well knowing the damage he was doing to her career and her reputation.

[randome]

36. It's only 'pressure' if we choose to see it that way.

We give Breitbart and others of his ilk power over us.

Why should the Democrats or DUers care what Breitbart had to say about anything, other than worrying about how what he said might sound to everyone else?

We all need to stand up to bullies, not give them power over us.

And the best way to 'stand up' to them is to ignore them.

[Erose999]

42. I didn't give Breitbart anything, except maybe a few insults. It was Obama and Vilsack who empowered

Britefart by acting on his slander. Its hard to ignore someone like Breitfart when those who we elect to represent us seem to fall for every single one of his scams.

And the bad part about it is that he's got a long line of protegees like Jame's O'Queefe to carry on his legacy (and to continue the spread of syphilis).

[randome]

46. Did not mean to imply that you did.

Just making a general point. Wish I had a better way for us to ignore the talking heads.

[ProfessionalLeftist]

13. I see it as . . .

Karma.

[RKP5637]

18. Yep, evilness should not get a free pass just because of death.

[RevStPatrick]

20. I'm going to wait until tomorrow.

My personal policy is when someone evil dies, to be nice on the day of death, out of respect for his or her family. I do that for my own benefit, not because I care about the dead person, or even particularly care about his or her family. I care about my own mental health, and I don't find instant grave-dancing to be healthy. It's just nasty, and I prefer not to be nasty.

Tomorrow I'll probably comment on some particular evil or other that Breitbart committed, but for today, I'm just going to say nothing.

[The Blue Flower]

22. We can simply appreciate his absence

No judgment need be implied.

[bobbyblack]

24. Thank you.

I do not disagree one iota.

[phleshdef]

25. I'll leave the grave dancing and bloodthirst to immature conservatives.

Grown ass adults shouldn't engage in that sort of thing. I can kind of see it when you are talking about a murderer or something, but not beyond that.

[whathehell]

29. Thank you. n/t

[whathehell]

26. "I'm not worried about some supreme being becoming upset with me for revelling in someone's death"

How interesting...I wonder if you know that this statement gives AMMUNITION to those who claim

one MUST have religious faith to act ETHICALLY?.....Not a smart move, IMO. .


Hint: Some of us don't need a supreme being to respond in a kind, humane manner.

[NeedleCast]

28. Exactly, F that guy, I'll dance on his grave

[Nye Bevan]

30. You can rejoice in someone's death but can't bring yourself to type the word "fuck"?

Interesting.

[scheming daemons]

34. not sure how one relates to the other, but...

It is a habit of mine due to filters on many sites that block certain words.

Just got in the habit of typing sh!t, f*ck, and so on to get through the word blockers.

[backscatter712]

40. I have a song, in memory of Breitbart...

[SidDithers]

43. Yup. Andrew Brietbart - Posting Privileges Revoked...

Sid

[backscatter712]

47. He disrupted poorly. n/t

[Poll_Blind]

44. +1

PB

[Ganja Ninja]

45. Considering what he said about Ted Kennedy I think it's appropriate. n/t

[joeybee12]

48. The world is a better place without him...knr
