1. A real shame

that she didn't make it to the end of the Republican hatefest she helped create.

[Siwsan]

2. Thanks for the link

The only one I could find was from the Washington Times, and I didn't want to post that.

[trof]

3. I just won't say anything.

No, I won't.
Really.

[TheDebbieDee]

9. I will join you in saying nothing....

[trof]

16. Well that's very nice.

Together we'll both just say nothing.
Yes.
Just...nothing.

[TheDebbieDee]

19. Mum's the word!

Absolutely NOTHING!

[Arkansas Granny]

59. And I'll join the both of you.

[TheDebbieDee]

66. Yes, by all means, join us and say NOTHING....

Tick-a-lock!

[Warpy]

27. Neither will I, but

I'm with Clarence Darrow on this one.

[trof]

33. And Clarence said...?

I hadda ask.

[Warpy]

36. I have never killed a man,

but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure.--Clarence Darrow

I find myself quoting him a lot now that the old lions of the far right are dying off.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

43. Here goes "nothing..."

[mentalsolstice]

45. I'm going to sit on my hands and chew my tongue.

That's all.

[dixiegrrrrl]

73. To quote Bette Davis..

I was taught one should say only good aboout a deceased person.

Therefore, all I will say is.........

Good!

[stopbush]

4. Can the country now please go back to normal?

[trof]

17. Sorry bub. No chance. But I wish.

[Freddie]

5. Silver stake through the heart, eh?

They say only the good die young. Good riddance to evil rubbish.

[MineralMan]

6. I'm sure her family is sad...

[Warpy]

28. Probably not the kid with the microbrew company

He won the case but it was likely a Pyrrhic victory.

[underpants]

7. When someone dies you are supposed to say something good

Phyllis Schlafly is dead. Good.

I read this, basically, on DU when Jerry Falwell died.

[longship]

15. If Falwell had an enema he could have been buried in a matchbox.

(Quoting Christopher Hitchens.)

Likewise Phyllis Schlafly, and her evil spawn, Andrew, host of the odious Conservapedia.

[sharp_stick]

26. That's a line from Betty Davis

when Joan Crawford died. They had a long long feud. It fits very well with the death of this woman as well.

[underpants]

51. I did not know that

[apcalc]

8. She was a major impediment to the ERA.

Men and women will be forced-forced! I tell you- to use the same bathroom if it passes!

Yes, pathetically stupid...and yes, bathroom politics again.

Grrrrr....

[jehop61]

10. Condolences

to her loved news.....that is all

[BYJ439]

56. +1

Phyllis was one hateful woman. It's hard to say anything nice about her.

[UTUSN]

11. Is a Rec considered gravedancing?!1 nt

[progressoid]

60. I hope so.

[Iggo]

72. Me, too.

[madaboutharry]

12. She was a hateful woman.

[stevenleser]

18. Yep, her advice to GOP on winning more elections was to concentrate on white voters

Trump seems to be following her lead.

She was virulently against women's rights, people of color, Latinos, etc.

[Hortensis]

20. Dingdong.

[rustysgurl]

13. Didn't she say ...

something about a woman being President over her dead body???

[Kber]

48. I don't know, but I sure hope she did!

[asiliveandbreathe]

14. Ding Dong...

'Ding Dong! The Wicked Witch Is Dead!' Ding Dong! The Wicked Witch is dead. ...

[Motley13]

21. Too bad

[CrispyQ]

22. Good riddance you hateful woman. -nt

[blogslut]

23. Invoking the Auntie Em rule

[SaschaHM]

24. I'll say something nice.

I wish she would have lived long enough to see Hillary Clinton become president. For her health.

[Ilsa]

70. That sentiment includes me, too.

I would have loved for her to live long enough to see what an exceptional president HRC will make.

[Skittles]

25. pleading the 5th

[atreides1]

29. I have no sympathy for her family!!

They profited from her hatred...so I hope they're all suffering from her death!

And I don't feel bad about saying this!!!

[bluestateguy]

30. One less vote for Trump

And that's really their problem isn't it? Their base is angry old racist white people.

[Binkie The Clown]

31. The world advances one funeral at a time. n/t

[thelordofhell]

32. In related news...trump support among women drops 5%

Now that one of the 20 women supporting trump has died........

[mcar]

34. If you can't say anything nice.....

.....

[IcyPeas]

35. did her husband give her permission?

http://www.makers.com/moments/husbands-permission

here are some great quotes from ol' Phyl:

I would've posted a few doozies for example, but they are pretty much all doozies.

[Arkansas Granny]

68. That line irked me to no end.

[GoCubsGo]

37. My condolences to her family. n/t

[CaliforniaPeggy]

38. Finally!

[malaise]

39. She joins Scalia

Bye bye

[colsohlibgal]

40. That Brightened Up My Day

Saw ACDC last night and can see Phyllis moving down that "Highway To Hell". What a close minded hateful woman, a disgrace to my gender.

[frogmarch]

41. Boo fucking hoo. nt

[Ken Burch]

42. What did Hell do to deserve THIS?

[Laxman]

44. I'd Like To Know....

who poured the bucket of water on her. There are not many people that I have met in person that I couldn't find some redeeming quality about them. She is one of them. I had the distinct displeasure of knowing her and her incredibly creepy son Andrew. Both of them so certain of their moral superiority and both so oily and obnoxious. They just made my skin crawl.(...and bear in mind that my career has had me cross paths with murderers, rapists and child molesters along with a healthy dose of Republican politicians) Phyllis, Andrew and Andrew's equally odious buddy Michael Farris in the same room were enough to make you think that alien beings are living among us. Ms. Schlafley has finally done something to make the world a better place. When all else fails at least you can serve as a bad example.

[roamer65]

46. Same feeling as when that old bag Thatcher died.

Some bless us with their presence, others with their ABSENCE.

[Kber]

47. May she rest in

Aww fuck. Who am I kidding.

[femmocrat]

49. .

I remember her distorted opposition to the ERA.

[Laffy Kat]

50. ...

[gopiscrap]

52. I must admit that I have a big smile on my face right now!

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

53. I'm very sad at this moment

Oh wait, no, I farted.

Now I'm fine.

[ornotna]

54. And the Munchkins danced in the street when they heard the news

She was a hateful woman.

[no_hypocrisy]

55. Reminds me of this anecdote about Bette Davis making a statement

when Joann Crawford died: “You should never say bad things about the dead, you should only say good . . . Joan Crawford is dead. Good.”

[Va Lefty]

57. I thought the same thing!

[tenderfoot]

58. ...

[phasma ex machina]

61. My condolences to her friends and family.

[bravenak]

63. Poor satan.

[Lifelong Protester]

64. I'd like to say sorry, but...

coming of age during the ERA fight, I believe she was bad news.


Sorry to have to say something bad about the dead, but....

[struggle4progress]

65. Her really lasting contribution to Republican political culture

has been to reduce the issue of women's equality to the important question of who can use the bathroom

In a unique way, this question continues to capture Republicans' imaginations and to drive GOP rhetoric

[gratuitous]

67. Bury her 4.75 feet deep

You know, 79%.

[bagelsforbreakfast]

69. Did anyone actually see the stake

in her heart?

[backscatter712]

71. And I just found an exclusive photo of the site of her death!

[Warren Stupidity]

74. The world is a better place.

[mdbl]

75. A classic rebel without a cause

She made her life about the most worthless crap. What a waste.

[Ilsa]

Y’all, Phyllis Schlafly went to the great beyond today. That loud gasp you heard is Phyllis discovering that God is liberal black woman who wants to have a little chat with her.

Phyllis was 92 years old, proving once again that the good die young.
