1. Fuck the freepers. Each and every last one of them.

Like they wouldn't be dancing in the street if it was President Clinton that died?

Fuck 'em.

[ScreamingMeemie]

4. and so we will sink to the same level??

That's rich. :(

[truebrit71]

8. No. We don't let them frame the debate.

He was a shitty president and now he's dead.

Move on.

[Syrinx]

26. nice debate

:eyes:

[Walt Starr]

40. They were dancing in the streets and pissing on the grave

of Paul Wellstone.

Fuck 'em.

[dolo amber]

2. Yes, I expect they will be for quite some time

It's not like they don't have enough ammo...:eyes:

[Padraig18]

6. No kidding!

I'm asking myself whether or not I even KNOW some of the people posting today; I thought I did, but after reading some of what's here now, I'm not at all sure any longer.

Very disappointed...

[Kipepeo]

27. I agree with you

People are being beyond immature. I have no problem with those who are pointing out his failings as a President or how a lot of our current problems are his legacy. Please: go ahead! I think we need that sort of criticsm now (and I also think now would be a good time to focus on stem cell research and how Nancy is for it and Dubya opposes it). But to cheer on the act of his death is needless and only gives people ammunition to paint us all at DU as childish, insensitive and vile.

[Carolina]

47. ammo? like they need ammo

With them, we're damned if we do, damned if we don't. Nice or nasty doesn't matter because they distort, deny, lie and vilify regardless. So we threw 'em a few bones today; I know I'm surely guilty but I'm tired of being nice and I don't give a shit what they think.

Reagan is the reason we are in the mess we're in today ... many of his people and his policies thrive today. I will not mourn him, gloss over the past (or the prologue) and pretend he deserves my sudden respect just because he finally died.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

3. Before Anyone Bites

We shouldn't celebrate Reagan's passing because it's the right thing to do not because we're worried the Freepers will cite our behavior...

I am higher on the evolutionary scale than the Freepers.. I wish not to descend to their simian behavior...


Peace


Brian

[Cat Atomic]

5. So what? Afraid they're going to hate us?

They already hate us, bro. They'd have us in concentration camps if they could get away with it.

I don't give a shit what Freepers say or think.

[Kipepeo]

29. i don't care if they hate me either

but I'd like not to be associated with the same behavior that I think represents them, mainly insensitivity and childishness.

[mike_c]

7. whatever....

eom

[Momgonepostal]

9. You know if Bill Clinton died tomorrow...

...they'd be dancing in the streets. Human nature.

I think when a public figure dies it's natural to analyze and verbalize our thoughts about that person. I don't think we should necessarily sugar-coat everything.

[kaitykaity]

13. This deserves it's own thread.

"What would the FReepers do if Clinton died tomorrow?"

Good job!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

14. If We Emulated The Freeper's Lower Evolved Simian Behavior

wouldn't it be a case of "monkey see, monkey do."

[kaitykaity]

18. Maybe.

But if we're talking about what they're saying about us
right now, it's a good defense to imagine how much worse
they would be if Clinton died--Hillary, Chelsea, or Bill.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

20. They're Assholes

whether they know it or not....


I satisfy myself by knowing I'm a better human being or at least try to be....

[Dookus]

43. They will be total jerks about it

and we will rightly recognize that. But how does US acting like jerks give us any right to judge their bad behavior?

I'm glad to see a number of people here straining to show a little decency and humanity today. Unfortunately, too many people are just embroiled in hate.

I want no part of a liberalism that isn't based in humanity.

[kaitykaity]

44. All I was talking about was a defense against

FReepers' attacks on the minority here who are reveling
in it a little bit tonight.

[Carolina]

48. don't insult the monkeys

freepers ar lower than snake shit ...

[bicentennial_baby]

10. And we should care why?

Nah, I'll pass, thanks.

[bluestateguy]

11. We shall see how they behave when Bill Clinton's day comes

I am on the record as condeming any celebration of Ronald Reagan's death, which some here have partaken in.

These Freepers like to think of themselves as good moral, Bible believing Christians who value life. Well let he who is without sin cast the first stone. They celebrated the deaths of Paul Wellstone, Mel Carnahan, Patsy Mink and various other liberal icons over and over again.

This is why we need to put this kind of stuff to a stop, period. It only perpetuates a cycle of meaness and vitriol which will eventually erode democratic government.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

12. And this bears mentioning why?

Was there recently an outbreak of threads that spoke well of DU, over on Freak Republic?

Just wondering...

[Indiana_Dem]

15. Oh this just cracks me up!

"These are people who truly wear their hatred on their sleeves like a badge of honor. Not even just about Reagan but about a lot of things. If you don't agree with their philosohpy then you do not even deserve to live, according to them. All because they are the smartest, most compassionate people in the world whould could solve every problem in the world if only they could do away with any dissenting viewpoint in one form or another. Their hipocrisy is STAGGERING. That leads me to a point I want to make: If you ever want to know what the far lefties are up to, just listen to what they are accusing everybody else of.. you can bet the FARM that's that's exactly what they're getting into. "

Can you believe this person who said this!??!?!?! Do they ever see the things their people like Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh say about the Democrats!?!?!?!? How can they say this with a straight face???

I want to tell them to get the log out of their own eye first! Geez!

They just don't know how to react when getting a dose of their own medicine.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

16. which is why we shouldn't be doing it.

Let's talk about all the stupid things he did but let's not dance on the grave.

[Kipepeo]

30. Thank You

[UrbScotty]

17. Have any of them blamed Clinton or Kerry yet?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=1725618&mesg_id=1725618

[Renew Deal]

19. Typical freeper: Can't spell or put 2 sentences together.

But I am not fond of the non-issue based bashing here either. We are supposed to be.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

21. who gives a gnat's ass!

[tnlefty]

46. Dang! I thought it was a fat rat's ass!!!

Mistaken again!

[agincourt]

22. I wonder when,

they are going to say Hillary snuck in and choked him? Just to be sure st ronnie wouldn't last till october.

[NV1962]

23. Shouldn't they be busy crying into their teacups instead?

Good little fascists they are, playing wooden leg over comments on a genocidal terrorist and why he should have left earlier...

Not surprising. Encouraging, that, but not surprising.

[salinen]

24. Yo Freep

get over it.

[ContinentalOp]

25. Uh oh...

Come on people. Hitler may have had some bad policies but let's show a little compassion for his friends and family. If we celebrate his death what will all of the loyal SS officers think of us?

Oh, wait... i mean.. oops. nevermind. Not that I'm comparing the greatest actor/president of the 20th century to Hitler. That would be wrong and the freepers would use it against us, oh my!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

28. I Think That's Called A False Dichotomy...

I can believe that Reagan was a horrible president without believing he's akin to Hitler....

[ContinentalOp]

34. OK, you're right

I'll agree that he's not akin to Hitler. But if you'll allow that it's ever acceptable to say good riddance to an enemy then I respectfully ask to use this occasion as my one tasteless transgression.

[NMDemDist2]

31. they deserve their mourning, as we would when Bill Clinton

passes. I have not posted on Reaguns death all day, and I won't now, but I must say I am quite overwhelmed by the lask of taste and human feeling being displayed here tonite.

[LTR]

32. One word:

WELLSTONE

'nuff said.

[imax2268]

33. I heard that...

we all know how some of them acted when Wellstone died...but we shouldn't be acting like them...

I'm sure that some of the comments here have been sent to limpjaw and the other ilk hate-spewers out there...

we should not act like them...we should have some respect for his family...argue his politics but let's not dis-respect the man's death or his families loss...

[DemocratSinceBirth]

36. Really, Ron Reagan Jr. Is A Bon afide Liberal As Is Patti Davis

I'm sure they're not happy that their fellow leftists are shitting on their dad's grave...

[Catt03]

35. They sound just like us!

[Fleshdancer]

37. And if freepers were celebrating Clinton's death?????

We will be doing the same fucking thing the day they get celebrate Clinton's death. How can anyone NOT be ashamed by the behavior here???

freepers and some people here = two sides of the same damn coin

[Deja Q]

38. And I'm sure they were all remorseful evolved saints when Wellstone died.

Fuck 'em, and not in the good way.

[DS1]

39. Fuck the damn freepers. Why does their opinion matter today and not

yesterday?

Answer? It still doesn't.

Freepers can all eat a big fat pile of shit.

[Dookus]

41. That's not the point

It doesn't matter how they act. But if we believe we're better than them, yet act the same way they do, then what have we gained?

They will cheer when Clinton dies. We will rightly consider them to be assholes. Why should we act like assholes, too?

[BeFree]

53. Bullshit

Bullshit, Dookus. "We" are not acting like they do. Sure, some of you lilly hearted liberals are a little muddied from hanging around the trenches today, but look at where staying all nice and clean has gotten us -- GWB - that's what we've gained.

Get down and get dirty. Or get the hell outta the way. RR was/is the enemy. Or have you forgotten?

[Carolina]

49. touche!

[bleedingheart]

42. oh and if something happens to a Kennedy I bet they are all

sending condolence cards...

[Forkboy]

45. Good,pissing them off doubles the fun

[Carolina]

50. I know, amazingly cathartic

ain't it?!

[UTUSN]

51. Their Spelling Is "Moranic": Not Only "hipocrisy" but "Reagon"

They can't even spell their idol's name. Brace for the LASHING OUT of all next week, just wait till LIMBOsevic and HANNITY unwind on Monday.

[Bride of Cthulhu]

52. agreed!!
