Respect for Breitbart ....

Chime in and tell us how Breitbart earned your respect.

Some think respect is to be thrown out like handfuls of candy at a Fourth of July parade , my view is that respect is earned.

Breitbart earned no respect during his life , and should be shown no respect in death

"Over the course of the next three hours, Breitbart unapologetically attacked Kennedy, calling him a “villain,” “a big ass motherf@#$er,” a “duplicitous bastard” and a “prick.” “I’ll shut my mouth for Carter. That’s just politics. Kennedy was a special pile of human excrement,” wrote Breitbart in one tweet..."

I would be disrespecting him by showing him anything but what he so assiduously courted during his miserable life.

enemies to which we can ascribe our own propensities of anger or hatred to? That seems rather binding and feels more like two sides of the same coin in any struggle.

Do we have opponents who present to us a means to clarify and strengthen our perspective and derive greater understanding from?

I find opponents to be more useful and some are worthy and others are not, yet they can all provide something polar, something of contrast, in the continuum that ranges between the extreme sides of any contention.
