"They blew up their poster boy"

[Nephythys]

Not in the least- I am responding on an offhand way to the comment of this being the libs fault- it just reminded me of how ghastly certain liberals behaved after his death- I find the notion of a cover up as reprehensible, just as you do-

And it is not just random board posts-
Google search- Ted Rall, notorious liberal.....
Rall Links

They had to pull his stuff- he was so vile. Not someone I would want speaking for me, if I was a lib....

I did not mean to derail- just to respond to the comment (though again, my remarks are not aimed at anyone here)- and the issue has taken on a life of it's own.

Although- I guess while I would not equate- I find BOTH actions to be those of low life gutter rats. Call it as I see it.

[Ghoulish Delight]

Yes, but I'm far more disturbed by low life gutter rats that make their way high in the military chain of command or political world than I am about loudmouths that spout off online, no matter how high profile they are. All someone needs to do it online is a keyboard and an opinion. The people in command have people and a system around them that's complicit in getting them there and supporting their actions.

[Nephythys]

I'm not disagreeing.

Though my point stands. It WAS libs who celebrated his death and mocked him for his choice to join. Now they change their tune because now they can bash the government who sent him- and that is a far more favored sport, is it not?

[Nephythys]

I did not say all. So there is zero point in contesting that point. It was libs who celebrated, not all, but it was certainly not the conservatives who did so.

I made no blanket statement- I would no more say that all libs are one way, than I would say all conservatives are another. I fail to see why anyone needs to defend liberals as a group because of what some said- and they DID say it. Like it or not.

Try to see it the other way though.

"Conservative christians are the ones that danced and spit on Matthew Shepards grave."

That isn't a true statement even though an ultra-religious nutjob like Fred Phelps picketed his funeral, holding a sign that said "God Hates Fags."

It doesn't matter that you did or didn't say "all". It is still offensive because it suggests that this is a typical view and I contend that it isn't, regardless of what a few idiots on a message board say.

I don't think it is fair to compare someone like this to someone who happens to be liberal.

Edited to add: geez, you guys are quick in your posting.

Conservatives commit hypocrisy. Conservatives see themselves as better than others. Conservatives make grand sweeping gestures about groups of people. Conservatives post flame bait. Conservatives take it personally.

Not all conservatives.

See how productive this is?

It was the conservatives who danced and spat on the graves of the blacks and jews killed by the KKK.
