In light of Zyph's admonishment above, how is that even remotely related to the topic at hand?

Well that pretty much sums up the grand total of what you have said in this whole thread.
You should have taken your own advice.
Now back to the zombie Ted Kennedy show....
Sarah Palin's Facebook 'Friends' Celebrate Ted Kennedy's Death: "One Less Socialist," "Good Riddens" | PEEK | AlterNet
This is to rich! :lol:
No excuse. He chose to get drunk, he chose to drive, he then left her to die.
And just as I suspected, overheard on the ABC news break radio break that certain Democrats are using his "lifelong fight" in the healthcare arena to state that we must have UHC by the end of the year, what a bunch of SCUMBAGS, didn't even have the decency to wait for the man to be interred and they are already using his death, there's gotta be a special place in hell for that type.I just hope they don't turn this into a circus like Paul Wellstone, Coretta Scott King, Michael Jackson, etc. and let the family bury him with dignity, this is a man's death, and even though I had no respect for him in life I can give him that much in the end. R.I.P Senator Kennedy.
Moderator's Warning: Its not. Neither was your accusation of her as trolling you. Both of you cut it and get back on topic, of which neither of you qualify as.
People actually write entire blog posts or articles relating to what random Facebook followers write? Good heavens, this is what happens when people on the internet take themselves too seriously. Who gives a flying ....
He was tried and acquitted. He served a distinguished term in the Senate and he fought his alcohol demons and had to live with the consequences of his mistakes his whole life.
Now he has died, may he rest in peace.

Really?
I think its kind of tasteless to do it this quick, but you've got people ****ting on the man before he's cold all over in here and you're having a cow over the fact that people are using his death to try and spur a political philosophy forward that he's championed for decades?
If they were pushing forward something he wouldn't have agreed with I'd be right there with you, but this would be like people after Heston's death going "We're going to honor his memory by pushing against those that seek unconstituional gun laws" saying they should go to hell for doing it. I don't think its that bad to use the memory of a man to help push something he's unquestionablly had been in favor of. Though I do think doing it within hours of his death is horribly tasteless.
Wrong; you made a statement unsubstantiated by any facts and I challenged you to prove them.
Carry on. :2wave:
How can you compare a few people who disliked the mans policies on a generic internet board to lifelong politicians trying to pass a law on the grief over his death???? :roll:
How can you justify comparing the two?
Just a bit over the top don't you think?
Both are distasteful, but I don't begrudge others personal opinions and won't call them on it, that's between them and those that disagree, it affects none of us in any real way, I find using the dead as a political tool to be the most heinous of behaviors though, and it's chilling, if they did succeed in using Sen. Kennedy's death as a call to UHC then our taxes go up and our healthcare goes down, it affects us all, and worse yet, it will have worked and thus further this particular barbaric and classless behavior.....

I think that was equally disgusting to be honest, and reserve the same judgement, the dead should never be used as a means to an end, no matter their stance on the issue, it's a very bad card to play.If they were pushing forward something he wouldn't have agreed with I'd be right there with you, but this would be like people after Heston's death going "We're going to honor his memory by pushing against those that seek unconstituional gun laws" saying they should go to hell for doing it.
I think we can agree on the timing, but I have to disagree with you on the issue overall.I don't think its that bad to use the memory of a man to help push something he's unquestionablly had been in favor of. Though I do think doing it within hours of his death is horribly tasteless.
Not just any facebook personality Shara Palin.
Anyway I agree with you 100%. Makes it no less epic lolz.
Saying you as a person would take up the fight and champion their cause is not a problem, in my opinion that is respectful, what I gleemed from the report though was that these politicians and other politicos were saying, to paraphrase "we need to get this done now in memory of Sen. Kennedy", which I have a MASSIVE problem with.Tasteless would've been coming out and saying he wouldn't be dead today if we had universal healthcare because it'd be politicizing it with little fact to support (Much like idiotic comments about how a random school shooting automatically means we need new gun laws). But saying you're going to champion his cause and make it your mission to get it passed isn't the same thing in my eyes.

I'm not saying they're on the same level, what I am saying they're both similarly rather tasteless, classless things to do and having a cow about one while not giving a passing care for the other makes me wonder if its principally or politically motivated.
That being said, yes, I actually think bad mouthing the dead, especially to the level some have, hours after their death in the middle of people who are trying to be respectful just to cause an uproar is more classless than stating you're going to champion the cause that the person that just died faught for for decades.
Well that pretty much sums up the grand total of what you have said in this whole thread.
You're right. I've never mourned the death of a solider or marine. I've also never danced on their grave, happy to see them off the face of the earth.You think mourning some politician who you never knew is normal?
How many times have you mourned the death of a Soldier or Marine? How many whiney, cry-baby threads do they get?
You're right. I've never mourned the death of a solider or marine. I've also never danced on their grave, happy to see them off the face of the earth.
That's likely because they died heroically, and you shouldn't be happy to see them go.

I do not wish to respond to vacuous comments.
Dancing on someone's grave is the issue here, not me.
Either one participates in such a classless exercise, or one does not.
It is a dispicable act and I will stubbornly defend the point of view that sees such behaviour as lacking dignity and civility.
