So does this mean I can post pretty much any random thread from free republic and pretend that all conservatives are evil?

Did I say that? I'm sorry you don't like reality, but don't try and make me the bad guy for posting this stuff.

I am pointing out that you can't condemn a group of people for the sake of a few idiots.

If you don't have any respect for unclassy people, then I'm guessing you have no respect for Breitbart? Or is it only shameful to you when someone speaks ill of conservative's that have passed?

Andrew Breitbart - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the hours immediately following Senator Ted Kennedy's death, Breitbart called Kennedy a "villain", a "duplicitous bastard", a "prick"[15] and "a special pile of human excrement."

You had to know this was coming.
Of course, assholes generally have bad stuff said about them when they die, lol.

Breitbart hated Kennedy in life, and he hated him in death.

I appreciate his honest rudeness...over dishonest niceness.

However, since he talked **** about Kennedy, he's fair game, as far as I am concerned.

call it....."Karma". No one deserves respect. They EARN it.

Honestly, this is no different than how some conservatives reacted about Kennedy's death. Only there wasn't a thread about it generalizaing to all conservatives, that I am aware of.

Grim, Andrew also insulted Ted Kennedy upon his death, so perhaps, maybe, it's karma.

Whatever the case, insulting people upon their death is wrong, unless the person was a murderer/rapist/whatever.
 
Yet you explicitly accused me of such.

You are correct and I continue to feel justified in doing so. Again, you did not do such a thing explicitly, however implicitly ...

some of my co-workers said some horrible things about Kennedy, when he died.

and why? because of his pushing for the Immigration Act of 1968, of all things.

again, folks earn respect. they don't deserve it.

I feel Breitbart, by his actions & statements, earned disrespect.

Ted Kennedy sided with the Soviets during the Cold War. Unless Breitbart said those things about Kennedy merely because he was a liberal, you don't have a point.

I didn't make those comments, yet I am the one you attack... How wonderful.

Yep, I am smart enough to know your intentions, it is indeed wonderful to be me.

So, Breibart gets a pass on what he said about Kennedy, but no one can speak ill of Breitbart?
 
I wonder if Grim acknowledges that Andrew Breitbart talked just as despicably when Ted Kennedy died.

I guess some people have respect for the dead, and others don't. It's just that simple.
