Don't Speak Ill of the Recently Departed, unless the Recently Departed Spoke Ill of the the Recently Departed

Breitbart did not afford the customary courtesy due the dead when Sen. Ted Kennedy passed away:

Andrew Breitbart, a Washington Times columnist who oversees Breitbart.com and BigHollywood.com, tapped into the anti-Kennedy vein in the hours after the senator’s death was announced, posting a series of Twitter messages in which he called Kennedy a “villain,” a “duplicitous bastard” and a “prick.”

His actions then were just as disgusting and classless as the actions of some posters on here now.

Said posters are being paid to broadcast their comments to a mass audience, are they?

I wasn't on this site when that thread was going, so I really don't have any personal stake in it. However, I find anyone who celebrates the death of another individual to be classless and disgusting, no matter their political affiliation.

Whatever, reading THE WHOLE of this thread and then the link explains what happened. I'm cool if you either can't or won't figure it out.
I just mainly want to make sure the actual history of what happened doesn't get buried under commentary from someone who won't do the legwork.
But I'm cool with the idea you can come in here take few pokes at Teddy "in an effort to show us what <you >won't stoop to"[:D]

Oh, I forgot the "rules of the internet." Isn't it rule number one (or, at least, in your mind) that people on the internet are not allowed to act like decent, rational, human beings?

I bet it was done by the same people that killed Brierbart.

Hey, long as you don't mind being told when you perhaps should have read up on something, I'm not especially concerned about what rulebook you follow.
But just so you know, I worked at the company that first made this protocol that shows you all these pretty pictures and words accessible to you (well from home anyway ), test-driving a thing called the shiva PPP protocol.
And at no time before or after did anyone drop off a 'rulebook' ... but if you say one exists, I guess we'll pretend one does.
In the meantime, how about you get together with all the other cons and put your money where your mouth is and kick out your vulgar Limbaugh from the party and radio (in a commercial sense)? In as much as most of us don't even enjoy the luxury of hearing fatso's thoughts due to his ARMY of REGURGITATERS who haven't left most of us alone with their talking points and unapologetic "explanations" for the continual vulgarity and attempts to foment everything just this side of a riot (see- 'operation chaos').... It MIGHT behoove your crowd to take a few important first steps toward reconciliation before you go YET AGAIN telling us we have a problem.

First, did you REALLY not understand the sarcasm behind my "rules of the internet" comment?

Second, thanks for the work history lesson there. Not sure why that matters, but good to know I suppose.

quote:

Finally, I'm not sure why you think I have any say, pull, or influence over what other conservatives do. Nor do I understand why you think that being conservative means I support or condone the actions of all other conservatives. I don't think I've regurgitated a single thing Limbaugh has said, nor apologized for him at all. So, your rant really should be directed elsewhere as it certainly doesn't apply to me.

Of course I knew you were being smarmy, so you were responded to in kind... what part didn't you get?

It doesn't. You're welcome anyway.

If ya can't police your own subculture or lack the motivation to or whatever the problem is... why bother other people.
If you have no voice there, why feel entitled to one here.
The reality is that the RNC has a wonderful site and if my clan had facilities like that, and we were burdened by a Rush Limbaugh, I would certainly be on there making my points about 'human decency' there first.
But we welcome you here.. probably a bit more than you would be going up against their hate machine. We're just not going to kiss your ass. I hope that's cool with you.

quote:

And, for the record, I do police my own side and subculture. Be that the conservative subculture or the gay subculture (or, smaller yet, the gay conservative subculture), I do whatever I can to return civility and rational discussion to political debates. Am I always successful? No, not by a long shot. But, that doesn't mean I don't try.

Oh, I'm sorry. I just took your describing yourself as a conservative and then saw you claim no sway and therefore no implied responsibility for basically anything. My response to that is simply "fine, then don't bitch".
And Puuuuuuullllllllease spare us the gender preference crap. Who you give or take it from is of NO consequence to this debate. And claiming some special sub-category adds no credibility to what you're saying.

As someone who appreciates intelligent, civil discourse, I hope you stick around. It would be boring as hell if there were only Dems here.
