  •  I just wish you didn't speak ill of the dead. (2+ / 0-)

    There are plenty of living people that deserve this kind of scorn.

    Basic decency isn't conditional, and this is a tenet of basic decency.  

    You've lowered yourself considerably here, and us along with you.

    •  And I wish Wellstone's funeral wasn't abused (4+ / 0-)

      So... guess that makes us even.

      After all, my teensy insignificant diary is so much like that debacle, both in scope and egregiousness and long-term impact.

      While we're at it, let's talk Coretta King's funeral.

      Or is there a good archtype of the mighty wingnut wurlitzer being respectful of the death of a liberal icon you'd like to choose from?

      As I've told another concerned and sympathetic soul here, collecting a bit of rage at all his damage was my GOAL.  Sorry you disagree with the methodology, but the man was a rat bastard that did more to harm our nation in his life than anyone I can think of, and in grabbing these quotes from here and there, I found plenty of people voicing identical sentiment.  And he wasn't some doddering fool -- he was a talented, elitist SOB.  So, hell no!  I am not going to 'gracefully' sit by while the wingnuts and pundits get at their canonization of him.

      Insomnia be damned; I'm going to bed.  This tut-tutting is just silly.

        Keep on using evil as your standard, and you'll be just as twisted as the people you are referring to.

        When it comes to basic decency, you don't look around first to see what the idiots are doing.  You just do the right thing.

        But you're right, this is silly.  You already know it, just chose to act on your emotion instead of your good judgment.  You can do better!

          First, bite me for even remotely insinuating that what I've done is 'their level'.

          Second, I can mock a rat bastard (dead or alive) and keep my integrity and immortal soul intact.  I checked the warranty info on my left heel and it says so right in paragraph 16-B.  Or is that foot fungus...
