When a Democrat ex-president dies.....

[HEyHEY]

I don't want to hear ANYONE here bitching about all the terrible things they are saying on Freerepublic about the deceased. And what terrible people they are.

(Runs to flame proof cave)

[NMDemDist2]

1. bwahhhhhh a CAVE???? that won't save you!!! eom

[DenverDem]

2. When a DEMOCRATIC ex-president dies he won't have been a traitor.

The terrible things being said about raygun are THE TRUTH.

[Renew Deal]

6. Like: I have been waiting for 24 years to piss on his grave?

I guess it is the truth for some people, but has nothing to do with raygun.

[lanparty]

34. Wait a while ...

Piss with dignity. One thing you can learn from Reagan is that he was ALWAYS corgial. Try to be a bit more clever.

Reagan took take a full dump on a person and make him smile about it. This is a PR game. You aren't fighting a man, you're fighting a legend.

[Renew Deal]

46. Umm...

I am not saying that. Someone else posted that in what is now a pretty notorious thread.

[HEyHEY]

9. .....

I'm talking about stuff like.
"Fuck that bitch" - Regarding Nancy regan
"I'm glad that bastard is dead" - Regarding Ronald.

Hey any truthful critique is fine...but name calling and stuff....I don't agree with.

[DenverDem]

18. Posts like that are made by wrong wing instigators.

So they can use them as fodder on wrong wing boards.

The troll population around here is massive, many with over 1000 posts.

[NightTrain]

20. What's your proof?

:shrug:

[HEyHEY]

24. Yeah, I agree with half of what he said

I mean, yeah, it's ammo for the cons, but it isn't cons starting them.

[DenverDem]

26. What's your proof otherwise?

Yawn.

[NightTrain]

30. In other words, you're passing wishful thinking and opinion off as fact.

How very Reagan-like of you!

[DenverDem]

37. My conclusion about the source of these inflammatory posts is as valid

as your speculations.

Why do you hate America?

[JohnLocke]

48. HEy HEy is a respected member of this forum and an ex-moderator.

[DenverDem]

50. The question was not about hey hey

but about the source of inflammatory posts so over the top as to be obviously oposition plants.

[Just Me]

19. *smile*,...step out of your cave and receive a great, big hug,...

:hug:

Blow off peoples' "emotions on fire". It's a cathartic thingy.

It'll be ok.

[Renew Deal]

3. I agree.

(Runs behind you with 2 flame retardent suits.) ;)

[bluestateguy]

4. I will have that right

Because if you look at all of my posts you will find that I have been nothing but respectful of President Reagan and the mourning process. But point well taken.

[havocmom]

5. HEyHEy, to that, I say, here here (n/t)

[FleshCartoon]

7. I don't go there anyway, so I can do that. (n/t)

[Renew Deal]

8. Should I start a poll: Will you piss on reagans grave?

[HEyHEY]

10. Suprised it hasn't been done yet

[Renew Deal]

12. Here you go...

11. paul wellstone, rachael corrie.

why stop at presidents..

[Zen Democrat]

14. I don't disrespect the dead, but what would the Freepers say about Bill?

[HEyHEY]

16. Oh it would be terrible

I'd like to say we're better than that - but I've seen we are not.

[meow mix]

21. the difference is that reagan was a murdering criminal

whats so hard to understand about that?

[NightTrain]

27. Err.... Don't be so quick to count Clinton out as a "murderer."

Remember Kosovo?

[meow mix]

36. the difference there is that clinton actively did everything he could

to avoid causing deaths to innocents. while thier side pursues the killing of innocents as a "goal" and calls them subhumans/degenerates.

[HEyHEY]

32. If he was say.... a deathrow inmate

Would we accept the comments like "I'll piss on his grave!"

No we'd say - the man has paid his debt ..blah blah

[meow mix]

44. thatd would depend greatly on the nature of the crime. people in high

power postions certainly can exert a large amount of evil upon a population, more than the average joe.

reagan indeed belongs to a class of criminal very few people have ever touched.
hitler, nero, stalin..
your decency standard does not apply very well. imo =)

[Cooley Hurd]

17. And who cares what they say?

This is about your own dignity, not theirs. That said, Welcome to DU!:hi:

[bhunt70]

33. right on.

[lanparty]

38. They would dance in the streets.

The freepers will throw a big party when Bill bites the big one. But you can only keep the moral high ground if you act with dignity and sensitivity.

[meow mix]

45. televised dancing in front of pepsi machines /nt

[DBoon]

13. I have no problem with Mr. Reagan as a person

It's what he did as president (and before that as Governor) that I find appalling.

And I find the canonization of him by the right wing and the constant media attention absolutely sickening.

It's not the man's death I object to. Reagan himself effectively ceased to exist years ago. It's the almost religious ceremony about it all.

Like when one of the 20th century's great dictators died:

http://stalin.narod.ru/

[HEyHEY]

15. And that's fine to feel that way and make such comments

But when I see people saying crude insults that serve no purpose it makes me wonder.

[lanparty]

39. They should be careful ...

The right wing should be more careful about raising Reagan's pedestal so high. They'll never be able to reach him. They will diminish themselves in the process.

[UNIXcock]

Death

... True, death is final. Pissing on ANYONE's grave is bad karma

[NightTrain]

22. To see what they're saying on Free Republic, I'd actually have to go there

As such, you ain't never gonna hear me bitching about a goddamned thing they're saying on FR!

[HEyHEY]

25. haha...

yeah avoiding that outhouse is a good way to keep your faith in humanity.

[JVS]

23. Ok deal.

But I bet they won't have to deal with Operation Enduring Sanctimony that has plagued this board lately

[HEyHEY]

29. No they won't

Aren't you glad we at least let compassionate threads stay?

[JVS]

31. No

[HEyHEY]

35. haha...

If you're ever up my way stop by - "We can exchange insults over a bottle of whiskey"

;-)

[tigereye]

49. I seem to have missed the "operation"

guess I will have to dwell further. That is a pretty good term, though.

[JI7]

28. i don't ever want carter and clinton to die

[ContraBass Black]

40. All Good Things... (n/t)

[Darranar]

41. Name a Democratic president still living...

who was worse - or even as bad - as Reagan.

[HEyHEY]

43. But that isn't the point

We're conducting ourselves in a poor manner. If anyone wants to say "he was a bad leader, he screwed up the country" - fine. But I fail to see how namecalling does anything.

[outinforce]

53. Don't You See, HEyHEY????

Do you really not see how namecalling does anything?

Of course it does something -- it makes the person who namecalls feel so wonderful and good.

Especially since the dead cannot defend themselves.

It is my experience that small-minded people who call other people names (especially dead people) have litte real joy in their lives. THey are truly miserable people -- consumed with hate and never willing to able to forgive and to get on with their lives.

Instead, their only joy is in runnig other people down.

Then the wonder why they have so few real friends.

[Rex]

42. So let's see, a HANDFUL of DUrs openly are happy about his death.

But some people are ready to make it out as if DU is FULL of people who are gleeful of Rayguns demise. You self-rightous people make me sick.

[HEyHEY]

47. Hey, I'm self loathing - not self righteous - there's a difference.

But pardon me for suggesting calling him a "Piece of shit bastard son of a bitch who deserved to suffer and die in the manner he did." Is a bit childish.

[outinforce]

52. Speaking of "Self-Righteous"

You will, I hope, excuse me for saying this, but your post strikes me as having more that its fair share of self-righteous indignation.

I bet it feels real good, too.

[outinforce]

51. Anyone Here Old Enough To Remember the Death of JFK?

If you are, then you will remember that most of the nation was shocked and saddened at the death of JFK.

But not everyone.

There were some columnists, I remember (even as a kid of just 12) that wrote pure vile.

I don't recall anyone saying that they wanted to piss on JFKL's grave, but some of the things people said were almost as bad.

Even as a kind of 12, I recognized then that people who say such hateful things about the dead are very, very little people.

[UrbScotty]

54. Fox News

When Carter and Clinton die, Fox News will play Handel's "Hallelujah Chorus."

[robbedvoter]

55. How about "When a dem ex-president wins the Nobel prize"?

Why conjure death and not use a real life situation? remember what they did to Carter only last year? The entire "liberal" media? How noone even mentioned that the israel-Egypt peace accord is still in place - but lied that nothing Carter did led to anything good? remember that?
Why is death somehow connected with truth telling - or rather license from the truth?
