people who cry at reagan's coffin are sad, ridiculous idiots

[mopaul]

those who get teary eyed and reveal their absolute hypnosis and blind devotion to the reagan death cult, are sick. sad and sick.

[Chicago Democrat]

1. Wouldn't it be funny if somebody puked on him?

I wonder if CNN would cover that??

[Atlas Mugged]

17. Funny, yes....

...but freakin' hilarious if Bush 41 blew his cookies all over the casket.

[mopaul]

46. it's a parade!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Vickers]

2. I know! It's not like he was Elvis or something...

These folks have their priorities all messed up!

:spank:

[mopaul]

3. reminds me EXACTLY of elvis's death.........

and the real elvis fanatics diefied their fallen king and now the same is happening to rockin' ronnie.

[Cocoa]

11. me too

Reagan fans are upscale Elvis fans.

[devinsgram]

31. Maybe there will be Reagan sightings

You know they'll spotting working at 7-11.

[demnan]

4. I've never had the need to worship a king

that some people seem to have. I admire Bill Clinton, but I would never slavishly dote on his coffin after he is dead. I don't understand that. Didn't we fight two wars with Great Britain so we wouldn't have to worship a king?

[Malva Zebrina]

5. some caller on the Taliaferro show this morning

was disdainful of the way Bush will capitalize on this funeral to promote himself.

He said that Bush will walk his "cock a doodle do" and shed a tear or two.

Struck me funny the "cock a doodle do" imagery. It is exactly what he looks like--elbows out, palms facing backwards, and ass stuck out in order to keep balance in such an obvious unatural gait.

[ShaneGR]

6. Anyone who cries at your funeral is the same?

Just making a point.

[mopaul]

7. them too. and you're invited to verify it

[ibegurpard]

15. don't be ridiculous

perfect strangers aren't going to be attending MoPaul's funeral.

[Wapsie B]

8. Wonder if we'll have any

casket crawlers.

[Gin]

10. I cried when Diana died...her death brought my deeper sorrows to the

surface and I was able to release them...it had nothing to do with her...and I suspect some of those that cry at RR death are doing the same....a good cry works wonders.

Come January 05..I will cry with relief that our long nightmare is over.

[Beetwasher]

9. They're TRUE Americans! How Can One NOT Cry Over The

Death of the Glorious Reagan-Christ!!

Join the fun! Get the Spirit!

Are you all Un-American or sumpin'?!

Come on in to the Reagan Beatification and Ultimate Whorefest Extravaganza!!! Have fun! Get edumacated! Eat some ketchup! Get a piece of the Reagan-Christ while they last! They're going quick!

[IXLNXS]

12. Real Christians

Are starting to compare the Bush administration and presidency with the book of revelations.

I for one am not prepared to worship the one horned beast.

[Ishoutandscream]

39. Beetwasher - your posts have been brilliantly hilarious

You have been keeping me in stiches during all of this insanity. Keep up the good work.

[Ivan Sputnik]

13. People are so desperate

for a hero president that they'll project hero status on someone who didn't deserve it -- but "acted" the part for them. Sad.

[Zolok]

14. Easy now...

you may not like him but don't jump ugly on his supporters.

[Blue Wally]

24. They Vote!

And this election may be very, very close. We need every vote we can get. Yessir, yessir, President Reagan was avery great man, but President Bush is not President Reagan and we can do better.

[Zolok]

38. Very true....

the contrast between Reagan, especially the gauzy man on horseback now firmly enrolled in memory and Bush Jr. the stunted paunchy chimp-like sneak....will hopefully appall many many voters in due course.

[saigon68]

18. TAKE BONZO WITH YOU

[fujiyama]

19. I like what someone in TNR

said about Peggy Noonan -- it's like you expect her to create a funeral pyre and toss herself in it.

[TahitiNut]

21. That were me. That was here.

If it were a Viking funeral, she'd be seafaring toast. Candy Crowley's carcass could keep the bone fires burning for days, too.

[0007]

20. The irrational behavior toward a class 'B' actor to an icon

is strictly a promotional piece of work by the repukes. All the people that follow saint Ronnie fiasco are mentally unbalanced and committable

[dbt]

22. People who cry at Reagan's coffin are overwhelmingly WHITE.

Y'see any African American, Asian, Latino or Native American faces in them adoring throngs?

Well, I'll be damned. Another Great Communicator who spoke only to Aryan hearts? Who'da thunk it?

Heil Reagan.

:evilgrin:
dbt

[mopaul]

23. white, warped, weeping, wailing, wankers and weirdos

it is the perfect visual aid for the history books. all the white folks and crackers and honkys and homophobes and tim mc veigh's and tom delays, fuck them all, and they can communicate that from this great communicater.

[DemExpat]

26. I was also struck by the WHITENESS of Reagan's mourners and glorifiers....

the image projected has so very little to do with reality of what really constitutes Anerica.

I can only hope that this is the last death throes of an old-fashioned, inherently evil cultural power block.....

If not, I can only feel pretty hopeless. :-(

[bhunt70]

25. or maybe they are empathetic at the death of anyone.

get off your fucking high horse. my wife cried a bit last night because it made her sad and thought about her dad. She hates republicans almost to an irrational extent.

[mopaul]

27. your opinion is welcome here

[bhunt70]

29. so are your blanket statements.

It's not black and white.

[mopaul]

30. just saying, I respect your opinion

[bhunt70]

33. ok sorry..still drinking my morning coffee...

It's no excuse for my attitude but I do have a memo from the attorney generals office around here somewhere.

[mopaul]

36. my wife too, had a tug at her heartstrings, but it passed quickly

she knows i'm a radical asshole, she knew when she married me.

i know my opinions are harsh and even disrespectful, but i'm sincere.

and i know you and your wife are too

defeat bush

[DrWeird]

47. Nope. Remember Uday and Qusay?

These are the same people that cheered when they were killed. They even bought little Uday and Qusay beanie babies of their disfigured bodies.

And Uday and Qusay hurt less people than Reagan did.

[King Coal]

28. I saw this one lady say , "I used to be a Democrat,

but then Reagan turned me into a republican, and gave me hope." LOL!
Gad. Oh, and did I mention this was on Fox? Too funny.

[mopaul]

32. they are using the same metaphors they use for jesus now

he gave me hope,,,he changed me spritually, he made me happy

35. They prolly get paid to cry!

The idiots will do ANYTHING for a quick Easy Dollar! Anything but sweat for it that is!

[THUNDER HANDS]

42. at first I thought you were insensitive when you started ranting bout this

Now I think it's funny as hell. This has been so overblown I don't see how anyone could have anything other than contempt and disgust for this display.

[Galley_Queen]

43. Phuck Ronnie Raygun and Woohoo for Ted Rall

and I'm shocked by all the Dems in here blubbering over one of the worst presidents in history. Having lived through his policies, and being personally hurt by his policies, I could care less that he's dead. I just wish his legacy and all his old cronies weren't still squatting in the white house as I write. He was a horrible president, and regardless of how 'cheerful' he was, he was still the start of what we are still paying for - including the rightwing freaks pulling Chimpy's strings.

I'm more than disgusted at this media love fest. And BTW, I think Ted Rall is 110% right on. Maybe not PC, but he's right.

[NightTrain]

44. The coffin's not even open, fer chrissake!

Is it common for a dead president to have a closed-casket viewing period? :shrug:

[Batgirl]

45. kitschy melodrama

Some of them aren't so much paying their respects for the dead as they are trying to achieve a feeling of their own significance. They see themselves not as just participating in, but becoming a part of, an historical event. "Did you see me on the tee-vee?"

[scrotim]

49. For all we know, the "stiff" itself is back in Calif. in a deep freeze

I don't really get the "viewing" of a coffin either.

I think this has been standard at the Kennedy and Johnson funerals though.

My guess is most people go just to get in on the whole pomp and circumstance of it all. I'd go if it were Clinton, just to swell the numbers a bit and piss off Tom Delay and buddies.
