2. I'm ALMOST sorry I clicked on that link. There are some DISGUSTING...

... expressions of a lack of concern about acts of aggression towards the members
of that vile pig's family.
.
As in the concept of "HE shoulda thought of his family members before HE acted."
.
I would be troubled if I were to see this on a teabagger site. I can only hope the
lack of evidence of some basic humanity that I've seen on THIS site comes from
conservative lurkers -- not from the people we would hope we could identify WITH.
I mean, we ARE a big tent, but some of the SHIT spewed by some of the people in
that thread could give an unbearable Dutch Oven to the largest circus tent in the
world (sorry -- apparently, even when mortified, I can't he'p myself).
.
.
.
Some of that crap is downright sociopath scary -- though I have to keep reminding
myself that, all-too-often, we can be smeared with the impotent and ultimately
meaningless spewings of rage and hatred from anonymous keyboard warriors.

I feel the need for an hour or so of watching Teletubbies.

He was a ancestor on my father's side.
