It seems like pretty much every world event gets accused of being "suspiciously timed" around here, so why not this guy's death?

One call from Karl, and you too could wind up swimming with the fishes.

Yeah, every major news event that happens is a distraction according to some DUers.

Rove did it.

19. Uh, right.
For those who believe someone's daddy, I mean, god pulls the switches, I guess that would be the way to look at it.

5. Well the headline on CNN says...
"'Crocodile Hunter' Steve Irwin dies, Al Qaeda official captured"

http://www.cnn.com/2006/EDUCATION/09/04/transcript.tue/

Was the stingray Al Qaeda?

;)

10. No, he constantly flirted with danger and death....
in regards to his TV shows.

Does that make him less of a person? No!

Does that make him a 'neo-con' (like I've seen in other posts)? No.

All it tells me, is that he was adventurous with some 'dare-devil' added in.

13. We must fight the sea rays over there so we don't have to fight them
over here.

I said that earlier and I mean NO disrespect to the Irwin family. I am merely pointing out the unbelievable lunacy of this Republican adminsistration and their plan to constantly frighten the sheep.


There was a PDP titled "Stingrays Determined To Attack Inside Barrier Reef". Unfortunately, Bill Clinton's penis built a wall around that intelligence and it never saw the light of day.

21. Oh, for crying out loud!
Whether you liked him or not, he was a good man and now he's dead.
Can we show some respect around here?
This is the Democratic Underground, not Freeperville.

I've been led to expect better manners and some class from Liberals.
YOU have led me to expect better.

23. Nobody respected or liked him more than I did, so back off.
Edited on Tue Sep-05-06 12:49 AM by beam me up scottie
People deal with grief in different ways, my family does it with black humour.

The point the op was making was how ridiculous it is for DU to make everything a conspiracy, it wasn't the least bit disrespectful of Steve Irwin.

24. Besides, we're plotting our revenge as we speak
Mark my words. The stingrays will pay. Oh yes they will.

Would Surf Ninjas be under S or N in the yellow pages?
