I am not sure if this is proper FR edicate, but I was curious to know how DU was reacting to Ronald Reagan's passing. As you can imagine, many comments were dispicable, but it is amazing to see what hate drives people to say. For example:
(Im sipping some excellent German white wine now)
To Ronald Reagan,
...may you rot in hell you sorry evil creep!
>clink glasses<
Or how about this?
I just uncorked some wine that Ive laid up for special occasions, so as to celebrate.
"Good riddance, and I piss on his tombstone (metaphorically speaking").
Or this is a keeper...
Whoopee!!
I can hardly believe I outlived the old bastard!
Where do I go to piss on his grave?
Don't worry about them, they're only destroying themselves.
When things get boring at FR (hardly ever) I go over to DU & watch the crazies. They actually believe that they are correct & it is so entertaining to read their posts. I know a few liberals but I never hear them talk like they do at DU even tho I am sure that is what they think or I should say feel.
This isn't appropriate and other threads in this same vein have already been deleted. No DU crap here!
And, speaking of Clinton, I always, always expected of him filth, corruption, dishonesty and deception. The only time he fooled me was when Nixon died. I remember being stunned at how gracious Clinton was and how out of character. It was one of the very, very, very few times that Willie showed any class. Reagan, OTOH, ALWAYS showed class.
FTR, I have never wished that any physical harm come to the Clintons. I will not rejoice, in the least, if I see it happen. But I would like to see them behind bars.

Think it will be any different here when Clinton kicks?
bttt
And we have our share of folks with prickly and unpleasant personalities (in cyberspacem at least). Not as many as DU, but enough to make me think that we cannot feel that we have the monopoly on courtesy and thoughtful debate.
Some of our threads dealing with homosexuality bring out responses so hateful that I sometimes wonder if they are posted by leftists trying to make us look bad. I think some of the posts probably are done by leftists, in fact.
There are the people who believe that once they have cited a verse from the Old Testament, the debate is over and they won. While they may be right, they need to remember that we need to persuade people have not already reached the same conclusions as we have, and may not even accept all the same premises.
At this moment, the Democrat Party is definitely writhing and screeching like a demon being exorcised from a person (in movies, at least-- in the Bible, I seem to remember that demons simply obeyed Jesus and left without throwing a huge tantrum, but I may misremember the details.)
They are in full meltdown as they see that they have lost their monopoly on the mass media. The Democrats, I mean, not the demons.
They are small-minded, self-obsessed losers. They hate RR because he was such a winner (and the fact that he beat their cherished Soviet Union did not help).
You can't compare the two men. One honored women and the rest of our country another did everthing he could to dishonor us.
I remember when Wellstone and his poor family was killed, there were a lot of Freepers who were shocked and saddened by their deaths. Many couldn't stand his beliefs, but respected him nonetheless. Oh, there were a few jerks who made tasteless comments, but the admins quickly pulled them.
Compare this to the behavior of the folks over at DU, who not only try to outdo each other with hate, but the admins of the site let this sickness fester and spread.
I said it on another thread and I'll say it again: The left has become so full of pure and mindless hatred that they might as well break out the sheets and join the Klan. I see no difference between the two at all anymore.
"Thing it will be any different here when Clinton kicks?"
I would like to believe that we have more class than to stoop to the level of DUers.
Yes. Considerably.
...Unfortunately, some folks here act the same way toward "all" democrats, or anyone whose politics differ from the RP line...
I agree with you. I was going to visit some friends of mine at a sci-fi convention last night. I decided not to go since I knew there would be some there who are rejoicing over our dear friend's death. I thank God Ronald Reagan was here on earth to lead me away from the evils of the Democratic party.
Well, GK isn't really the bitch-slapping type. ;~D
Thanks for the report about it though! I always forget to listen, but I do enjoy PHC.
It´s always sad when people celebrate death of others. I mean, one should never dance on the grave, not on graves of executed and not on the graves of great statesmen. People who do so are sick and have no respect for the rules of life.
May President Reagan rest in peace.
I believe your motives are good in reporting what you have found at DU. There is often a desire to warn others by shining a light on the depravity of the fringe Left. However, just as one reads the scriptures of the Holy Bible to draw closer to God, one risks drawing closer to Satan by exposing oneself to the darkness at DU. I say this with all sincerity; you would be wise to stay away from that web site.
I think most FReepers, instead of spewing nasty words about Clinton, will say something like, "May God have mercy on his soul for what he did to this nation."
