RE: "If you really want to be appalled, go to DU's "LBN" and read the posts under "Falwell being in Critical Condition", and he hasn't even passed on."


I wonder how many FReepers thought about their hypocricy before they posted these "Cochran is burning in hell" comments on this thread. I wonder how many of them think that their vicious comments are more justified than the "May Falwell rot" kinda stuff of DU today.

To me, both of these posting factions are equally cruel, nasty, and hyperbolic. Though I've never had any love or support for Cochrans brand of slick race-baiting (and dividing) or Falwell's authoritarian (anti-) moral attitudes, neither of these men are truly evil people, and neither of them deserve our outright scorn on the day of their death. May we get at least a day's peace when we pass before others are ripping us apart like the FReepers and DUmmies are doing today.

I respected Cochrane. I thought he was an intelligent, committed man, driven by a genuine desire to do good, and no matter how I may have disagreed him, I felt he did his job professionally and respectfully.

But I still can't resist...

Granted there are always some that are over-the-top everywhere. But our few "baddies" can't hold a candle to the pure, venomous hate that inhabits DU and the extreme left. They can't tolerate defeat and being out of power, and are infact a dangerous lot.
