The sickos over at Kos never cease to amaze me. Irving Kristol died today. He was a great writer and thinker and admired on both sides of the aisle--even my own liberal father loved his columns and books.

Yet here I see a thread on DailyKos tonight where they are reveling in his death, and even hoping his wife (and Bill Kristol's Mom) Gertrude Himmelfarb would die soon too.

Here are the lovely comments...

Paging Bill O'Reilly. He's been silent on them for a while.

Walter Cronkite and Teddy Kennedy. And this is differnt...how?

We (some of us) did that stuff on Ted Kennedy too, so I guess it can go both ways. Just sayin’. No need to be shocked or anything.....

I don’t think those posters are American. Might be Brits or other Euros, but by the words used... not American

I don't recall Irving Kristol driving drunk and leaving an intern he knocked up to drown in a pond and then trying to cover it up to save his career.

And some people here worry about having ‘a civil discourse’ and ‘maintaining the high ground’.

I’d say no. 3 is British-English. “You were rubbish” is a Britishism.

Number 1 is American though: no-one in Britain knows who McCain is, let along give a damn about “Keating Cheating”, whatever the blue-rinsed hell that is.

Hear Hear!

A policy I wish more people on all sides would adopt!

Once Teddy “The Hiccup” arrived, God knew he needed Irving up there to straighten Kennedy’s ass out muy pronto.

wrecked, submerged car in the sky

I was thinking more of an underground lake...of fire.

Oh well, we all felt the same way when Ted Kennedy died.

Exactly. We have standards for the types of death we celebrate!

[AmericanInTokyo]

Neither do I.

[TMA62]

An example of “compassionate liberalism.”

[Charles Henrickson]

KOmmie glee alert!

[Grampa Dave]

I sure that Nancy Pelosi will come out in tears and denounce these vile remarks.

Probably not. A lot of these vile remarks are probably coming from her Gay Rainbow thugs.

[Grampa Dave]

BORe like Pelosi will ignore the vile actions of the left wing.

I turned BORe when he started whining about a few signs carried by our 9/12 people and “the lack of minorities”.

It happens here too. Did you not read the Kennedy comments here? As well as other Dems.

On that subject, a friend in LA posted a U TUBE video done by a lib interviewing the folks at the Tea Party. It is pretty bad with most of the folks responding sounding as though they have no clue of why they were there. I got on Facebook to call it for what it was and have been horribly attacked by Liberals. I have been called everything from a homophobe to “get off your lazy ass right winger”! These are from people I do not know and haven’t a clue about me. Most interesting is that they do not debate facts, they just call names.
