The hatefulness of the Left knows no bounds when a conservative passes away, but when one of their own dies the hallowed halls of heaven are awaiting their savior as they glorify the beloved path he walked. And woe to him who dares question the idol of their worship. Bits of gray matter are clinging to the shards of leftist skulls as they bemoan the passing of Howard Zinn, the Marxist anarchist known for his revisionist history.
Progressive fans are flocking to twitter and leftist media lamenting Zinn’s demise.
“This world has certainly lost one of it’s most profound voices today.”
“Howard Zinn’s passing is the greatest loss to America since Karl Marx.”
“The world is darker without Howard and his voice, now silent, will be missed by all ‘true’ Americans.”
Some tweeters suffer delusions President Obama should have used the State of the Union address as a platform to recognize Zinn, while over at the Nation leftist drivel is spewing like lava from Mount Kilauea as progressives lay blame for his death,

Almost everybody dies sooner or later.
He meant to say since Karl Malden and Groucho Marx.
A man who lived a wasted life. He had no faith in God and denied Him in this life now he has eternity to lament his awful decision and mindset.

Now that’s a loss I can like.
Like most Marxists, Zinn never realized that he lived by false constructs. Everything from Marx’s hand was a rationalization of his personal experience of the age of Metternich. He would have been better off reading Tocqueville, because America during that time was a very different world and Marxist categories do not apply. America owes more to John Wesley than to German idealism.

Libs at work tried to get me fired. I told the boss "F 'em, I protected their rights for 20 years, they're not going to squash mine now."
I doubt seriously that many on our side would mourn Zinn's passing.It's hard to not think bad thoughts of someone who so blatantly did rewrite our history.
