For the Washington Post's Petula Dvorak the sight of American college kids celebrating the death of Osama Bin Laden outside of the White House gates, on Sunday night, was "almost vulgar." In a May 2 story Dvorak described the scenes of joy as "one part Mardi Gras and two parts Bon Jovi concert" but then went on to say "It felt a little crazy, a bit much. Almost vulgar" and went on to admit "my first reaction was a cringe."
Of course Petula Dvorak finds the celebration of Osama’s death “almost vulgar.”
The left wants muslim fanatics to kill as many Americans as possible because they’re too cowardly to do the job themselves. American leftists are sobbing from sea to shining sea.
I’m sure he also finds it vulgar that in 1945 Americans danced in the streets when Hitler ventilated himself. He probably cries tears of joy watching old newsreels of Stalin starving the kulaks and farmers.
Note to Dear Petulant Petula Dvorak: I/We were just having our Wellstone Memorial Moment!
Nah-Nah-Nah,Nah-Nah-Nah Goodbye!
I can’t count how many times in the last few hours I’ve read “I feel happy about Osama being killed but I don’t want to celebrate” Like this reporter with “cringing” and “vulgar”
What is wrong with celebrating victory? My personal enjoyment of it - or those who are terrified of celebrating it - changes nothing in the overall War on Terror. Nothing on this whole Earth will change because I celebrate Osama’s demise.
Why do people feel the need to hedge as if their reactions will cause some seismic shift in world politics?
Anyone believing this was a spontaneous demonstration at the White House does not know how these things work.
But I was looking at it and thinking “this ought to really P.O. the sand rats.”
This was no different than Obama’s mobs in Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen, Libya and Bahrain getting their marching orders of “spontaneity”.
This was Obama 2012 complete with US flags handed out, Obamaniac college children and CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN signs.
In the movie Posse, outlaw Bruce Dern told law man Kirk Douglas that is was HORSESHIT in Douglas using Dern’s dead body to get elected to Washington.
This is Obama bullshit.
What kind of nation is America now when mobs go out like 3rd world trash cheering that a terrorist is dead?
Americans did not act this when Adolf Hitler was dead. There was composure and dignity in being pleased a threat was dead, but Americans did not act in such disgusting low class outburst complete with ABC covering another “Smear the Tea Party” staged event.
Using a dead terrorist and psychotic children to run on for 2012............head shot Gabrielle Giffords...........America you are now Pyongyang.
This is the change you believe in as Obama has turned you in barbarians at the sadists gate of the White House.
Reporters flushed with elation that their Obama got bin Laden.............their gangsta finally murdered someone they could hang their hat on.
I don’t even recognize this America any longer....

It is disgusting but exactly what I would expect from progressives...they love death...a culture of death is all they understand.
You are far from alone. Everyone I know feels the same way.
Agree - when I got up this morning and turned on the tube to see these crowds, my first thought was that these kids think this was VJ Day and the endgame.
I wish I could have joined in....there was a crowd forming at the Bush house in Dallas, too. I was singing “ding dong the witch is dead...” sitting at my computer and watching the news. Heck....I was even doing some chair dancing.
IMO - I don’t care how they got in front of the White House or World Trade Center - I was just happy that the MSM showed jubilant celebration of Americans at the news - as they have shown radicals (who hate America/Americans) celebrating when the planes hit the towers and pentagon, etc. before.
Celebrating the death of another human being is always crass and tasteless, and I say that as someone who believes firmly in the death penalty and the right to use deadly force in defence against burglars and violent criminals...
“Something did not feel right about the flash mob in front of the White House. They were mostly white college kids. I know a lot of those types and the ones I know are just not plugged in to the Bin Laden thing. Bring up his name and most will look at you puzzled.”
The college kids you know are pretty damned stupid. These students (at least the early arrivals) were from Geo. Washington University, a few blocks away from the White House. A 5-10 minute walk. You don’t think these are politically astute students? They chose to go to a $50K/year college in DC because they’re puzzled about OBL?
A few things to note: 1. GWU has a significant GOP presence on campus; 2. a high percent of its students hail from NY/NJ. Even the Dems among them - who’d have been in elementary school on 9/11/01 - would have had friends whose families were directly affected by events of that day.
Where were the black people? Who knows, but Times Square was even whiter than the White House crowd.
I felt sober about the whole thing - very serious feelings more than jubilation because I know that KSM is still alive. I did hear fire fighters from across the street where I live shouting and I can’t blame them. I just feel more serious because this is not over - not by a long shot. One down and millions to take his place.
Initial reaction: ‘alright!’ and ‘awesome!’ in our household. Would you like some (mild) cheese with your whine?
Czeck your attitude, Kratochvil.
funny you say this as I said the same to my wife this morning, most of these idiots were in 5th grade when this happened.
The camera work was great for them though, focus in the middle and make it look thousands if not millions were there.
Yes, it was almost as vulgar as the Muslims celebrating 9/11.
