Some In Democratic Underground Worried About Backlash To Their Falwell Hate Rantings
NewsBusters ^ | May 17, 2007 | P.J. Gladnick

Almost from the moment that Jerry Falwell's death was announced on Tuesday, the leftwing nutroots at the Democratic Underground began gleefully dancing upon his grave. Here are just a few of their hate rants about Falwell:

Uncharitable or not, I am sorry his death was not more painful and drawn out. He did not deserve a relatively peaceful, painless and quick death.

Rot in Hell Falwell!

May Pat Robertson and James Dobson be next.

I'm putting on my dancing shoes and am going to look for his grave!

One more nail in the coffin for the hate crime that is religion.

Pretty strong stuff. Even a few of the more rational DUers thought it was over the top and are now worrying about the backlash to their extreme hate rants against Falwell. One of these DUers goes by the screen name of earthlover who is now desperately worried that this backlash will ultimately hurt the Democrats at the polls. Here is some of the nervous commentary by DUer earthlover in a thread titled, Is Our Response To Falwell's Death Hurting Our Cause?

Since Falwell's death, these boards have been inundated with posts, many of which demonstrated absolute glee at his death and judgementalism that rivaled Falwell's...

...Followers of Falwell, and there are MANY, are going to be really angry to read or hear about such hostility coming from our side, especially during this time. This will motivate them to fight their fight even harder, and they will have all kinds of ammunition now to further their cause and to try to convince everyone that Democrats are a bunch of hypocrites who show the same sort of hatred they disdain in others...

...Members of the conservative media are already picking up on the profuse hatred being spewed forth on these boards. So, to those who think these boards are just a means to "vent," remember one thing: the whole world is watching... 

...Most moderates, and most sane people, and ANYONE with common sense is going to see people dancing on the grave of a still-warm body as being reprehensible, stupid and just plain rude...

...So, the question I have for you: do you have a political death-wish? Democrats have a great chance of winning in 08. However, the sort of thing I have seen about Falwell is going to help...the Republicans! They already are skilled at getting elected by painting us as anti-religion. Who would have dreamt that Democrats would act the way they have done this past day? It is a nightmare to me, but it is a dream come true for the Republicans...

To answer your question, earthlover, yes you folks on the left do have a political death wish. Don't think the over the edge hate rants against Falwell in the leftwing blogosphere will go unnoticed. Much to your evident dismay they will definitely be remembered.

If you don't have the stomach to see the unfiltered sicko hate rants against Falwell directly in the Democratic Underground, you can read a large digest of their bile in the DUmmie FUnnies.

Saddam Hussein got better farewells from lefties than Falwell did.

^5 PJ. Newsbusters, coooool.

I feel truly sorry for those that said these horrible things in DU. What awaits them is unimaginable, both in this life (as they are extremely unhappy and bitter people with nothing to believe in) as well as after.

Sad is all I can feel for them.

I sure saw quite a few ‘comments removed by moderator’ here when Molly Ivins died. “Remove the beam from one’s own eye...’ folks (although we showed a bit more class than DU- well, I should hope so).

I have yet to see posts here on FR which compare to the posts I've read regarding Falwell on the lefty sites, and we're the haters? I hope this bites dems in the butt big time.

I certainly hope there is a BIG backlash. I am not a member of his congregation or his denomination, but I think he did a lot of good things for a lot of people.

For the left to be so gleeful over his death is sick. It shows just how evil people can be.

Are ALL the DUmmies homos? I find it impossible to read any of their rants without picturing a bunch of lisping sissy boys.

No one, NO ONE, is nastier than self-righteous “liberals”.

They’re really all full blown or nascent crypto fascists, racists and Nazis.

It will be hard to restrain conservative vitriol when Ted Kennedy, Jimmy Carter, and Jane Fonda pass away.

As an anti-Falwell liberal Christian and as a Democrat,

Oh brother! In other words, he's a secular christian. LOL You can't be all of that other stuff and still be a practicing Christian. It's just not possible. You're either a follower of Jesus Christ, or you are against Him. It's just that simple.

I didn't see much in the way of "I can't wait to dance on her grave" posts about Molly Ivins here. I think the only thing bordering on that was the suggestion that she was so filled with vitriolic hatred that it may have hastened her declining health.

I don’t think the outside world pays them much attention...

I went on to the DU to read the comments as they were being posted. There was 2 or 3 DU posters that were trying to stop the madness, but to no avail. The hate was feeding on itself. It was unbelievable.

When someone from the religious left passes away someday, Jackson or Sharpton, you can count on them being treated with tons more respect here on the FR.
