“A handful of comments have been removed. That’s not “a whole bunch of hate” by “a lot of Freepers”. That’s a few uncouth people shooting their mouths off. The vast majority of comments have been very respectful.”
I guess I always thought this was a respectable group above the fray, however a whole bunch of this ugliness is hate and with as many comments removed it is a LOT!
AND I’m not jumping on your opinion I’m agreeing with Kate’s opinion.
Come on. Again, a handful of people making uncouth comments that get deleted does not reflect badly on FR.
I just learned of Beau Biden's death and scanned this entire thread before posting my own comments.
Here's the thing: Some people are just mean and spiteful under any condition. They don't recognize that politics typically end at one of two places: The Hospital entrance, or the Funeral Home entrance.
Respectful and learned people on this thread offer their condolences and sympathies because they know a Parent isn't supposed to bury their Child.
In Joe Biden's case, this is the second child he's buried from his first marriage in which his first wife and daughter were killed in an accident.
Personally, I cannot imagine what Joe Biden's going through at this moment. Lord knows that man has gone through some really hard times, more than many of us will ever see. All I can do sitting here in Flyover Country is to offer my sympathies and prayers for him and his family at this time. That seems to me to be the natural, respectful and sympathetic response towards a fellow human being.
