" I don't see why we have to mess us our archives with their pettiness"

Oh good grief! I don't want to to read their crap today either, but there are thousands of opinions here and yours and mine are only two of them, and I do agree that it is times like these that exposes just how low they are and I think that is a good thing. People need to see what a DNC sponsored site looks like, although I do wish folks would stick to only posting the links and not the content. That way, at least we have a choice whether or not to click on them.

It should have it's own thread but I think it is pretty informative how two sets of groups that differ in political persuasion are responding to this tragedy. On the FR thread the majority of the people are distraught by this horrible accident. If one reads the FreeRepublic thread and then removes the Howling\TSPR flame war and a few other replies the thread mainly consists of people reporting the latest information, people that are grief stricken, people that are encouraging others, people requesting prayer for the families of the astronauts and the nation as a whole, and people trying to sort out what happen and how.

On the DU thread it is viewed as a political event with the majority of the replies bashing Bush and wondering how much mileage he will get out of it politically. You have people blaming Bush for the accident, people bemoaning the fact that Clinton never got the break Bush got by having a tragedy on his watch(That there are people who would want this or 911 to happen for a better Clinton approval rating is beyond sickening and disgusting), people using the event to protest the coming war with Iraq, people espousing wild conspiracy theories involving Bush, people that are just mainly mean spirited, and a couple of people distraught by the tragedy.

I wish there was someway to spit the screen and run the FR and DU threads side by side and do a comparison as the event unfolded. It would be clearly evident that the liberals are insane. Jim Rob should print out both and send them a media outlets so the world could see the difference. I would love to see the mainstream liberal media trying to defend what is being said on DU. On one hand the conservative forum is mourning and reporting on the event while on the other the liberal forum it is being politicized to advance their cause while demeaning the death of fellow citizens.
