I'm not angry with the DUers - theri stupidity and ignorance I have come to expect... here at FR, however, i was hoping that the people would be above that... but alas, there have been posts this morning blaming the columbia disaster on the fact that there were minorities on board, now I see my fellow freepers blaming it on Abortion (i.e. God is punishing us...) - no, I'm not bothered by teh freaks at DU - I AM sickened by the reactions of some of my fellow freepers...

There are always people on the fringe who think we deserved it for one reason or another but there also seems to be a more general conversion of grief emotion into anger. I would love to find a good reason to attack Iraq, but "they were gloating" is propagandistic at best.

Other than that idiot Joyful here, I haven't seen any of those and I certainly join you in the sickening feeling if that is the reaction anywere here at FR. I was staying with the original 2,000+ post and saw only compassion, tears, some good scientific analysis, and angry reactions from those of us who checked over at DU and were amazed at the evil which lurks there.

Sometimes it is hard to tell the extreme Right from the Islamofascists from the moderate (much less extreme) Left.

The DUmmies used the race and gender card. Maybe it was just a post reporting what was said there. Many people were shocked about the DUs lack of humanity today. Everything there was political hate today.
