Why I don't grave dance...

[WarGamer]

After the passing of RBG... I saw the interwebz littered with knuckle dragging troglodytes talking trash about her...

A really good hearted and kind woman who served her country loyally...

If partisanship can make people so... inhuman...

I'll pass.

[FalloutShelter]

1. I agree.

Bad karma.

[TheProle]

2. Thank you.

[Hekate]

3. Thank you

[W_HAMILTON]

4. Oh, you!

And I'm sure you were right there calling them out for their cruel and inhumane comments -- I just know it!

[dutch777]

5. I generally agree. We all make some wrong decisions in life. In Trump's case though, I may make an exception.

[CrispyQ]

6. I disagree but I do save it for the worst of the worst.

I did a jig when Limbaugh bit it & I'll dance all night when Trump croaks.

[Irish_Dem]

7. It is human nature to take the measure of a person when they die.

Good and bad.

[Kingofalldems]

8. No one here is grave dancing.

[W_HAMILTON]

9. Yep. OP should point out these """grave dancing""" posts.

And if he is referring to the fact that people are bringing up justified criticisms of Lieberman, I would point out that the OP is also a big fan of presenting both sides of things and encourages everyone to have a full and complete understanding of the facts.

And, yes, Liberman's kneecapping Obamacare, his promoting the dark-money group No Labels, etc. are all very much part of his legacy.

[former9thward]

12. What you are suggesting is against DU's TOS.

No call outs.

[W_HAMILTON]

13. Then he should delete his OP.

[Kingofalldems]

16. Correct that is not gravedancing.

So again, don't understand the OP's concerns.

[beaglelover]

10. Agreed. It's a disgusting and petty trait.

[LeftInTX]

11. The only time I did was when Scalia died. Didn't do me much good.

The only reason I was happy was because Obama was gonna appoint a new justice...boy was I wrong

Why I don't grave dance:
I personally don't know the famous person who died
They're usually old and out of circulation at the time of their death, so my current outrage is directed at someone else...(Thomas, Thomas..Alito, Alito)

[Raine]

14. Thank you for saying it ... I totally agree. 🌹 nt

[Autumn]

15. That's your choice and I can respect that. There are assholes I will gladly gave dance when they die. Today one

of the big assholes died.

[FHRRK]

17. Good for you

But there is a difference in pointing out why Joe L. wasn’t a friend of Dems and grave dancing.

[KT2000]

18. We all have a legacy

Discussing what that is for a person who died is not grave dancing. In Lieberman's case we are all living with the consequences of his legacy and that is speaking the truth.

[harumph]

19. I'm not a grave dancer per se,

but I'll raise a glass in gratitude.

[Happy Hoosier]

20. Meh. To paraphrase Clarence Darrow....

I’m don’t generally wish men dead, but I do read some obituaries with delight.

No… Mark Twain did not say that.

[twodogsbarking]

21. I too agree, with some possible exceptions.

[catbyte]

22. There's only one grave that I will not feel bad about dancing on. The rest,

kinda creeps me out. I'm not a big believer in karma, but it does seem wrong. Except for that one, lol. 😉

[ShazzieB]

33. I know exactly what you mean!

[CCExile]

23. So my idea of a

U.S. National Dancehall to be constructed over his eventual grave would be wrong. I can see that. Still want it, tho'.

[58Sunliner]

24. Huh, I didn't see any grave dancing, and people are entitled to their opinion.

Especially when they are pointing out, on a political website, the effects of the politics of the deceased. Nothing inhumane about that. He couldn't defend his actions alive, so death makes little difference. He was a real piece of work.

[COL Mustard]

25. Take the high road.

It's less traveled, and the scenery is better.

Of course, there's one exception to that rule that I look forward to celebrating.

[LisaM]

26. I agree.

I have very mixed feelings about Lieberman but I think he was a decent guy. Did he let me down? Yes, but that's about all I will say.

[PortTack]

27. A better person than me McGee!

[getagrip_already]

29. yeah, no reason for celebration for sure... but

also no reason to sit shiva. I'm going about my day without regard one way or another.

[surfered]

28. No grave dancing, with the exception of...

…Hitler, Limbaugh, Pol Pot, Tojo, and I’m sure I’m forgetting a few more…

[Silent Type]

30. +1. trump is an exception and plenty of others, but there's too much hatred in this country.

[PatSeg]

31. Yes, Trump would be an exception for me

The world will be a better place once he is no longer in it.

That said, I don't like grave dancing as a rule. I find it tacky and uncivilized when people on the right do it and I don't want to be identified with such behavior.

[LeftInTX]

38. If he's confined to a nursing home and out of commission, I will just go, "meh"

Now if he's running for president.......

[LeftInTX]

43. With my luck, he'll be 100 and I'll be 90.

I will probably have dementia and won't remember who he was.

[Mr.WeRP]

32. Agree

[BlueKota]

34. I don't "grave dance," in regards to people who I share

normal policy disagreements with. I may think their wrong headed and not like them, but if they don't wish me or others harm I wish them no serious ills either.

However if I had been alive when Hitler and Stalin were terrorizing their own citizens and the world, I refuse to feel guilty in admitting, I would have wished for and celebrated their demise. As I will celebrate those of any current or want to be dictators in the world, as their exit from this world would likely save the lives of countless others they victimize or plan to victimize.

[dchill]

35. To me, "Fuck that guy" is not grave dancing.

It's a reasonable response to all the lauds and accolades for a guy whose biggest contribution to government was singlehandedly killing the public option part of the affordable care act that would have actually made it affordable! So, without dancing of any kind, fuck that guy.

[Marcuse]

36. Yes, they did that to RBG. I won't dance. Why should I?

[markodochartaigh]

37. As far as RBG is concerned,

I think that she might have had been pretty sure that McConnell would not permit a hearing on a Democratic supreme court nominee. At the time it would have seemed crazy, but in hind sight we can see that this unprecedented ploy is what he actually did. The supreme court justices are some of the most well-connected individuals in the country. I think that it is possible that she thought that McConnell could hold out for a few months, but since it looked like Hillary would win, either the Senate might be in Democratic hands or he couldn't hold out for four years.

[FSogol]

39. Yeah no post like that appeared on DU.

Straw man much?

[edisdead]

40. How about grave pissing?

Or maybe grave spitting?

Look, there is a universe of difference between RBG and these people. Lieberman was a prick that was trying to actually help sell out democracy. Fuck him. The only way I wouldn’t piss on his grave is if I was dehydrated.

[GoodRaisin]

41. Probably send my dog over to do it. Where is he being laid to rest?

[Earth-shine]

44. Don't forget the asparagus! It makes for a more potent experience.

[betsuni]

42. I will. Do a little Willis dance at midnight in pointe shoes and tutu on graves waving rosemary, for remembrance.

Some people deserve it.
