Republicans are only "respectful" to liberals when they are dead.

Slime, smear, lie, impugn, scold, condescend, slander...but once they kick the bucket, it's time to be all reverant and nice.

Fucking hypocrisy. It's a little late for your fake concern and outrage when the person in question is dead.

1. What?!!!? Not even then. (are you joking?) nt

4. Hence "respectful" in quotation marks.

It's fake respect, and it's only being conveyed because they think it'll score points.

Coretta Scott King dedicated her life to nonviolence and social equality. George W. Bush is the personificiation of the opposite of everything the woman stood for. Nobody should pretend to be shocked that her funeral was a proclamation of what she stood for in life.

9. I'd just come from reading EarlG's post about the

non-funeral attending repubs smearing the service. It never crossed my mind you were talking about the dingleberries who were there. :)

2. And they get particularly angry when a liberal icon dies and it looks

like it could turn into a transformational lesson about love or integrity or peace or justice.

3. I wonder if any republicans will be at Jesse Jackson's funeral?

Hopefully a long way off, I'm not wishing Jesse a premature death.

6. no they arent. they are disrespectful even in death. they took her

funeral and trashed it. it was beautiful, beautiful things were said, it was an honoring of a woman and her life, and they didnt talk about that at all, just the slight they felt was given to bushie. they are not respectful. they couldnt have been anymore disrespectful

7. Actually it's:

"Slime, smear, lie, impugn, scold, condescend, slander...but when they kick the bucket and get a little actual attention, it's time to put politics aside."

Basically it's 'suppress the message'. That's the only constant.

8. No way! They're still wanting them to keep quiet when they're dead.

They won't let anybody else speak for them, either.

10. Kick nt

11. "The only good liberal is a dead liberal."

That's the conclusion I can draw on what the Republicans think of us.
