ate last night, to her credit, Sarah Palin posted the following statement on her Facebook page on the passing of Ted Kennedy:

I would like to extend our sympathies to the Kennedy family as we hear word about the passing of Senator Ted Kennedy. He believed in our country and fought passionately for his convictions.

Several of her Facebook pals lauded her "classy" move.

Others? Not so much.

"thank you for maintaining my belief in you as a real american, however this country is now much better off, one less socialist, anti freedom senator."

"Now if we could just talk God into taking Arlin Spector, Harry Reid,and Nancy Pelosi America would be Eutopia!"

"good riddens"

"If he makes it into Heaven (& I doubt he will with his stance on abortion) I hope that God makes him babysit all the aborted children for eternity. God have mercy on his soul."

"Ted Kennedy dying has made my day...."

"He cannot fillibuster God. Good ridencance to a sorry person."

"It's about time, we can only hope Pelosi and Ried will be joining him very soon. All 3 of them should be buried in Moscow for whom they work so tirelessly."

... and perhaps my favorite:

"Sarah - I need to contact you. I need to know how to fight this current govt. We must find a way to get them removed, standing by and watching all the evil occur, is like watching water run quickly down the drain, each of our freedoms gone daily. Please advise me what direction to take my group. Thank you"

1. Good riddens?

[Barack_America]

6. Good ridencance?

[d_b]

8. probably mickey

[ChairmanAgnostic]

9. drunk AGAIN? I'ts spellt "ridencance"

sheesh.


oh, and cheers.

[Barack_America]

47. No, it's "good riverdance"...

Everyone noes that!

;)

[The Straight Story]

2. DU celebrates Reagan death/etc/ in same fashion

Guess that makes us birds of a feather?

[hobbit709]

4. But at least we could spell the words correctly.

[Toasterlad]

37. EXACTLY!

The only real difference between our side and theirs is that we can spell.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

7. You're comparing apples and oranges.

Ronald Reagan was a horrible person who deserved to die after years of suffering.

[cyndensco]

14. The repub callers on Washington Journal were vile.

Several of the callers on the Dem line were outraged. Finally a repub called us out saying we would be equally as celebratory if bush had died in office. Hate to admit it, but he had a point.

[tekisui]

23. What did bush do positively for Americans?

Compare it to Kennedy and you will see the difference.

[cyndensco]

39. Oh, I see the difference.

There is no comparison in my mind between bush and Edward Kennedy. None. Kennedy changed the world for the better, bush was useless.

To them, though, Kennedy was the evildoer and bush was the one doing great things for their country. They are ugly today. If it had been bush, we would be the ugly ones.

I got the caller's point: we cannot call foul when we do it ourselves. And, to be honest, I do not want to be as hate-filled as they are. I KNOW we are better than them!

[wolfgangmo]

43. I agree

Although I must admit that I have been too touched by death to wish it on any other family, no matter the circumstances or the person involved.

Yes, even Bush or Reagan. Every death is a trajedy for someone.

[Clintonista2]

25. How many hundreds of thousands of people did Kennedy murder vs Bush?

[hootinholler]

33. Oh hell no we wouldn't have

I know I would have been dancing much harder than they are now.

-Hoot

[Javaman]

22. oh yeah, the guy who called katsup a vegetable and gave us death squads

is so much like Ted Kennedy wanting national health care.

:eyes:

[The Straight Story]

26. I did not compare the two of them, I compared their 'fans'

They had their reasons to not like Kennedy, like we had our reasons to not like Reagan. Why can't both sides spend a little less time finding the negative about someone when they die and instead see something positive?

We bitch about it when they do it then turn around and do the same.

The term hypocrite comes to mind.

[mitchum]

32. Okay...Reagan fed some very hungry worms when he died...

see...I found something positive to say about him

[treestar]

29. The day Darth Cheney dies is going to be a real test for DU

Wonder if we can stay classy on that one.

Same for Bush, father and son.

[npk]

40. I'm thinking McCain goes before Cheney

Evil never dies. Cheney will live to be 100 I sadly believe.

[mitchum]

30. No, Reagan was a piece of shit dirtbag who truly fucked up this country

[EFerrari]

36. You must be joking. Ronald Reagan was directly responsible

for the kidnapping, torture and deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, and that's not counting AIDS deaths or the people he turned out onto the streets to die of their mental illness.

[BOSSHOG]

3. Oh Please Sarah tell me what to think, what to do

should I blow up a woman's clinic? Buy teabags? Insist Obama keep his government out of my medicare? Oh please Sarah, I'm begging!

[Soylent Brice]

10. lol

[JBoy]

15. Please twitter my orders.

[emulatorloo]

44. LOL n/t

[stuball111]

31. Never occured to this person

that in order to "Get this government out of power" that we live in a democracy. First, they would have to get their collective heads out of their "christian" asses, then come up with something intelligent to add to the country, then go through the process of DEMOCRACY, and be voted in, just like the current party did! But is proves that it's not about who is governing and what they can do to improve the lives of their fellow citizens for them, Like Teddy did, they equate it to the fucking Super Bowl! Which "team" is going to win! If My Jets don't beat the Rams, I'm going to blow up the Edward Jones Dome!

[Geek_Girl]

46. Thanks for the laugh

:rofl:

[JeanGrey]

5. How disgusting. And that is different from what we do, here,

when someone dies we don't like, how?

[DrZeeLit]

11. Try as I might... I just don't understand what freedoms they have lost?? Huh???

[prolesunited]

20. I don't get that either

At least under Bush, we could actually list them and point to real legislation and executive orders.

[Warren DeMontague]

12. Pelosi, Reid and Kennedy all work for Moscow?

They work for this guy?



Or this guy?



Or did someone on Palin's FB page not get the memo that the Cold War ended? :shrug:

[arcadian]

13. "I hope that God makes him babysit all the aborted children for eternity."?

That is one misguided fucked up person, the author of that. Yeah, honey, it's all clouds and harps and singing His praise for all eternity. A concept I'm sure this person cannot grasp.

[graywarrior]

16. Her base is a cancer.

They are twisted and mean spirited, knuckle dragging, drooling mental defectives.

[a la izquierda]

17. How do I move to Eutopia??

Please inform.

[jimshoes]

21. It's just across the river from Europia.

Then a sharp left at Nirvania.

[a la izquierda]

34. I think bad spelling and love...

of all things Palin is a requirement.

I'd fail at all of the above.
;)

[johnnie]

35. I can see Eutopia from my house

[Joanne98]

18. Her ilk speaks for her. We know what she thinks!

[Blue_In_AK]

19. Ignore the bitch and her facebook.

And I make no apologies for the word.

[HughBeaumont]

24. The Stupid Failin Crew can DIAF. Bastard shitters.

"Good riddens". Can these people successfully pick their NOSES? I doubt it.

[malaise]

27. I may go over there with some of those

'YouthinAsia' pills from Sarah's death panels.

[Hepburn]

28. I assume the last message was from Oily Taints? n/t

[Dramarama]

38. "Anti-Freedom Senator"

Irony

[wolfgangmo]

41. She needs to top off the oil in her spellchecker.

The idiots are out in full strength and they are attempting to right, er, left, er, write.

[maryellen99]

42. if you think this is bad

wait until Bill and Hillary die :(

[Geek_Girl]

45. Oh good god those people are insane

I honestly don't see how these right wing shit stirrers feel good about themselves, knowing that they've contributed so heavily to these peoples delusions.

"Sarah - I need to contact you. I need to know how to fight this current govt. We must find a way to get them removed, standing by and watching all the evil occur, is like watching water run quickly down the drain, each of our freedoms gone daily. Please advise me what direction to take my group. Thank you"

If I was Sarah Palin I would seriously be afraid of the monster I created. One of these psychopaths could turn on her one day.
