So Breitbart dies, and we're supposed to make nice and forget how evil he was?

[Hugabear]

As so many others have pointed out, he wasn't just another conservative commentator. This man went out of his way to destroy those he didn't like. His lies ended careers.

Now that he's gone, we should make nice, forget all about the evil shit he did, the lives he ruined, and give him respect?

Fuck that. The world is a better place without him. I don't support violence or the death penalty, but I don't mourn the deaths of those whose lives were dedicated to destroying others.

If that makes me a bad person, so be it.

[TheMastersNemesis]

1. Ditto

It would have been better if it was Rush Limpballs. He is another POS who we would be better without. He has destroyed so much that was good during his career. His latest vitriol really is so despicable.

[Dawson Leery]

2. Then there is this:

http://www.mediaite.com/tv/breitbart-friend-reveals-to-hannity-obama-harvard-tapes-will-be-out-in-a-week-or-two/

We are supposed to "shut up", but they can keep on throwing all the garbage they can find.

[Poll_Blind]

3. No, no you got it all wrong. Apparently a friend of a poster once met Breitbart and...

...it turned out he was a nice guy after all. See?



I mean...how wrong we all were.

[frylock]

26. not at all surprised to find that poster lending aid and comfort..

not surprised in the least.

[Ruby the Liberal]

4. Unlike the random shit spewers

who blather randomly on the radio and publish generic manifestos (talking to you, Hannity, Coulter, Rush, Bekkk), Dearest Andy targeted specific people and cost them their careers over manufactured bullshit.

No - that is not something that should be forgotten. Best to Shirley Sherrod and her suit. May she absorb every penny this ass clown scammed while he was alive.

Fuck Breitbart.

[MrModerate]

5. Of course not. But dismiss him with a flick, not a sledgehammer. As vile as he was . . .

He wasn't that important.

[randome]

15. Absolutely!

[Raine]

6. Yup, if he wanted people to speak well of him he shouldn't have been a piece of shit while alive

I won't say anything nice about him, I'm glad that asshole is dead. I'm only sorry his death was so easy and so fast.

[COLGATE4]

7. NFW. He was a nasty unprincipled

bomb thrower and liar to boot. The world is a better place without him in it.

[Chorophyll]

8. Unless you're looking for brownie points in heaven,

there is no reason to "make nice" about this evil P.O.S.

Good riddance. Even his family is better off without him.

[flexnor]

11. it's an issue of not letting his standards become your standards

and stooping to his level - for that matter, i was not a big fan of ted kennedy either. but anyone with any sense of class knew that his statements at that time were super low class, and worthy of having him dropped from any but the lowest social circles

the correct position is 'if you cant say anything nice, dont say anything at all' for the sake of his children

your greatest vindication is to be better than him, not to match him

[Chorophyll]

18. My standards have certainly NOT become his standards.

I have not used video-editing software to destroy people's careers or to bring down a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping low-income Americans. When I do, feel free to scold me.

[frylock]

27. you would have to crawl on your belly in the marianas trench to reach his level

[SWTORFanatic]

9. He trashed Ted Kennedy ~3 years ago immediately after he died, soooooooooooooooooo

[Bladian]

14. So that makes it okay to do back?

Not defending the son of a bitch, because, come on, we all know he was a scumbag. But that doesn't make doing the same thing he did right.

[EFerrari]

19. There is no comparison.

Pushing back on the right wing revision of that evil, venal f#ck is nothing like insulting a lifelong public servant on his passing.

[libtodeath]

10. He was a maggot

now he can feed other ones.

[Tom Ripley]

12. +1

[joeybee12]

13. Exactly...the world is a better place without him...knr

[hobbit709]

16. I feel as much sympathy for him as I do for bubonic plague, smallpox and a dead sewer rat in the str

Anyone doesn't like that, tough.
As the Dixie Chicks said "Not Ready To Make Nice"

[Gruntled Old Man]

17. I'm not making nice

I'm dancing!

[LanternWaste]

20. I suppose it fundamentally comes down to Pogo's truism

I suppose it fundamentally comes down to Pogo's truism, in that do we predicate our own vulgarity on that of others and mirror their level of debasement; or do we maintain an ethical consistency? After that, it's nothing but empty rationalizations and pointless justifications.

But of course, in the end, it's your choice to act out in any manner you see fit...

[Enrique]

21. you're supposed to behaaaaaave yourself

[randome]

22. We've given Breitbart more air time than he had when he was alive.

Let's move on to something more worthy of Progressives than a dead blowhard.

[Ikonoklast]

23. Mark me up as being in your camp, brother.

Thre hand-wringers need to put on their Big Boy pants and finally realize that the Breibarts of this world and the people that fund them would happily have everyone that doesn't agree with them shot.

They represent totalitarianism which would ruthlessly eliminate all those whose opinions they despise.

"Can't Happen Here" is wishful thinking, and those on the Left better wake the fuck up before it's too late.

I celebrate the passing of each and every one of those who would seek to do me and mine harm.

[Rowdyboy]

24. Join me in the hope that he evolves to a higher lifeform in his next life-say a tapeworm or a slug

So that his next incarnation will have more meaning.

[frylock]

25. if you don't, your liberal credentials will be questioned..

mostly by those that support targeted assassination, indefinite detention, and free trade agreements.

[Pisces]

28. Does it have to be all or nothing? Hate him, despise him, but why lower yourself to his level. Just

because he was a shit to Kennedy does't mean being a shit to him makes it even. Why must we be like them? I don't give
him respect or like him in death, but why celebrate his death????

He's gone. what more can he do to you?
