Over on the Rightwing Hate site Free Republic, the top destination on the Internets for Bush Supporters, the webmaster has had to delete several posts apparently about Christopher Reeve. These are a few selections (courtesy of Digby, who has more) that were not deleted by the “America Loving Freepers”:
“I’m sorry, but I have no compassion for this man. He suffered a terrible injury through his own fault and, instead of accepting it, he lashes out in anger against Bush.”
“Contrary to mythology, he sunk into bitter, violent anger, pouring every ounce of derision he possibly could on Christianity and America. And then he simply died.”
“Is there no level of filth to which these Dems won’t sink?”
“You think you’re cynical? I am wondering if Clark Kent would possibly pull the plug on himself in a desperate attempt to “matyrize” the stem-cell issue and help Kerry?”
“Reeve seemed like a nice chap until he got involved with the pro-death wing of the democrat party. We can’t always get what we want, but we often get what we deserve.”
“The fact is, Mr. Reeve spent his last days using his fame and access to champion the murder of unborn children.”
“He was not willing to let a fetus stand between him and his goalpost.”
“Sure hope he was a saved man. Otherwise right now he is roasting in hell.”
Classy.
It takes time to actually write a response on a message board. Enough time to read what you write before you post it.
Who are these people?
They aren’t "real" Republicans or conservatives. They’re wackos, like the Michael Moore’s of the Democrat Party. I respected Mr. Reeve and his motives, although I do feel he was exploited.
> They aren’t "real" Republicans
Then why do the Republicans in Congress and the White House pander to them?
Hi, Brad,
I’ve been enjoying your site for a while now; thanks for your continual posting. Regarding the stem cell thing, if we have http://www.blogactive.com outing gays working for the Republican gay-bashing politicians, can you maybe put a call out to the masses seeing if anyone knows a prominent conservative who has used a fertility clinic? The logic is as follows: If destroying embryos destroys a human life, isn’t it a bit overzeolous to create 12 or 14 ‘lives’, then pick the ‘best’ ones for implantation, leaving the ‘lesser ones’ frozen for an eternity of non-bornity? Isn’t picking from blastospheres ‘playing God’? Isn’t it unethical to create all these surplus ‘children’ without provising for their eventual birth? Shouldn’t they be obligated to ind surrogate mothers to finish God’s creation? If they are anti-stem cell, then they should also be anti-fertility clinic, as the clinics contribute to a ‘nation’ of unborn children with no hope of being born.
I’d bet a lawyer could find a lawsuit in there somewhere (friggin’ lawyers!)
If you think that the Republicans in Congress and the White House pander to those who mock the dead, I pity you.
Then add me to your pity list, Troll.
Troll,
We know for a fact that Mr. Bush mocked a woman whose death warrant he signed. Perhaps you forgot that?
