1969-2012
Andrew Breitbart died earlier this morning and his political opponents are certainly setting the bar for decorum. The Blaze has already compiled some of the most vile tweets following the news of his passing.
@darrenfiorello: Andrew Breitbart died? Is it wrong that I’m happier about that than when they got bin Laden and Saddam?
@readjunk: I wonder if the state of Douchery will lower it’s flags at half mast?

@ChickGoneBad: They say Andrew Breitbart died of natural causes. Sure, that having that much evil inside you will almost naturally kill you.
@JerryWaxman2: His kind of journalism, and the “gotcha” out of context videos deserve an early death. http://huff.to/wJlRNS via @HuffingtonPost
@GOP_Hates_You: @AndrewBreitbart Burn in HELL
I wonder if there would be outrage from the left for such vitriol from the right if one of their own passed and was celebrated in like manner.
Sifting Reality 
I knew it would happen, but that was quick. You can really feel the love and tolerance.
Liberals are such hate-mongers!
I “Like” the post, but not that Andrew Breitbart died. Just wanna clarify that. I like that you’re calling the Left out on their hypocrisy.
I know where you stand T. It’s frustrating to hear from the left that the right is so full of hate and see this. Not that I have seen it coming from the professional left, but from the blogging left, they are always complaining, and they are the worst offenders. I can only imagine what those at the Daily Kos are saying.
Can we just say that both sides are filled with petty people?
Of course we can. But for one reason or another the left seems to be filled with vitriol and vocal about it all the while inventing “hate” that requires interpretation from the right.
I’m not saying the right doesn’t have its ragers, but they are few and far between compared to the left, who claims the right is heartless all while saying the above.
You know, it’s odd, I rarely if ever get affected by the death of someone I don’t actually know. I didn’t read breitbart’s work often or watch his TV appearances, but the more I’m reading about and see coverage of his death, the more I am being affected. I find myself saying “dammit” alot. Strange.
That’s how I felt about Christopher Hitchens, John. I was actually in tears. Where do you think I got my pro-life views from? A lot of his work. He was a pro-life liberal atheist, ya know. His pro-life view was a bit more nuanced than ours, but he was pro-life. He used to refer to pro-choicers as “militants.” LOL.
So much for the “judge not lest you be judged” mentality that is so often “used” by many of our left leaning friends!!!
They have no shame in employing a double standard, its almost like they feel entitled to use it.
“I wonder if there would be outrage from the left for such vitriol from the right if one of their own passed and was celebrated in like manner.”
I’m sure that no-one would say anything bad about the passing of a prominent liberal, like Ted Kennedy for example.
Sure, things were said about Kennedy, but it it the left who parades around as if they are above all that pretending to want civility in discourse calling the right a bunch of haters. I’m just pointing out their calls for civility in discourse are hollow. Much like the feigned outrage at Rush’s comments about Fluke when libs have Bern exponentially worse about conservative women and they all just laugh along.
Yes, yes, Your own double standard is excused. Carry on.
It would be a double standard if I was excusing comments about Kennedy after he passed, but since I haven’t, it’s not a double standard. I just wish liberals would hold themselves to their own standard.
It would also be a double standard if the very person you were defending against such attacks had employed them himself.
As it is.
So much for being the bigger man about it. I can say his comments about Kennedy were wrong, but you have only justified the vitriol against Breitbart. Like I said, you keep it classy.
You can say that, but you certainly haven’t, but no worries. A straw man will save you every time.
Dan
You realize this is how children argue: but he did it first!
Yes, I suppose a child could see through your double standard.
…and your shifting goalposts.
Anyway, have a ball.
