Death of a traitor

[MARIS61]

One of the most negative, anti-American pen-for-hire's of the 20th Century and personal mouthpiece for Dick Cheney, Robert Novack's war on the average American peaked with his treasonous outing of CIA operative Valerie Plame, which endangered the lives of dozens of agents and their families while costing the CIA (in other words us taxpayers) untold billions of dollars worth of re-organization and washing decades of intelligence successes down the drain.

While I'd rather he died in front of a firing squad as justice would demand, I'll settle for him simply being gone at long last.

I honestly don't understand the hate for people who simply have a different point of view. I guess for some people, everything is emotional.

P.S. You may wish to blame Dick Armitage for Ms. Plame.

liberals love celebrating the death of people they don't agree with politically. they are very cynical. not Maris61 in particular, but its just a trend i noticed. I recall on other boards, there were some lefty-posters gleeful when Reagan died.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

It says a lot about lefties like maris when they actually celebrate the death of anyone who may have a differing view then they do. Clearly, this is the difinitive root of our problems in this country- hate that hopes for and celebrates death. Brought to us all by the liberals.

Amusing how Maris61 makes a post, and it is followed by posts attributing his thoughts to all "lefties". Quite the extrapolation.

Why are you calling Shooter a lefty or liberal? I haven't seen any "Yay Terrorists are Dead" threads lately, but I hardly think he is a lefty.

 

[Sedatedfork]

Fixed.

Yep, that sounds more accurate.

Where does he say "all" lefties?

Just curious...

It doesn't- but that's the way most lefties think.

I wouldn't say "most." I'd say "loudest."

See, I actually misread that line - I read it as "by all the liberals".

However, the clear implication of both BP's post and HUSTLA's posts was to paint all liberals with Maris' comments.

I don't see a lot of qualification in that statement.

Do you have the qualifications to quantify qualification?

just a casual observation I've seen on teh interwebs in forums such as this, when guys like Reagan and Nixon died, a lot of libbies who posted, instead of mourning were more "good riddance".

conservatives can disagree with someone policitally without wishing them dead or celebrating when they do die...which I found some liberals, at least on online communities, to be like. I'm sure when Cheney bites the bullet, more than a few libs are going to be poppin champange...

to me, many liberals are cynical and morbid.

That's the sort of quality question I quite quiver over.

I think drawing broad conclusions about a group of people based on what you read on interwebs forums is kind of a bad idea.

this thread is an example!

And I have to admit, that was my intent. And, yes, it's a grossly unfair statement.

I quarter no qualms should you wish to quote me. Quintillions of quality quartets quote my quirky quips, queuing in Quahog to quaff quantities of quarts of quince quoolaid.

Man, the q-factor of this forum's gone up a bunch lately.

What'd you just call me?

 

[Idog1976]

Maris that is really in poor taste. The stuff you wrote about Plame is fair. Celebrating Novacks death is a tad over the top. We're not talking about a mass murderer here, he's a journalist who *POSSIBLY* commited a treasonous act. Regardless, he is dead now and we should leave it at that.

P.S. Folks on BOTH sides of the political spectrum celebrate when a political opponent dies, also folks on both sides honor the dead regardless of their affiliation. Nothing about politics changes people's basic humanity, that's something folks decide for themselves regardless of their affiliation.

Didn't he just die of a brain tumor? Couldn't one possibly give the guy the benefit of the doubt that he might not have been in the best of health the last few years.

I ignored gallbladder symptoms for 2 years so I can see him not knowing anything was wrong with him.

 

[Denny Crane]

The guy was really well connected with people in both parties, and apparently well liked too.

He may be the last of the old school writers, who actually goes out and schmoozes people in the know and then reports the facts. Along with his analysis.

In the Plame case, he was dialed in to a Clinton administration official near the highest levels of government.

While we may be caught up in a polarizing partisan political position (pardon the alliteration) these days, he was able to cross that divide up until he was no longer able.

He was so good, he and partner Rowland Evans wrote an insider's newsletter that just about everyone who worked on capital hill or the white house subscribed and read it.

I will be pleased that Ted Kennedy is out of the Senate, but I won't be pleased he will have died (soon enough) his way out of office (or pleased he died).

Right, the distinction you make with Kennedy is sort of the point here. In this case Hate the game not the player especially not at the players funeral. This isn't to say people shouldn't be held accountable while alive, or that the negative parts should be glossed over when reviewing their life. I just don't think one should mock the dead right after their death. Even Jerry Falwell.

So you're saying I shouldn't have said that Micheal Jackson's nose had a better than even chance of breaking off if the person giving him mouth-to-mouth pinched it too hard ten minutes after his death was announced?
