Joan Rivers: Palestinians ‘Deserve to Be Dead’

While I'm no fan of grave dancing, I find it utterly bizarre that sites like Think Progress are now praising this hateful woman as some kind of "ballsy" icon:

and let's not forget this gem:

Just because someone dies does not suddenly make them a great person. She was Donald Trump, but with with more plastic surgery.

To suggest that several million people should be dead because of their race, religion or whatever reason she had for hating them, is beyond obscene. To those that think this type of hatred is OK, I would also ask how proud of yourself are you.

She must have been losing it recently. I can't believe she would really think such a thing if she really thought deeply about what that means. I doubt she would really want to see young children blown to bits.

One of the dumbest things I have heard said recently by anyone, including nuts like Sarah Palin.

Old people say crazy, inappropriate, racist, etc., things. They do.

If the elderly person in question was an active judge or public official, however, I would speak out strongly for his removal from office.
