A message to those of you pissing on Reggie White's grave. [View All]

I've been very disturbed by many of the comments in the Reggie White threads. Frankly, there were times when I thought I was in Freak Republic or some other bastion of wingnut hate.

Whatever you may think of White, he was a human being who died way too young, and who left behind a wife and children who loved and needed him and family and friends who loved him. He does not deserve the kind of hateful, vicious vitriol that spewed forth from some DUer's computers these past couple of days.

Some of those who were responsible for that also have posted about their disgust over freeper reactions to the deaths or medical misfortunes of Dems and liberals, and patted themselves on the back for being so much better than that. Well, guess what? You ARE NOT better than that, you ARE NOT superior. Your posts were exactly the same kind of hateful, bigoted vitriol you condemn freepers for saying. There is no difference. And there is no excuse for that. And you've not only made yourselves look bad, you've given us a black eye as well. I hope you're all proud of yourselves.

And for the record, I did not agree with much of what White said, and I certainly didn't appreciate his gay-bashing and hatefulness toward too many groups. But, as I said, he was a human being who died far too young, and he does not deserve to have people spitting and pissing on his grave.
