Mr_Biscuit 08/30/18 7:16:30 PM #1:	Both right and left The number of hot takes Ive seen this week have been insane. Ive seen left-wingers just absolutely shit on his grave (saw a viral tweet that compared grieving for him as equal to grieving for Osama bin Laden) and right-wingers shit on liberals who were saddened by his passing or refusing to pay him an ounce of respect because he didnt like Dear Leader. There are many fair critiques of the man, but good lord, human decency is in low supply. I do still believe, hopefully, the majority chunk of America havent fallen into those camps and had a measured, human response to a flawed but deeply patriotic man passing. --- https://www.bigplay.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/img_6703.jpg <cite>Mr_Biscuit posted [p:907835712] in McCain'...

Southernfatman 08/30/18 7:30:49 PM #9:	I'm not going to completely flip on my position and white knight McCain just because he gave Trump shit like a lot of liberals do, but I'm also not going to go out and start bad mouthing him just because either.

You can admire his bravery and sympathize with the horrors he suffered at the Hanoi Hilton, but all these glowing hagiographies only obscure the truth about what he stood for and strived for, and that is damaging. <cite>ElatedVenusaur posted [p:907836498] in McCain'...

The dead can't defend themselves, and this logic basically calls for celebrating when people die.
