And why does anyone feel the need for adding irrelevant remarks like " I'll celebrate the death of ... " , when the thread is clearly about someone who had just passed?

Why sully a thread about 1 individual with gleeful hopes for someone else dying ?

Seriously, how about showing a modicum of respect.

"You see, I wanted to find a way to appropriately honor Mrs. Thatcher’s policies today, so I called Nelson Mandela a terrorist.

Then I busted some unions, I took milk away from poor children, I supported the regimes of Saddam Hussein and Augusto Pinochet, I cut taxes for the rich and widened the poverty gap, I sold off England’s basic utilities so people could pay a whole lot more for electricity and water in the U.K., then I insulted working people by saying any man who travels by bus is a failure — all this whilst urinating on miners and setting up a disastrous economy that the people of the U.K. are paying for with austerity today.

Geez, no wonder the Bush-bots loooove her.

For me, the best response Ive seen so far came from a British journalist friend of mine, who simply posted:

"Ding Dong."

Hugo Chavez was someone. So was Saddam Hussein. Jack Murtha was someone as well. And Osama bin Laden was, too.

Nice collection of folks ya got there. I couldn't have done any better.

Thug, tyrant, old lying fool,and a terrorist. I guess you're known by the company you keep.


But compare the reactions of good conservatives to when a leftist icon dies, to when the shoe is on the other foot.

Seven police were injured – one seriously – as violence erupted at a street party to ‘celebrate’ the death of Baroness Thatcher.

Trouble flared after midnight when a rowdy 200-strong crowd refused police requests to disperse from Easton, Bristol.

Dozens of officers donned riot gear and used shields and batons as they were pelted with bottles, cans and rubbish.The air was thick with cannabis smoke as revellers toasted the death of the Iron Lady, chanting; “Maggie Thatcher, Maggie Thatcher, she’s not living anymore. She’s not living anymore.”

Some people drank champagne while others walked around in Thatcher masks and one man dressed up as the former PM.

Sound systems were set up in the street to fuel the party atmosphere and the trouble broke out when police tried to stop the music.

Unemployed Julian Styles, 58, who was made redundant from his factory job in 1984, said: “I’ve been waiting for that witch to die for 30 years.

“Tonight is party time. I’m drinking one drink for every year I’ve been out of work.” http://swns.com/news/police-injured-sick-street-parties-celebrating-de

( Yeah, that'll show her! ) I doubt very much this bloke needs any external reason to drink.




Violence, vandalism, looting... and what for ? Seriously.

So, let's see... who else parties in the streets and is prone to violence and destruction of other people's property when someone dies ?

Gee, Islmo-nutjobs, maybe?

Lowest common denominator, I guess.

"nowthatchersdead" hashtag causes some grief for Cher fans who read it as "now that cher's dead".

Punctuation saves lives.

So, is there a single person, at ALL, who is even mildly surprised that rappy boy won't/can't live up to his own words?

Nah, didn't think so.

Who were those people, celebrating bin Laden's death ? ? Primarily, those in NYC. It wasn't wide spread, there were no riots, or vandalism, that I ever saw reported.

if anyone had reason to celebrate the death of bin Laden, for all the pain he caused so many, on a very personal level, I don't begrudge them one bit.

Then you'd be an idiot, because she saved the country, which benefited far more people than the few deadbeats who blame the govt on their own failures.

You may speak ill of the dead if it is someone that Rappy despises, you may not speak ill of the dead if he idolises that person. Good Zeus, Story, is it that difficult to work out what you should and shouldn't be doing?
