The Legion of the Damned over at What's Wrong With the World is predictably having a field day with the death of liberal Catholic Sen. Edward M. Kennedy. One of the W4 minions (I think they call him "Frankie") felt it necessary to give additional exposure to a hatchet job by a self-righteous outfit which cynically calls itself Human Life International. As the piece in question amounts to a verbal desecration of Sen. Kennedy's corpse, I will not reiterate Frankie's incredibly poor taste by providing a link to it. As it the purpose of my WWWtW-Watch feature to expose these soi disant "Christians" for the loveless crypto-fascists that they truly are, however, I will provide this link to the relevant comments section. Hold your nose and check it out.

Rodak,
I left a comment for you at Kyle's blog but for some reason it did not post. I accept and really appreciate your apology. I apologize if I crossed the line in our discussions as well. I didn't do this out of the blue. Kevin and I tried to take care of this discretely but nothing seemed to work. So, This was the last resort. I agree with your line on humanity. You are more than welcome to visit my blog also. I will let you know though, I sometimes convey my opinion pretty bluntly along with the facts. i guess that's me coming out of my shell and my passion for politics. Have a great day!! Peace
Thanks, Teresa. Sharing beats swearing, every time.
This is so typical of what I've seen on some other conservative blogs, Ragged Thots being the rare exception...one blog in particular was actually concerned because the events of Chappaquiddick weren't more prominently featured in most of the mainstream obituaries...
Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer, right?
Do you think in general when any person dies that the media should describe the person's life in a positive manner, regardless of being conservative or liberal?
To me, conservatives probably feel if that the media skipped right over Kennedy's faults and stepped right into glorifying him instead of focusing on his faults a little bit, then it may seem to conservatives that there is a double standard within the MSM in regard to how the MSM treats conservatives versus liberals, even after death. One example would be how the New York Times couldn't seem to say anything nice to say about Jesse Helms when he died.
Personally, I think regardless of what political affiliation a person belongs, when the person dies the media should present that person in a positive light.
I agree that when a person dies, the media coverage should not be negative, at least until that person has had his funeral, and his family has had a period of time to grieve.
If one has nothing good to say, one can hold his peace for a decent period of time.
It's past my bedtime. Tomorrow is another day...
