FRiends, if you check out Yahoo, you'll see so much venom against Steve Irwin. Why? What did he do to piss off liberals and so-called conservatives? My family and I just love the guy. I can't understand the hate against him.

FRiends, if you check out Yahoo, you'll see so much venom against Steve Irwin. Why? What did he do to [anger] liberals and so-called conservatives? My family and I just love the guy. I can't understand the hate against him.

I suspect the answer may lie in Aussie Dasher's reply #1:

"Steve Irwin was a strong supporter of Prime Minister Howard . . ."

You know why he is hated by the left? Because he was a courageous, enthusiastic rugged individualist who found fulfillment in pushing himself to ever greater threshholds of experience. A liberal proclaims his bravado on a bumper sticker or on a crude sign at a gathering of his fellow sheep.
