Daily Kos Attacking Charlton Heston on His Passing

Posted on April 6, 2008

I guess we shouldn’t expect any sense of decorum from Kossacks, but it is pretty lame that they had to unleash their hatred only minutes after the announcement of the passing of famed American actor Charlton Heston. A Daily Kos “diarist” named doriangz started out calling Heston a “gun-nut” and ending with his life and causes being considered “political nutdouchebaggery,” and the incivility just flowed like the opening of a damn from Kos posters’ keyboards after that. Not much respect for a man who’s film career spanned many decades, who marched with Martin Luther King, and fought to uphold our Constitution.

One poster said that Heston tore into the “victims of Columbine,” one Marcus Tullius said he laughed when Jerry Falwell died and that Heston’s death made the world a better place. And Fairy Tale echoed that with a post that said, “Things are already getting better in America” now that Heston was dead. RandySF said that he was sorry but that he “can’t think of anything nice” to say about Heston. Aqualad08 seemed to think that if there were “no guns in heaven” that would make it “hell” for Heston.

And they were just getting warmed up.

Then, we always have to have the “he’s a crappy actor” types like poster jazzmaniac and the ones that have no respect, like ohcanada who said, “As we sow.. I didn’t respect him in life..and I won’t in death.” Then FischFry jumped in to say that he assumed that mention of the Heston film “A Touch of Evil” was really a description of Heston himself.

And, predictably, there is the foul mouthed type that we have all come to associate so specifically with uncivil leftists, too. PerfectStormer posted a loving “So long, motherf***er” when he heard the news of Heston’s death.

But remember, these are the same sort of people who claim that it is they that are the more “compassionate,” more “caring,”, and more “civilized” in our society. Well, if the compassion they displayed for Charlton Heston is any indication, we are in more trouble than we thought… either that or the left has no real compassion at all.

I favor the later, don’t you?

Still, there were several posters that were chagrined by the hate and uncivil postings by their fellow lefties. So, at least some of the Kos posters were sorry to hear of Heston’s passing and upset at the ignorance of the other posters.

But, all the vitriol is sadly to be expected from the more “loving” left, unfortunately. I can only imagine how the media will treat him over the next few days. Who can doubt that their compassion will quickly fade to be replaced by sniping and attacks of this iconic and quintessentially American personality?

Suprised ?
You know I used to go to those sites to see what they wrote but I really don`t even think of them much anymore. It really is a simple formula, what would a decent person think/say then picture the opposite and there you go. I am more concerned now with spending my time at places where people have some decency and values.

They’re very sad, sick, silly depraved souls. What do you expect from the left ?

[BamaAndy]

The tolerant and peaceful left once again reveals its true nature. It’s time to interact rudely.

I did not look at Kos. But DU was in its’ usual form in regard to this.

The class of DU: (posted only in case they edit it)

Leftists are so convinced of their own superiority and that they're not only right, but "good," so anyone who disagrees with them isn't just wrong, but evil. So this gives them the "justification" to hate, and as history has proven over and over again, to kill.

"Classical liberalism," what is commonly known as "open-mindedness," was purged from the left many decades ago. Those who took over the left have steadily moved from "classical liberalism" to leninist, and eventually to stalinist philosophies.

“Aside from his film appearances, Heston was a civil rights activist in the 1960s, marching beside Martin Luther King, served as president of the Screen Actors Guild from 1966-1971, sat on the National Council of the Arts during those same years, was elected president of the National Rifle Association (NRA) in 1998, and is the author of several autobiographical books, including The Actor’s Life, In the Arena, and To Be A Man.”

I was looking at DU, and there’s some of that there, too. But surprisingly also a lot of positive comments.

[WildcatClan]

“Comments are closed for this entry” over at HuffPo. I think we all know why they were closed. They are as hateful or more so than DU or Kos.

What hypocrisy. Do you think that type of behavior only belongs to those of DailyKos or DU? Have you never read the threads here on FR concerning those on the opposite side of the political fence? Read a thread that concerns the late Princess Diana. DailyKos has nothing on ill-bred Freepers... nothing.

[billorites]

Read DU you’ll grow hair on your palms and go blind.

You are right I have read some quite revolting posts FR when some leftist icon dies.

However, the FR moderators have the decency to remove such revolting posts.

[carton253]

Not all the time unfortunately.

[IrishBrigade]

DailyKos has nothing on ill-bred Freepers... nothing...

...true as far as it goes...ill-bred is ill-bred...the major differene between the louts on the left and those on the right is the unbridled and juvenile profanity spewing from liberals...I chalk a lot of it off to youth, who are historically poor-mannered cads...

I thought nobody could top DU`s hate until I first saw HuffPo. The libs on HuffPo make DU look downright rational by comparison. I don`t know why Huffington even posts anything when a non-liberal passes away, because she knows she`s going to have to shut down the comments.
