'The only thing tragic about Donald Rumsfeld’s death is that it didn’t take place in a prison cell,' progressive journalist writes
Liberals pulled no punches in rejoicing over news of his death.
"For those too young to know, Donald Rumsfeld was an atrocious human being whose legacy is engineering unlawful, disastrous & unnecessary wars that continue to traumatize generations. He had no remorse or contrition for his role in the bloodshed. May he kick rocks for eternity," The Daily Beast columnist Wajahat Ali reacted.
"Bye, bi---," The Nation's Washington correspondent Aída Chávez replied.
"The only thing tragic about Donald Rumsfeld’s death is that it didn’t take place in a prison cell," progressive journalist Walker Bragman wrote.
"Any obituary of Donald Rumsfeld that doesn't specifically state that he shared responsibility for a misguided war that resulted in the deaths of 4000 American GIs and 200,000 or more Iraqi civilians is journalistic malfeasance," MSNBC analyst David Corn declared.
Far-left pundit Cenk Uygur called Rumsfeld a "heartless warmonger" who he claimed is responsible for the lives of "hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis."
Several left-wing Twitter accounts characterized Rumsfeld as a "monster" and "war criminal" for his hawkish stance on U.S. foreign policy.
"Excited Donald Rumsfeld is going to hell, but wish there was somewhere worse he could go," a news editor at Fanbyte media tweeted.
Historian Vijay Prashad said that Rumsfeld had been "recalled by the devil."
"May Donald Rumsfeld face the justice and accountability in death that he never got to face in this world for his crimes," content creator Sana Saeed responded.
"The tragedy of Donald Rumsfeld’s death is that we will remember his name, and not those of the hundreds of thousands of people he consigned to a violent death," The Daily Beast contributing editor Spencer Ackerman wrote.

Post 9/11 the die was cast go after Afghanistan and Iraq even though most of the terrorists were Saudi citizens (15 of 19 plane hijackers).
Saudi Arabia had the oil and the $$$$$$$.
The US ended up doing what it did post 9/11 with the Left enraged and the Right pitted against the Left over the warfare.
A waste of my time and emotions in retrospect.
But was it the right policy to begin with or the expedient one?
Pakistan created the Taliban that gave bin Laden a home in Afghanistan and oops bin Laden ended up living in Pakistan.
Pakistan with its nuclear weapons was on off limit country for military punishment.
No one will ever live in a worse place than the lives of liberals.
The demon driven ilk on the left are enemies of God, perhaps they know this, perhaps they choose to ignore it, but one day they will come face to face with the evil inside them that they chose to follow, and come face to face with the God they reject.
Donald Rumsfeld was no war monger. He understood peace through strength.
The peace through strength doctrine is one those things you either believe in, or you are a moron.
…strength vs. appeasement..
…capitalism vs. socialism..
…meritocracy vs. affirmative action..
…liberty vs. tyranny..
…equal justice vs. social justice..
…sanity vs. insanity..
You pick a side and fight for it, and if the Left hates you, you have chosen wisely.
liebrals are what they are,,, filthy beasts.
Nobody celebrates death like democrats, those giddy sponsors of lynching blacks, terrorizing them in white sheets and slaughtering millions of innocent children.
If Rumsfeld ever spoke out against Trump, I’m betting that all would be forgiven.
The known unknowns are now known.
Always classy those compassionate liberals. They love humanity; it’s people they hate.
Laws are for the plebes, not for the exalted members of Congress.
Reading the names of the opinionators indicates that diversity ain’t such a great deal unless you want more America haters.
There’s nothing more despicable than a liberal, shame on every single one of them.
Just one more bullet point in the long, long list of why I am not a leftist . . . they have no shame
“Laws are for the plebes, not for the exalted members of Congress.”
If I could make just one small change, it would be that politicians are held to the same laws and medical restrictions as those they govern. And, if I was allowed a second change, it would be that no one can serve in the same elected office for more than eight years. So, four years as, say, mayor, four or eight years as, say, governor, and then a max of eight years in the House or Senate. No continuing financial benefit for having occupied any federal office...like a full retirement benefit...or, a free office in DC. You serve. You get your pay...and that’s it!
I didn’t celebrate the death of rbg…I was happy she finally relinquished her court seat which should have happened at least 4 years earlier…
“he shared responsibility for a misguided war that resulted in the deaths of 4000 American GIs and 200,000 or more Iraqi civilians”
Yeah, and General Eisenhower shared responsibility for a previous “misguided” war that resulted in the deaths of 400,000+ American GIs...
I browsed Democratic Underground yesterday. I’ve never seen a group of sicker, angrier, psychopathic people in my life. If any of those losers had power they’d kill tens of millions…. They’re true totalitarian communists.
Wow! Did you read the comments of his commie followers? 100% pure evil. We cannot coexist with these people.
They better watch where THEY are going.
Just more proof that there can be no peaceful coexistence with the left.
