A young woman’s mother dies recently, and a few weeks later, suffering from severe depression, she herself dies, falling off a cliff in California in an apparent suicide. In the old days of responsible journalism, publications didn’t report suicides unless they were of high-profile people. So why was this apparent suicide worth of coverage on the leftist snarksite called Gawker?
While many of Gawker’s readers displayed the appropriate sentiments, some of the tolerant, compassionate liberals predictably showed their true colors, which was probably the whole point of publishing the obit in the first place.
Dear other Fox News employees: Julianna Rolle is a shining example for you all.

There’s more:
How can you not be depressed working for Fox News? All they do is push the agenda of lies that the world is coming to an end and it will never get better as long as Democrats hold the power? I personally could not live with the guilt of manufacturing misery for a paycheck.

Sad. Now let’s see how Fox manages to blame this on Obama.
— Weegee’s bored
I like how FNC hustled to clarify that she was “definitely not a Bureau Chief.†GFYFNC.
— GordonGartrelle
I guess she lost her balance.
Can’t. Help. It……sorry! I’m a terrible human being.
— SpicyMeatball
Well, considering that the rest of Fox News has all of the individuality of a leap (herd? pack?) of lemmings …. (crossing my fingers)

Did she jump, or did Bill O’Reilly push?

The party of peace, love and tolerance...............as long as you agree with them.
My father had a few sayings that have never been proven wrong in my personal experience.
1. If a person keeps telling you they are (insert what you like, smart, compassionate, successful,...) they most likely are not.
If a man has to sing his own tune....he ain't much.
2. People that think they are smart are the easiest people to fool.
If they claim to know everything....they usually don't know much.
He was a car salesman and a keen observer of human character.
My old man was a farmer/other but said basicly the same thing. They were wiser than we thought, huh.
Seems to me that Ted Koppel's son died after a drinking and drug binge. I also seem to recall absolutely NO grave dancing by ANY person, liberal or conservative.
Suck it, you ****ing hypocritical liberal ****s.
You should see Butt Worm's cheerleading for Hezbollah as their spiritual leader just kicked it:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x8710396
Butt Worm?????????
Does that mean what I think it does?
He's "Needle Dick the Butt****er"?
Disgusting thread BTW. These traitors need to be exterminated. At least they need to be neutered so they can't infect the American gene pool!
That is actually a gal who I consider a friend. Even when we disagree.Burt Worm is your friend?
Burt Worm is your friend?
That is actually a gal who I consider a friend. Even when we disagree.
Pretty amazing handle for a girl. You sure? Or did it used to be a boy? Lots of identity crisis runnin' around the DUmp.
Pretty disgusting either way. Even though it's spelled with an "R", I fail to see why anyone would pick such a handle.
I doubt I could ever be friends with someone who defends Hezbollah. After all, you are judged by the company you keep.
Well that is you. I pick friends based on how they treat me and others.
Well your friend is defending a woman who "respects" a man who has been killing innocents most of his miserable life! Pretty much tells me that said "friend" would do the same givin' the chance!
Doesn't that fall into the category of "treating others" for cripes sake? Oh I get it, it's okay to kill Joooooooooooooooooooooos!
Well that is you. I pick friends based on how they treat me and others.I hope your standards are higher than the mere fact someone is cordial to you personally. Some assholes smile a lot.
Good Grief! So I guess if Ted Bundy would have showed ya a good time without killin' ya, he'd be your friend too!Well...

No need to get ridiculous about it. Let it go. Really, why do you even care? Let me add that I know her on another site separate from DU. You can't always really tell how someone is by what they post on DU. Seriously.
You're kiddin' right? Do you change your personality according to which site you're visiting? Are you sayin' your "friend" does not believe in defending Hezbollah? Have you read Burt's posts?
I think you'll find most if not everyone here does not put up any kind of a false front unless of course we have deep cover moles over at DU, or some other looney toon site, in order to be able to watch meltdowns during times of angst.
I would add that it is necessary given DU has a pretty closed membership, unlike here, where we pretty much will let anyone post until they go over the line!
Oh, and I don't see comparing Ted Bundy to your "friend" much different. There were many who boasted Ted was a helluva nice guy! Of course they didn't lose a wife or daughter to the killer either. If I had ran into him and had a beer, I might of thought him to be a nice guy too. However, after finding out he was a frikkin' serial killer, I can assure you my opinion would change in a heart tick! Like I said, if I found out one of my "friends" condoned launching rockets into populated areas of Israel or sending youngsters in for suicide runs, they would no longer be a "friend".
Do you think just because your friend hasn't participated in the killing of innocents it makes them immune when agreeing with said acts? That's like sayin' if you attend a lynching and you're not the one with the rope, you get a pass. It don't work that way.
How you judge people is your own business. I'm giving you my opinion and letting you know why I disagree with yours. I thought that was the definition of debate. Sorry if I misinterpret the definition.
But this thread isn't about that at all. We shouldn't be "debating" why I choose the friends I have. I'd certainly never ask you why you are friends with someone. That is your business.
You remind me of my mole.
You brought it up Einstein.I presume if she picked better friends she would do well and be well accepted if she chose us as friends.
And btw, you should re-evaluate the way you pick your friends.
I presume if she picked better friends she would do well and be well accepted if she chose us as friends.
Let's encourage that choice.
So, I should be nice to her? :foff:Do recall she left DU because, to put it plainly, they're assholes.

Cindie
Hell with that! She's just pullin' the usual, "I am the victim" crap!
No I am not. Not at all. I understand there are quite a few here who will never like me, and that is fine. I don't think anyone should feel honored that I am here. That is obviously silly. What I would like though is for people to at least try to be civil with me. Maybe that is too much to ask. Not sure. I am a firm believer in you get what you give. I am trying my best to be civil with everyone. Even those who I know can't stand me and can't stand the fact that I am here. I feel like no matter what I say, you will always have a problem with it (and others). Again that is fine. No biggie. I merely pointed out that burt worm is a gal, and that I do consider her a friend. I didn't realize it would go into "how could I be friends with someone like that", but I really should have known better. I am a loyal friend though, and I will not badmouth someone that I consider a friend because everyone else doesn't like that person. That is just me. I didn't mean to highjack this thread. But that seems to happen a lot when I post something. Let me make this clear. I don't feel like I am a victim of anything. I chose to sign up here. I choose to stay here even though some have voiced they'd like to see me go or post something like "DUmmy" or "DUmbass" everytime I post. I am a big girl. I can handle it. I am just rambling at this point, but make no mistake, I DO NOT feel victimized here. I don't want people to feel sorry for me. I am just trying to get along. That is all.
You know I have friends in real life that are all republicans. We can get along just fine. I am trying to see other sides of things here. Doesn't mean I'll change my mind, but I am open to hearing other perspectives. What is wrong with that?
Ya know, I never even had the thought about maybe mikey won't like me. Hell there are two here who have me on ignore. I don't give a rusty. It's their loss. As a matter of fact, you could do the same.
Every time you get in a pinch over here I hear the it's not me excuse. I don't have friends that defend terrorists. You do, end of argument. Bye!
Does Freedom of Speech also cover dissent? Yes, yes, I believe it does. :-*Yes, and that is why I am dissenting.
One of DU's most contemptible practices is the ideological purity they impose. We have dispensed with those rules here for a reason.
If *any* liberal wandered in here I would like to think that we might try to persuade them by the strength of our arguments. Yet, there seems to be a mood that we don't want them to even have that chance, we only want to exact a revenge for some pent-up frustration.
I understand that frustration because I feel it as well as there are a thousand things I would love to tell those morons over at the DUmp. But I'm not going to send someone who is being perfectly civil away from here muttering that conservatives are a bunch of close-minded, egotistical, bullies. Granted some will say that regardless but let them be liars, not proven right.
One of the aspects of the 1st Amendment is to be able to speak freely so we can reach out to our neighbors and appeal to their better judgment. In formal terms it is called campaigning. Why bother having a freedom of speech if the only thing we can think of saying is, "**** you I don't want you here."
And don't say I'm soft-hearted or some shrinking violent because I will remind you of my tangles with TNO, the recently departed Michae1 and others.
I think we are in danger of becoming like the turdblossoms at DU or gator's monstrosity at CU.
One of DU's most contemptible practices ...blaa blaa blaa... remind you of my tangles with TNO, the recently departed Michae1 and others.
By now you all should realize that I hate the DUmpmonkies and would be happy putting a slug into the back of their brains myself, however- I normally don't joust with the retards here because it's not my place, nor is it my responsibility to deal with the scum. I don't donate here- just like I never did at CU.
As annoyed as I get at these peices of shit that ooze out of the mud to our forum, I'll say just once thatif this was my site there would be a shoot on site order. It's not my site.
Carry on.
You can dissent until your fingers fall off, but membership here is not determined by your personal preference. If you continue to abuse other members for no other reason than to be an annoyance and a disturbance, you may want to start looking for somewhere else to post.
This girl has been civil the entire time she has been here and I expect our membership to return the courtesy. If you have a problem with her, you can take it to the appropriate forum... there IS already a thread there for that purpose. I will not have you disrupting every discussion on this forum. If you have a problem with her being a member, you can make your case off the forum by private messages or email.
If anyone here continues abusing other members without provocation, I will lock your threads and restrict your posting priveliges.
You obviously feel very strongly about disagreeing with Soleil...hell I disagreed with NHSparky and I didn't get such a public ass whooping like the one I just got.
I don't appreciate your "find somewhere else to post" either..... But...I suppose I will.
What I object to is the constant fighting and acrimony.

I'm sorry about your personal loss, but my concern is with the overall well being of this forum. Do you consider following someone around just to throw taunts at them "defending your beliefs"? I have no problem with people standing up for themselves but if the only way you can do it is with insults and harassment, why do it at all?
You're free to post whatever you like. All I ask is that you keep it civil.
What she believes is not necessarily what I believe, and I don't have to defend her views. She has always been extremely kind to me, and that matters to me. I also don't have to defend who I choose to be friends with.Lay with thieves, sleep with thieves - it's in the Bible for a reason...you are defined by the company you keep...
Well yea but it's made from real shrunken human heads...
Well, is there jewelry involved? :tongue:

So one should vent one's spleen on me, not on members.

Exactly to the contrary the idea is to stop telling people to sit down and shut up.
I don't appreciate your "find somewhere else to post" either..... But...I suppose I will.
Honestly, I will leave before you do. If you and others really feel that strongly about me being here, I will go. I mean that. I don't think this is about me. But, I know this is more of your site than mine, and if you really feel that way about it, I'm out. Not to sound like a bitch. I mean that sincerely.
This is a debate board. People are going to disagree.
It's politics for pete's sake -- people need to grow thicker skin.
Dutch, I wouldn't have a problem with that mentality if they came over simply to stir up shit. I guess we have to look at things on a case by case basis. On the whole, I AM inclined to agree with you. IMO, and for what it's worth, as long as folks follow the rules, I say let them post. It's up to y'all to tear them up through debate (and I know some of y'all CAN debate), without resorting to personal attacks.

I understand that, and I agree. However, if longtime members start to leave because I am here, I can see nothing but bad feelings and resentment coming from that.
You are not as crazy as a ronbot. You wanna cup of coffee?
Wait a second--Hawkgirl got a spanking last night?Apparently I was the one doing the spanking.
AND I WASN'T TOLD OR INVITED?!?!?!

Disagreement is good. It's strengthening and rejuvenating. Every position I hold dear I try to consider the various permutations of how it would play out, good, bad or indifferent. But even then when someone challenges me I abandon, refine or strengthen what I originally believed based on the merits of the discussioni brought to me.
I know you and I don't generally interact on the forums. It's not that we disagree. More ot the point we agree so much we more times then not only thing either of us could add to the other's comments would be, "Hear! Hear!" You're one of the people I hang around for and I'm not saying that just to butter you up (PM me if you want to know what can involve butter...j/k).
Sol's declared friendship with Butt Worm troubles me to know end. From the link I posted it is obvious Butt Worm has a thousand rationalizations as to why murderers should be excused and not one of those rationalizations deals with the fact he/she/it is excusing genocidal killers. However, Sol is approachable while Butt Worm is not. Perhaps as the dialogue plays out Butt Worm's obstinance will prove more telling than any other factor because that obstinance betrays the refusal to deal with facts. Does it not make sense that how you say something matters almost as strongly as what you have to say? I know when my BIL says the only reason I'm a conservative is because I'm an easily-led, mind-numbed, hate-filled, misogynist assholes he's pretty much closed the door to whatever argument is destined to follow. It also deepens his own sense of arrogance.
Don't be that guy, girl. If you weren't better than that I wouldn't hang out for your company.

Thanks dude....but I have never once called for her banning...or told her to shut up...Never. I have simply challenged her...but that is not allowed here.
I admit, I can be a smartass about it...but who here can say they haven't been smart assed at some point at any of our remarks. I'll say it again, soleil is on protected status...and that is OH SO OBVIOUS.
So I'll ignore her existence here or post elsewhere...I haven't decided yet because if there's any posts I stalk, it would be the infamous Mr.SnuggleBunny's, and I would miss it, cause he edumacates me reall goode.
No it wasn't you...you are always refined when you reprimand...it was the BIG BAD ADMIN, CHRIS!!Shall I spank him?

I don't want you to leave. We're short on the feminine perspective as it is.
Even more so when Dutch and TRG aren't around.And the gauntlet is cast.
Hawkgirl, come on. Let's be realistic about this. Chris was doing his job. Now you're going to start bashing the Admins again?? For ****'s sake....... ::)
Even more so when Dutch and TRG aren't around.

Enough of this childishness though....I'm out.No. No. No. :thatsright:
Butt Worm?????????Turdblossom's brother & gehy lover...
Does that mean what I think it does?
He's "Needle Dick the Butt****er"?
Disgusting thread BTW. These traitors need to be exterminated. At least they need to be neutered so they can't infect the American gene pool!
