At least the FR admins are deleting the worst ones, and in so doing hold their site to some standards of decency, unlike DU where they proudly leave them up for the world to see.

Threads and posts happy about Ted's condition being removed like Crazy at Free Republic.
Advertisements [?]Not fast enough, RimJob.
I will not repeat what I have seen over there in the last few minutes.
One trick that they like in this situation, is posting something like: "To avoid suspension, I will not say what is on my mind."
RimJob for some reason doesn't delete those.
To be fair, some DUmmies admit the hypocrisy:

3. sadly we have no real right to talk after some of the things posted in the wake
of the deaths of Ronald Reagan, Jerry Falwell, and Thurmond.

24. True. Don't forget Tony Snow
There was a lot of classy people here when his cancer was announced. But there was JUST as much nastiness towards him that the mods had to remove quickly as well.
To pretend we are any better when someone from the right is ill/dies is utter nonsense. Just as many asshats on the left.
But then there are also those who defend and rationalize DU's doing it because
their cause is righteous, doncha know?

19. Excuse me, dsc, but Ted Kennedy never has wished or visited
want, torture or death on millions of people.
Being dead doesn't make you righteous, it makes you the subject of memory. The way people remember you is determined in part by who you were in life.
Reagan, Falwell and Thurmond were destructive in life and were remembered that way. When Senator Kennedy passes, which hopefully won't be for a long, long time if we are lucky, our remembrance will be of his innumerable efforts on behalf of the American people.
There is no equivalence whatsoever.
