My condolences, but I WILL vote for Clinton: Man's obituary: 'Do not vote for Clinton'

[mfcorey1]

Larry Upright died just one day after Hillary Clinton announced she was running for president.
And in his obituary, his family made just two requests: please donate to a children's hospital, and please don't vote for Clinton.

Upright, a staunch Republican, died Monday at a North Carolina hospital. He was 81.

"In lieu of flowers, memorials may be sent to Shriners Hospital for Children," his obituary reads. "Also, the family respectfully asks that you do not vote for Hillary Clinton in 2016. R.I.P. Grandaddy."

Daughter Jill McLain said it was natural to put that line in her father's tribute.

"He was very passionate about politics and probably passed a little of that on," she told CNN affiliate WSOC.

Son Michael Upright said he knew his father would enjoy the request.

"We know he's up there giggling right now, just laughing out loud," he told WSOC.

2. May he rest in peace, but I cannot honor his wish as I will be voting for Hillary Clinton.

3. Had I not heard about this on DU...

... I wouldn't have at all.

But please, continue to spread it around.

4. A heart filled with that much hate is going to have a hard time at the pearly gates.

5. How the hell is that "hate?"

1. He didn't write the obituary. His grandkids did.

2. Not supporting a politician does not equate to HATE. It simply equates to not supporting a certain politician.

And, then, invoking WWJD - well that kind of hypocrisy makes you just like these people.

Some folks around here need to think long and hard about becoming that which you profess to fight against.

7. Around here hate is defined as not being in enthusiastic 150% support.

9. Clearly

and sadly.

Not much more to say, and I'm busy trying to pick my jaw up off the floor.

6. With his passing...

that's one less vote for the Republican Nominee. Just saying.

8. Got it, Larry. Who'll you be voting for in '16?

Oh, I see............

Unbelieveable. The guy is on his deathbed, and all he can do worry about Hillary or some other Dem winning. It may sound like a cute bye-bye message, but mark my words Rush the OxyPig and the other RW loudmouths will have a field day with this. And their followers will think 'ol Larry is some kind of a hero.
