77. Please explain why it's "cruel."

Tue Apr 9, 2013, 12:57 PM

Apr 2013

She's dead. She doesn't know. She can't hear any more. Talk about a message falling on deaf ears.

Do you care nothing of the true life-and-death cruelty of her policies and the suffering she inflicted on millions?

Do you think just because she died that that wipes away all the horrible things she did?

Should people not remember that she considered Pinochet to be a friend and Nelson Mandela to be a terrorist?

Should her legacy be given a sparkly coat of paint so future politicians can point to her and say: "I'm just like that great leader, Margaret Thatcher!" like they do with Reagan?

Is there no spectrum of criticism allowed? Should we all say only glowing things of Hitler now or Cheney, after he dies?

Seriously, do you not understand how ridiculous and dangerous this speak-no-evil line of thinking is?
