In reply to the discussion: Joe Lieberman, 2000 vice presidential nominee, dies at 82 [View all]NanaCat

You have the right to mourn the loss of someone who actively worked to shit on Democrats.
The rest of us will have the decency to be honest about how we viewed him. One of the stupidest social customs is thinking one must always respect the dead.
I would have danced on Hitler's grave, if I'd been alive then. I did cheer when Bundy died--not the way he died, but that someone who had gone out of his way to hurt people was no longer able to do so.
Lieberman is only slightly lower in my esteem than those two, and he's not entitled to my respect just because he removed himself from the human race. Why should he have that, when he did everything in his power to scorn it?

Why piss on a newbie like that? He is entitled to his/her opinion as long as it doesn't break any rules.

I avoided the urine deposit, as you would have noticed were you not in an emotional state yourself. Maybe.

Not polite to say disparaging things about the departed, so I'll leave it at that.
