If John McCain's mother had died today, what do you think WE would be saying?

[renie408]

I happen to think that the people here at the good ole DU would offer our condolences. We wouldn't make vile accusations or sick jokes. And THAT is the difference between Democrats and Republicans. If Mrs. McCain had passed, god forbid, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Barack Obama would have been the FIRST people to offer their deepest sympathy.

I am proud to be a member here and to be a Democrat. I am embarrassed for the gross things I have read written over at the Free Republic. You should be ashamed of yourselves. And you know who you are.

1. There would be a few idiots here...

but most would be offering their sympathies.

edited to add: and those "idiots" would most likely be trolls.

[renie408]

5. You know, even some of the people here who go a little too far

would not go 'there'. And if they did, just imagine the outrage the board would heap on them. Some of them might drive me crazy upon occasion, but for the most part, people here are FAIR.

[Lisa0825]

12. True... when people have crossed that line here before,

they were taken to task by the rest of us.

14. Skinner would be frantically locking threads

People on here seem to lack manners. Curse words flow freely on this site.

[MarthaMyDear]

2. ...offer condolences...Sen McCain's mother is quite elderly...

...and I could definitely see her passing in the near future.

It's hard when any loved one dies.

[FrenchieCat]

It would be a week of coverage on all of the news media

wall to wall.

[rateyes]

3. Freepers are sick

fucks.

[leftofcool]

4. Yea sure.

And I am embarrassed by the many things that have been said here. Obama is a jewel. Too bad many of his supporters are not.

[renie408]

7. You might see a few outre comments, but

they would get jumped on pretty quickly by the majority of the board. I have seen it happen over and over again.

[Rocknrule]

6. I can guarantee we wouldn't be dancing on her grave

[rucky]

8. Good God! How old was she?

[Lex]

10. Well, yeah, that would one thing we'd be saying.

Naughty you!

[Zombie2]

9. Wait! He can't suspend the election... can he? n/m

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

11. I'd be very sad.

She's great in the sack.

[renie408]

16. You ain't quite right. n/t

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

19. You brought up John McCain's mom.

Should have seen it coming.

[Sebastian Doyle]

13. I have nothing against McCain's mother

..well, apart from giving birth to him, anyway.

[Blaq Dem]

15. Strange. Haven't heard any condolences from the McCain campaign.

[Ichingcarpenter]

17. Obama thanked McCain during his speech today

for McCain's offer of condolences.

[salbi]

20. They did offer condolences

[beachmom]

18. I would offer my condolences and chastise the jerks here who

were nasty when Tim Russert died. Ah, our slate is hardly clean.

[Naturyl]

21. Some of you are fooling yourselves

If you don't think there would be a certain amount of grave-dancing and other absurdity, I'd suggest checking those rose-colored glasses.

Having said that, there's no way it would approach Freeper levels. Their behavior today is appalling.

[kenny blankenship]

22. Grave dancing posts would be taken out, and some authors ts'ed or suspended
