1. That is the saddest thing I have ever seen.

May she rest in peace and may her family
find some comfort in their time of loss.
When she said she was worried about her
children because she knew how the loss
would affect them, well hell, I cried.
I don't care what peple think of her-
she was a mom and as a mom, I can relate.
I know my daughter would be lost without me,
as I would be without my mom.

2. kick for later. eom

3. I normally say nice and supportive things when someone dies...

but not here.. NOT AT ALL

She perverted christianity and contrived to steal money from ignorant people. The world is better off without people like her. Too bad she wont meet her "maker".

[Bluebear]

4. Do you know anything about her work post-PTL? nt

[The Sushi Bandit]

6. Oh, like "I have sinned and been forgiven"?

and the slate has been wiped clean?
Her body of work throught the YEARS speaks for itself~!

[buff2]

22. I've done a lot of shit in my life.......

But I don't do those things anymore. I changed. Tammy Faye couldn't? :shrug:

[BeHereNow]

5. And before you remove the splinter from her eye-

How about dealing with the log in your own?
BHN

[The Sushi Bandit]

7. What??

Splinter... Log??
you make no sense...

[BeHereNow]

8. Are you without fault?

Have you never caused harm to another?
To speak ill of some one who died a painful death is wrong.
Period.

BHN

[aquart]

9. Not true.

"The evil men do lives after them. The good is oft interred with their bones." She doesn't make saint because she died in pain like so many Americans. She doesn't get to have the details of her life concealed because she weighed...what?...45 pounds?...when she died.

You can dispute whether she honestly earned so pained and drawn out a death, but you have no right to embargo the discussion. No one has.

[BeHereNow]

11. Oh for heaven's sake- she was a human being.

Show me one human free of fault.
I am disgusted by the callous comments about her passing.
Maybe WE didn't love her, but somewhere, someone did.
At the very least, can we not have respect for those in mourning?

If not, then we are no better than the people we abhor; ie the
dumbfuckistans of America.
Such ugliness over the death of a person has no place among enlightened people.

16. I agree with you.

Some of these people in DU are just as bad as those FReeptards.I've gotten to the point where I don't hang out in here much at all anymore. The hate in here is horrible and I'm sick of it.

[QC]

21. Grave-dancing is a particularly ugly DU tradition.

Sometimes this place is a mirror image of Freak Republic. Like you, I don't come here much anymore, because the world itself is ugly and hateful enough--no need to seek out more negativity.

There's a better thread on this topic in LBN--you might want to check it out.

[buff2]

24. Thanks,QC

I hate to post and run but I find myself doing it more and more because of the hateful responses I get so much of the time. I think I am going to have to start using the ignore button. I've never done it before,but I think it's getting to the point where I'm going to have to use it. :(

35. The twitfilter is the greatest invention since sliced bread. n/t

[The Sushi Bandit]

10. Get real!

if I had been wrong it affected less that a few people... she influenced hunderds of THOUSANDS. Using your logic I guess I should not say anything wrong about Bush after he dies of AIDS?

[BeHereNow]

12. A pebble on a pond-

How do you know how many people you have hurt through your actions?
Wish I could be so sure about myself, which is why I will not
judge her.

BHN

[The Sushi Bandit]

13. I like Zen thoughts but...

my actions are just reminders on how many people SHE has hurt

[buff2]

19. OMG.........

This is just too sad. I feel sorry for you.

[mwb970]

40. Well then, let's stop criticizing Bush and Cheney too.

They are the victims here. Can we not forgive them? What's all this talk of impeachment?

By your splinter/log "logic", nobody has the right to criticize anyone else. This will certainly cut down the message traffic on DU!

[buff2]

14. God,what a cold and heartless thing to say.

I watched her last interview Thursday on Larry King and cried the whole hour. She is a HUMAN BEING and suffered so much with her cancer. You know what? I can expect to read shit like your post on FR site,but when I read it here it makes me even sicker.I can't understand what the fuck is wrong with people in this country anymore.People are so hard,so unfeeling like a freakin rock or something.

We are not supposed to judge,but I'd be willing to bet my life savings that lady is in Heaven right now praying for people like you. You should be ashamed of yourself,but makeing those kinds of statements you have no shame.

RIP Tammy. Not all of us are heartless freaks.

[BeHereNow]

15. Amen buff2

Disturbing, isn't it?
The lack of humanity and compassion for the pain of others.
BHN

[buff2]

17. You know,I've been crying for the past two days.

Yesterday a friend of mine came and stayed the day and last night with us. She had never seen Fahrenhite 911 and I cried so hard I thought I was going to bust even though I had seen it before. She was left numb by it. I am sickened beyond belief as to how people are these days. Give me the 60's 70's and 80's back. I hate this era.

[BeHereNow]

18. Apathy is worse than hate-

Far more disturbing, eh?
Only those in apathy can exhibit such hate.
Think about it.
BHN

[buff2]

20. Right again BeHereNow

I just hope those that are in so much glee over her death don't meet the same fate. :cry:

[BeHereNow]

26. There are times on DU when...

it is just better to speak the truth and move along.
I think this is one of those times.
Personally, I find that dwelling on the apathy/hate/lack of compassion
exhibited by some of our fellow citizens just makes it harder for me to sleep.

Our government and the True Believers who support them is all the
distress I need. Can't take it from other DUers.
To much like visiting the hate threads on FR.

No difference in my mind, which by way of logic, makes
me all the more hopeless for our future-

There is something truly disturbing about conversing
with people who are can not see the similarities in themselves
with those they proclaim to oppose.
Peace.
BHN

[buff2]

27. I know.........

It's best to ignore them. You have said everything I feel myself. I'm glad to have ran into you.My heart aches for those who suffer and die horrible deaths and I don't care WHO they are.Tammy seemed like a true Christian lady to me. I have no doubt she is with the Lord right now. It's not too often I think someone is not a phoney "Christian fundie". I don't believe Tammy was.

[BeHereNow]

29. Doesn't matter if she was or was not- fact is...

She was a fellow human being and like all who pass deserves
compassion and empathy for her suffering.
I could understand some of the behaviours and posts
concerning her death if they were on some rabid RW board,
but not here on DU.
I think much more of DUers than some of what I have
read over recent months in response to certain people's passing.
In many cases, no respect for those mourning the loss
what so ever.
In my mind, that makes us no better that the
people we claim to be different from, which if you think about it,
is all the more reason to have no hope, where our collective demise
is concerned.
So much for a difference between the "left" and "right"
when one can not discern the difference on the Hate-o-meter.

25. I hope you have never done ANYTHING

wrong in your life.

If you have please post it so that we can dance on your grave when you die.

30. She was part of a church in my area -- she was a not-too-bright good-hearted woman

She was taken advantage of by a sociopath. She redeemed herself many times over
in later years.

We ALL make mistakes. Even you. Not everyone makes up for theirs.

[buff2]

31. Not too bright???

Not too bright is GEORGE W. BUSH. She wasn't anywhere near THAT stupid. I didn't see anything wrong with her intelligence. She had a beautiful voice too. I loved to hear her sing.

[melody]

32. Not bright in the ways of the world

If you'd read the post and not just the subject, you'd have seen my meaning.

[Raine]

34. One day karma is going to bite you

right in your ass. :evilfrown:

[sanskritwarrior]

36. What a jerk

stay on Maui, we don't need you on Oahu........

[MonkeyFunk]

37. She was a joyful, loving woman

and many are saddened by her death.

Some people go out of their way to make sure there are no mourners at their funeral.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

41. And I'm sure you're a pure saint, and have never fucked up enough to ask forgiveness for it...

:eyes:
I think Tammy Faye changed. I watched her on The Surreal Life, and she was delightful.
Why are you judging? I'm sure you've at some point in your life done something you were a little embarrassed about, something you regretted. And I'm sure you had to ask forgiveness from someone for it...and I'm sure at some point in your life someone has had to forgive you. And if that is true, then you're being hypocritical.
People do stupid shit in their life and I believe she tried after that whole thing to change the way she lived her life. You have no idea what she went through, so maybe until you know the WHOLE story about her, you'll let a suffering woman who was in pain rest in peace.

23. That's heartbreaking.

Rest peacefully, Tammy Faye.

[cboy4]

28. This is beyond devastating.....I can barely see what I'm typing

through my tears

[Raine]

33. Bless her heart

if there is a heaven I know she is there right now. O8)

[Buns_of_Fire]

38. May peace be with her. (n/t)

[ikojo]

39. This was so painful...she had a faith

to the end.
