Uncivil liberals

The moonbats are twittering again, disgusting everybody whose social and emotional development is anything approaching normal. Hat tip to Michelle Malkin, though I'm feeling a little ill after wading through the swamp she pointed out:

Death would be to good for Cheney....... Now, if God would leave him in a vegitative state, that would be awesome!!!

The weight of his lies is causing Cheney his physical heart problems. If his death will bring back any semblence democracy to America, then I have no problem with it. However, I'd much rather see him tried and convicted of war crimes.

And so begins the Conservatives plan to remove Cheney from the VP spot and put someone else on deck to be President. This will also distract everyone from Iraq, DSM, and give them a much needed bump in the polls.
I dont know if its sad, brilliant, or one of the most frightening things our country will ever face. Will the power machine ever be stopped?

It's OK Dick; you won't have to fight in the war. Your too old now, so take a deep breath,we have young poor men to do that just like the ones who took the bullits for you in Vietnam tough guy.....

Whenever Cheney draws his last foul breath on this earth, and can deceive the American people no longer, I bet we'll all get to see HIS flag-draped coffin.

Doesn't this just make you feel like taking a long, hot shower with antibacterial soap?

I can't help but be worried about the unthinking, knee-jerk raw hatred illustrated by these posts. If the political debate in this country is essentially two-sided (conserverative vs. liberal), and one side is heavily tainted by such non-thought, what does that mean for the country's future? Certainly my premise about the debate being essentially two-sided is over-simplified. But the notion of the liberal side being "heavily tainted" is, if anything, understated. And so I do worry...

Update: By the (low) standards of this blog, it's being subjected to something of a "Huffalanche", apparently all due to the trackback I made for this post. Something tells me I'm very glad right now that comments are disabled here...though I suppose I should thank them for the increase in traffic the blog experiencing. If this keeps up, I may have to consider blog ads <smile>...

Update 2: As best I can tell, the twittering on the Huffington Post was all caused by this (AP):

Cheney visits orthopedist in Colorado

June 25, 2005

VAIL, Colo. (AP) -- Vice President Dick Cheney visited a renowned orthopedist Friday while in town for a forum held by a conservative think tank, his spokeswoman said.

Cheney met with Dr. Richard Steadman to evaluate an old football injury to his knee, Cheney spokeswoman Lea Anne McBride said.

Which of course the twitterers mainly dismiss as a lie (see the comments linked above; a little vaseline under your nose will make the stench more bearable).

Update 3: Somebody seems to have wiped out all the comments on this post (around noon Pacific time), though the trackbacks are still there. If this is evidence of maturity and/or good taste on the part of someone over at the Huffington Post, then I commend them for this action. These were just awful...

Update 4: Found this post by Arianna. I commend her. Thank you, Arianna!

Some of the comments posted to the Cheney news story are highly offensive, and we will therefore delete them. While we at the Huffington Post believe that the public has the right to know what the Vice President was at the Vail hospital for, we only wish him the best of health.
