"A fire in Colorado, HAR HAR, THAT'LL teach those Libertarians!"

How was that comment, which was highly lambasted on the DU, different than jokes about hurricanes hitting Florida while the Republicans are in town?

(Do I need to cite the threads joking about the possibility of hurricanes ruining the GOP convention?)

This ain't funny. When a hurricane hits, people get killed. And not all of them are Republicans. Just like when the fires hit Colorado - it wasn't just John Galt's fans who suffered losses.

of a hurricane of strippers getting ready to welcome the holy men of politics into town. That's really funny.

I don't relish wishing a hurricane on Florida. To be honest, even if someone was that hard-hearted it might be counterproductive and make people have sympathy for the GOP.
