I have deleted my Margaret Thatcher thread: Rejoice!

[PolitFreak]

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Lone_Star_Dem (a host of the General Discussion forum).

But the next time I try to argue with a wingnut that only Republicans can be hateful and vindictive, well, I really won't be able to argue that at all, will I? And, just in case, you should know that I like extra green peppers on pizza.

1. Mooooooooommmmmmmm!

Teh peoplze on teh intertubes iz bein meanz!

[Comrade_McKenzie]

2. No one will ever end the hypocrisy in politics...

I have no qualms about being hypocritical when it's useful.

But I salute principled people like you that speak out against it.

[PolitFreak]

7. Thanks

I can use all the recs I get.

[Hissyspit]

30. 'hateful' and 'vindictive' are OPs choice of words.

And by your own admission you were naive of who Thatcher was and what she did.

[Electric Monk]

8. I suspect you have an 'alert stalker'

At Tue Apr 9, 2013, 03:04 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

When one of us go on a shooting rampage or legislate against a groups of people get back to us.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

Yet another personal attack from devilgrrl. She doesn't seem to be able to help herself. In her ATA thread, Skinner said she's tied for the 2nd highest number of hidden posts.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue Apr 9, 2013, 03:09 PM, and the Jury voted 1-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Actually, I think devilgrrl is trying very hard since her discussion with Skinner. Also, I don't see an insult IN THIS POST. Sounds like you are trying to get her banned with your comments. Not gonna work.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: I suspect the OP (PolitFreak) is a multiple account returning disruptor.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: I wish I could vote to hide self serving non sequitur OP's
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Sounds like the alerter is busy keeping tabs on devilgrrl. That's rather worrisome. Maybe she should be warned that she obviously has a stalker.
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT and said: While I hate to give devilgrrl what she wants, another hidden post, this clearly falls outside of what I feel the community standards should be. This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, and otherwise inappropriate.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given

[Skidmore]

4. Aw, hang around and start a Reagan thread.

I'll be happy to tell you what I think about St. Ronnie too.

[HangOnKids]

5. You had a thread?

[PolitFreak]

9. Ooooo, such devastating wit!

[HangOnKids]

13. Oooooooo

[pintobean]

29. Ooooooo

[HangOnKids]

36. Thanks for popping in PB

I gave my DU ignore list an airing last month and it appears I forgot to put you back in the special place. After this post all will be well.

[pintobean]

38. It's nice to know I'm special to you.

[hrmjustin]

6. I am sorry you feel that way.

Remember Thatcher did many things that hurt people so you have to expect she would be hated.
I am sorry if people got personal with you here but most people here are very nice.

[Apophis]

10. Mommy! Teh interwebz iz mean!

[PolitFreak]

11. Oh, sorry!

Arctic Dave beat you to it. (See above.)

[Apophis]

12. Awwwwww.

[sibelian]

14. I shall avoid the temptation to dance on the grave of your dead thread.

Out of RESPECT.

"But the next time I try to argue with a wingnut that only Republicans can be hateful and vindictive, well, I really won't be able to argue that at all, will I?"

O_o

Strange thing to attempt in the first place. There's something of a difference between being hateful and vindictive in speech and being hateful and vindictive in action...

[Arugula Latte]

15. I will pass out thread death cake in the public square!

[HangOnKids]

16. And show this!!!

[HappyMe]

17. ALL cakes should immediately

be brought to the Lounge.

[Arugula Latte]

22. Okay. I'll bring some. And wine. And some cornflake chicken.

And some Olive Garden takeout. And a kitty.

[HappyMe]

25. Sounds good.

I'll go set the table.

Leave the cat here.

[Dash87]

18. THROW THE CHEEEEESE!

[La Lioness Priyanka]

19. republicans are hateful towards groups of people based in stereotypes and group membership

hatred towards one person based on their actual behavior is a whole different thing

i am not depriving any of civil rights and economic justice by hating people like margaret thatcher, ronald reagan and hitler.

[hrmjustin]

20. I don't like the idea of celebrating a death, but when Bush and Cheney die

I should think every bell in the land should ring out.

[Floyd_Gondolli]

21. That's because it would be your fight

Our fight. We lived Bush and Cheney. We suffered.

As opposed to those with their hair on fire who think that Margaret Thatcher's death is somehow relevant to their daily lives and will do all sorts of word jujitsu to make it so.

[hrmjustin]

23. Well I don't begrudge the people who suffered under her anything.

I personally would not do it. But when Bin Laden was killed I went to the WTC that night to celebrate so I should not be so judgemental of people.
By the way you are about to get to 1000 posts, congrats on that.

[Floyd_Gondolli]

28. I don't begrudge that either

I can understand why some in Britain are celebrating. Their fathers lost their jobs. Their homes were sold from underneath them. I'd be celebrating too. Your Bin Laden example is perfect. What happened that day changed this country for the worse for lots of reasons. It affected all of us one way or another.

Meanwhile the death of a woman who has been out of govt. for 25 years...not so much.

[hrmjustin]

32. Well people respond differently to things. It will calm after the funeral.

[Floyd_Gondolli]

37. True. If not before then.

Attention spans aint what they used to be.

[hrmjustin]

39. No they are not what they used to be.

[Walk away]

40. And yet so many working class Americans are still suffering from the policies...

she practiced on her countrymen and then encouraged and inspired Saint Ronnie to inflict on us.

[Hissyspit]

34. ???

Thatcher cheerleaded Bush's Iraq war. Her policies still affect our relationship to Britain today.

What nonsense.

[Lex]

24. Yes, all us lib'ruls celebrate everyone, dontcha know?

Spare me.

[WilliamPitt]

26. .

[HiPointDem]

27. wah wah. thatcher was a piece of human excrement. if that's hateful and vindictive, so be it.

[ZombieHorde]

31. "only Republicans can be hateful and vindictive"

I make many errors, but I try to avoid generalizations like this. General arguments are very often weak because exceptions are usually easy to find.

[riqster]

35. I posted rude things about her

Here, and on my blog: http://bluntandcranky.wordpress.com/2013/04/08/margaret-thatcher-and-annette-funicello-both-died-today/

Hateful and vindictive? Yeah, I expect it was. But when dealing with "conservatives", I am a firm believer in bringing a nuke to a knife fight.

[hrmjustin]

41. The OP has been banned
