What also bothers me is that the same voices who bemoaned the passing of Gadaffi Joe the Revelator Mar 2012 #2

There was a big difference in the causes of the deaths MNBrewer Mar 2012 #17

Yeah, Gadaffi's was less tragic, and carried with it more reason for celebration. Joe the Revelator Mar 2012 #22

Obtuse, really obtuse. MNBrewer Mar 2012 #23

Not at all, unless you think the death of a murderer is sadder than the death of a journalist with Joe the Revelator Mar 2012 #24

One was killed as a result of military action, the other dropped dead. MNBrewer Mar 2012 #44

Not sure I'd call him a journalist. AlinPA Mar 2012 #74

Nobody "bemoaned" the passing of Gadaffi. EFerrari Mar 2012 #29

I disagree with that, silencing a voice in the debates makes the world quieter, to say better is Joe the Revelator Mar 2012 #10
