62. That's absurd

Nobody's trying to protect his reputation. They are arguing that it's asinine to celebrate somebody's death, especially when the the root cause of their animus against him was POLITICAL.

It's not just the notion of character assassinations and vendettas against people and organizations that people here are reacting to. It's doing all those things in furtherance of the right. That's the real crime.

I mentioned this on another thread, but take Al Sharpton for example. He did some really shitty things in his heyday, including some things that people have criticized Breitbart for, notably presenting misleading information in order to destroy people and careers. If the issue were just the tactics, then Sharpton would be hated here as much as Breitbart was. But we all know that's not the case.
