Show me one post where someone has been trying to protect his reputation.

Out of those of us that have been calling others out for their bloodthirst and hatred, all of us has been very clear that he was a bad dude that deserved legal consequences for the shady smear campaigns he engaged in.

We are just taking a moral stand against those who would take this whole thing to levels of nastiness that is unbecoming of those that would call themselves liberals. People who are posting things like "his children are better off without their father" and shit like that have no business associating themselves with liberalism. The very act of engaging in such hate filled grave dancing is evidence of someone missing the entire point of what the spirit of liberalism is all about.

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
