(9,116 posts)1) We did confront Schlaffley in life.
2) Schlaffley's passing doesn't alter her footing one iota; she is just as incapable of defending her idiocy in death as she was in life.
3) Consider, perhaps, that while the news media is running neutral puff pieces on this toolbag's "contributions" to the American political discourse, now is the opportune time to remind everyone what an enormous piece of shit Phyllis Schlaffley really was.
4) Perhaps most importantly, there's nothing objectively immoral or unethical about speaking ill of the dead. Keeping silent doesn't make you a better person or put you on higher ground. Rather the opposite, keeping your trap shut while the dishonest and the deluded mourn the passing of vile personalities such as Schlaffley makes you an accomplist to dishonesty and delusion.
