Why do we laugh when a conservative endures something painful, some ironic humiliation, or even the death of a loved one?

"Because they laugh at us!!" That's not good enough. It's okay to lower ourselves to that kind of behavior? I say, bullshit. Whether you believe in Jesus or not, the words attributed to him have merit: Turn the other cheek. "


Speaking for myself here, I don't extract any joy out of watching people like Limbaugh suffer through drug addiction or repeated marital failures. What I do take from these events is comfort.

Anything that weakens the moral authority of these holier-than-thou hypocrites is another step towards saving the world. And I'm not exaggerating.

The hate and intolerance that people like Rush spew to their listeners every day is a slow, steady poison which is eating away at our nation's insides. Without RW hate radio constantly hammering away at the American public, do you think there would have been ANY support for the war in Iraq?

I can't turn the other cheek anymore. Believe me- I certainly don't wish bad on my enemies. But if a slew of indictments on drug charges will get that smug motherf*cker off his pulpit, then all the better.
