Why Liberals Cheer When Conservatives Die

By on 3.1.12 @ 11:58PM

Earlier today, Quin Hillyer ripped Matt Yglesias a new one after he went on Twitter to delight in the death of Andrew Breitbart.

Well, Yglesias was outdone by Matt Taibbi of Rolling Stone who wrote this afternoon, “Good! F#*k him. I couldn’t be happier that he’s dead.”

I would call on Rolling Stone to fire Taibbi but they’ll probably give him a raise.

All of which raises two questions.

1. Why do liberal pundits delight in the death of conservatives?

2. Why do liberal pundits have no shame in publicly expressing these sentiments?

You can probably give the same answer to both questions. Liberal pundits hate conservatives and their hatred of all things conservative knows no bounds. I would also add that liberal pundits aren’t very mature.

While I strongly disagree with liberals, I somehow manage to write obituaries about them without jumping for joy that they have left this mortal coil (i.e. former Boston mayor Kevin White, Andy Rooney and Jack Layton, the late leader of Canada’s NDP).

Outside of the bin Ladens of this world, I refrain from saying unkind words about the dearly departed. If someone dies and I have nothing nice to say about them, I don’t say anything at all. If only Taibbi, Yglesias and other liberal pundits practiced this principle. But in order to practice this principle one must have class and wisdom and neither Taibbi and Yglesias have demonstrated these qualities.

Liberals don't value life, and for their enemies, the unborn and even the recently born, they hate it. Your life is meaningless to them if you aren't useful to them, and if you dare speak out publicly against them, they will cheer the end of your life. They would probably even urinate on your body if they could. Libeals are the scum of the Earth.

Marconi| 3.2.12 @ 12:35AM

Too complicated Bob. Urinate on your body? Nah.

In fact have your coroner give you an enema when you die.

You can be buried in a matchbox.

tonypal| 3.2.12 @ 12:28PM

Our point is made.

Marconi| 3.2.12 @ 1:13PM

Your point was made by Breitbart.

tonypal| 3.2.12 @ 1:42PM

No, you make our point for us.

JJ| 3.2.12 @ 1:51PM

Liberals see it as one less person to kill.

getabibleandagun| 3.4.12 @ 1:41AM

Thank u for writing the truth!

Orange County California| 3.2.12 @ 2:09AM

Bob, people like you will ensure liberals will cheer when conservatives die. You personally are more scum of the Earth than anybody.

spike59| 3.2.12 @ 6:42AM

no, i would say it's the complete and utter lack of moral values inherent in the 'liberal movement' that guarantees their cheering when conservatives die-it's how you are wired

tonypal| 3.2.12 @ 12:28PM

Again, our point is made.

Orange County California| 3.2.12 @ 2:11AM

What about when our soldiers urinated on the Taliban when they shot them dead? Were you outraged about that? Obviously not, hypocrite.

spike59| 3.2.12 @ 6:40AM

We saved our outrage for when the Taliban was-and is- participating in the slaughter of innocent men, women, and children; i was 'displeased' with the urination, but i applaud the 'shot them dead' aspect...

Clint| 3.2.12 @ 8:05AM

Obviously, Liberals Are Proving That They Have Little To Cheer About.

David W| 3.2.12 @ 9:06AM

Ah yes, a perfect example of liberal moral equivalency. I'm not excusing the soldiers' actions, however their action was performed on men/animals who probably were, just a short time ago, shooting bullets, RPGs, or rockets/mortars at them. The only thing Breitbart did was to very successfully challenge the hypocrisy and stupidity of liberal ideas and values. So I believe that the liberals jumping up and down celebrating the death of Brietbart died and sending out foul and evil tweets would be a little more "severe" than urinating on the dead bodies of men who were just trying to kill you.

runningdeer| 3.2.12 @ 9:01PM

I was mad as blank and I love our military. What they did was wrong to America and to the uniform . It was a trashy thing to do and there was no honor in that behavior. But knowing what the Taliban has done to our people ( as well as their own kins people) I can understand why these men would do it.I'm not a liberal. The liberals who rejoice at death of a conservative is right in the same league as those who urinated on the dead. Trashy.

murph| 3.2.12 @ 5:38AM

BOB you are 110% correct.
I can only add that liberals are the most thin-skinned of all forms of excrement. (Exhibit A - is line of lib snivelers to Bob's comment)

When their repugnant values are challenged, they tend to expose themselves becoming easy targets for ridicule, or whatever else.

Ryan| 3.2.12 @ 11:39AM

Don't value life? You do realize that the reason conservatives oppose abortion is because in 18 years they will have more worm bodies to ship off to look for those "weapons of mass destruction". It's simply a delay in the process. You sound totally ignorant. Opposing universal health care. Translation? Let sick people die! Get a clue pal.

tonypal| 3.2.12 @ 12:40PM

Ryan, I guess it doesn't occur to you that conservatives might oppose things like abortion or national health care for reasons others than the ones you state.

Here's a thought. Perhaps conservatives disagree with you on universal health care because we believe there is a better, more cost effective way to cover the health care needs for the maximum number of people. It might be the case that we believe a government run health care system will ultimately prove to be inefficient and far too costly, quite possibly putting us in a situation where health care services need to be rationed.

I understand that giving some thought to these things might make it difficult for you to put forth a coherent, intelligent argument that demonstrates the superiority of your ideas. So unfortunately you do what anyone in your position is forced to do, call names and accuse your ideological opponents of wanting to kill people.

My suggestion is to emerge from your cocoon and actually talk to a few conservatives. Perhaps you even have family members or friends who disagree with you on the health care issue. Knowing what you know about them, does it seem plausible to you that they want people to die just so they don't have to pay into a universal system of healthcare? Think it over.

JJ| 3.2.12 @ 1:53PM

So Ryan, do you oppose murder? That would be a good enough reason to oppose abortion.

James Solbakken | 3.4.12 @ 7:08PM

"Opposing universal health care. Translation? Let sick people die! Get a clue pal." What if more people die because of expensive and incompetent government health care? Then you would need a new clue yourself, non, pal?

Linda| 3.2.12 @ 3:22PM

Do you realize how foolish and immature you sound? Why not take a moment to look at what you are doing. You might find three of your own fingers pointed in your direction.

If there is one thing I know about conflict, it is that people tend to make absurd, hateful generalizations about people that they disagree with, generalizations that are completely beyond the bounds of reason. At the same time they don't see when they (or people who agree with them) engage in similar behavior, and when confronted with that behavior, they rationalize it. Do you really believe "conservatives" don't cheer when "liberals" die? Many do, but people perceive offenses to themselves more clearly and more readily than offenses to others, so you probably don't notice or don't care.

runningdeer| 3.2.12 @ 9:08PM

Name one conservative who cheered at the death of a liberal. Show one example of the same behavior that liberals have shown toward Conservatives. Talk is cheap. Prove your point .

Linda| 3.2.12 @ 9:48PM

No you happen to live under a rock? Breitbart did this himself when Ted Kennedy passed, to say nothing of those others who did so less publicly, or through the anonymity of the internet. You can scroll down for some of Breitbart's comments, but I am not going to waste my time sending you links to other nasty comments when you are perfectly capable of finding them yourself. You could just read through the comments on this page! If you are implying that you never heard or saw any of this type of behavior from people who call themselves conservative, I simply do not believe you.

James Solbakken | 3.4.12 @ 7:10PM

"Name one conservative who cheered at the death of a liberal. " I didn't used to, but now I do., because I'm so happy when they slip on a banana peel; it saves me having to tie their shoelaces together.

Soljerblue| 3.2.12 @ 4:07PM

They haven't the ballz to kill you outright, so they devise governments, agencies, laws, rules, and standards to do it by degrees.

Marconi| 3.2.12 @ 12:33AM

Breitbart must have been a liberal, since he tweeted this when Ted Kennedy died:

"Rest in Chappaquiddick"
"a special pile of human excrement."

LOL at the ignorance on display from "Bob".

W| 3.2.12 @ 7:26AM

What is untrue about this?

Nolann Ryann| 3.2.12 @ 11:10AM

Mary Jo Kopechne was unavailable for comment.

Marconi| 3.2.12 @ 1:15PM

As is Breitbart.

tonypal| 3.2.12 @ 12:41PM

Really? Supply evidence.

Marconi| 3.2.12 @ 1:14PM

A bagger asking for evidence? Look outside your double-wide

tonypal| 3.2.12 @ 1:43PM

So in other words you have no evidence, just your childish hatred. Again, you make our point.

Linda| 3.2.12 @ 3:38PM

Alan| 3.3.12 @ 8:29AM

Look...don't take this wrong, but the difference appears to be fairly simple. Not REALLY too much thought required. There's a large body of evidence, most of it incontrovertible, that Ted Kennedy really was a REALLY bad person. Serial adulterer, compulsive philanderer, and, oh yes, murderer, who treated the horrific death of his "friend" with a casual disregard that qualifies for the designation: "depraved indifference." There's no indication, anywhere, at anytime, that Breitbart was any of those things. Ever.

There IS a difference.

James Solbakken | 3.4.12 @ 7:12PM

Ted Kennedy was a POS by any measure. Just like most liberals. There's nothing so bad one can say about liberals that will not understate their level of wickedness and evil.

Travis Hopson| 3.2.12 @ 12:38AM

I find it funny that Bob would use a phrase like "urinate on your body" when it was Republicans who cheered when our soldiers did that to our dead enemies. The fact is, Breitbart was a scumbag and a traitor in the purest sense of the word. As the other commenter noted, Breitbart cheered the death of Ted Kennedy, and has shown no remorse over the deaths of others he deemed political opponents. Why should he be treated in any less a fashion?

WVin MN| 3.2.12 @ 7:23AM

Your comparing murdering, child-molesting, child abusing, rapists to Breitbart? Please go rot in Hell faster. And yes, I cheer on anyone who urinates on such murdering scum or points out what a murdering scum-bag Ted Kennedy was.

Marconi| 3.2.12 @ 1:16PM

Aw, baggers are upset that Breitbart was a bigger bigot than them.

Marconi| 3.3.12 @ 7:46PM

I, on the other hand, am content to suck Bill Maher's cock on a daily basis.

Travis Hopson| 3.2.12 @ 12:42AM

Oh, and if you actually read the Rolling Stone article, you'd see that Taibbi spends the entirety of it praising Breitbart for his guts and attitude. Stop being a GOP stooge and actually do a little research.

Aaron Goldstein| 3.2.12 @ 8:36AM

Nonsense. Taibbi was damning Breitbart with the faintest of praise.

If a conservative blogger had said about Arianna Huffington what Taibbi said about Breitbart I doubt you would have such a charitable interpretation.

Ryan| 3.2.12 @ 11:48AM

If Arianna Huffington showed glee in certain deaths and enjoyed being hated, I would totally find the irony.

Floyd Looney | 3.2.12 @ 1:05AM

Remember that Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Hitler, Jim Jones et al were ALL leftists too.

spike59| 3.2.12 @ 6:37AM

don't forget Oswald and Sirhan-leftist 'warriors'

Marconi| 3.2.12 @ 1:17PM

Right, another bagger with no clue of the world.

Stalin was a communist. He was at war with Hitler, a fascist.

If you do not understand the difference between Fascism and Communism, oh wait, you are a bagger, why would you?

W| 3.2.12 @ 3:32PM

Hitler's party was the Naitonal Socialists. All were authoritarians of the left. Mussolini was also a socialist.

Renard| 3.2.12 @ 9:28PM

And, you "Marconi" (an insult to a great man, by the way), are a Zhopalis'. Since you love to use disgusting terminology to defile your enemy (yes, you ARE the enemy here), I will use even more disgusting terminology. You'll just have to look it up.

Orange County California| 3.2.12 @ 2:08AM

Aaron, right-wingers like you are hypocrites. Most right-wingers cheered and were gleeful when Ted Kennedy died, so why should people like me cut Andrew Breitbart any slack? Everything with you right-wingers is a one-way street. You want to be mean to us but you want us to be nice to you. Go to hell, ain't gonna happen. I'd like to see you put up a blog with the headline "Why do conservatives cheer when liberals die," but you won't because like all right-wingers, you're a hypocrite.

Bob K.| 3.2.12 @ 9:00AM

Many liberals like you cheer when conservatives die because you still aspire to Marxism and it's "classless society." Unfortunately too many of you confuse and conflate it by acting with "no class." But that is not hypocrisy on your part; just ignorance.

Alice Moore| 3.2.12 @ 10:40AM

Orange, compare and contrast the conservatives' reactions to the death of Christopher Hitchens a few months ago, to the joyous capering of your side over Breitbart today. Your side is supposed to be compassionate and looove all people. Instead I see a meanness and hypocrisy.

James Solbakken | 3.4.12 @ 7:15PM

"conservatives' reactions to the death of Christopher Hitchens " Hey, maybe the difference that normal people like us and the late Mr Hitchens believed in principles; the true liberals hate principles because principles stand in the way of their evil. Ol' Chris Hitchens might have been wrong sometimes in my estimation, but he was not evil, like Marconi and OCC

Jobe| 3.2.12 @ 10:58AM

Hey Orange County California: Is this your place of residence coming out, or is it your room temperature I.Q? Ted Kennedy was a liar, a cheat, not only on his wife, but also on the country that he professed to love. He was an alcoholic, sex obsessed coward who was not onlyl responsible for the death of an innocent young woman, but also used his connections to cover up his cowardice. And he was the IKON of the democaratic party. You should be quiet and hang your head in shame if you have even an iota of respect for this usless husk of a human.

tonypal| 3.2.12 @ 12:42PM

Supply evidence for us my friend.

Simon Templar| 3.2.12 @ 2:09AM

Travis Hopson liberal troll,

It is not your cheering over the man's demise that I take issue with or for that matter any conservative. It is expected for almost all of you except for a few exceptions because this is your nature as liberals and to some degree the nature of many people today.

What I am concerned about is what you say about the living,you hypocrits! The way you smear, attack, intimidate, and lie about your opponents is the real issue here. No one is exempt from disabled children of politicians to their wives and husbands. Please do not talk to us about ethics and values, you have neither.

You will steal 500 billion from old people to pay for your national health care and not even bat an eye when you charge that Republicans want to push granny over the ravine.

Orange County California| 3.2.12 @ 2:15AM

Wow Simon. I guess it takes a troll to know a troll.
For you to say that liberals cheering conservatives when they die is "expected" shows how much of a moron you are. You also complain about liberals smearing, attack, intimidate and lie about our opponents when in truth it's you right-wingers who do that to liberals. Like Aaron, you're a hypocrite and a liar.

Marconi| 3.2.12 @ 1:18PM

Well said!

Marconi| 3.3.12 @ 7:47PM

Bill Maher will be apologizing for calling Sarah Palin a "cunt" any day now.

Simon Templar| 3.2.12 @ 7:53PM

A troll to know one? LOL.
Yeah, idiot boy.... I am the conservative blogging on a conservative web site designed and published for conservatives. You are the GD troll that does not belong here.

It is expected because you do it every time like the knee jerk liberals you are. No one is exempt from your vileness dead or alive. You do not see republicans or conservatives mounting million dollar campaigns to bring about hundreds of frivolous lawsuits to destroy financially and politically, with mountains of lies, an ex-candidate for VP and the when it is all over find that all of them were bogus crap. This was done a year after the campaign to smear and destroy someone, their family, and their beliefs.
Hey, ask marconi boy to explain to us one more time the difference between Hitler and Stalin?
Go catch a wave and drown yourself...

Koozebane| 3.2.12 @ 3:27AM

Who cares what leftists type? Andrew would have reveled in their ugliness.

Leftists hate Andrew because they always clumsily blundered into every single trap he set out for them.

spike59| 3.2.12 @ 6:36AM

they literally (and not in the debbie wasserderp schultz sense of the word) cannot help themselves; as 'progressives', they are utterly convinced that they are helpless victims-doomed to being pushed around by reality; as such, they revert to the infantile impulse to screech, wail, and lash out in rage at the drop of a hat

post*tenebras*lux| 3.2.12 @ 7:44AM

"While I DISAGREE, I somehow MANAGE", liberals need to go to DISAGREEMENT MANAGEMENT classes".

Le Cracquere| 3.2.12 @ 8:22AM

Wear it proudly. If the people now cheering Breitbart's death were, one day, to cheer my own, I would know that I had lived a useful, virtuous life; that I had fought the good fight; that my aim had been true. The hatred of an Yglesias or a Taibbi is worth the praise of a dozen good men.

Let the hit dogs continue to howl.

Cato462| 3.2.12 @ 10:23AM

THIS.

The American Hitman| 3.2.12 @ 8:32AM

You're too nice. They are animals who share none of your basic values. You and they have nothing in common--both sides are trapped in a bad political marrage. Breitbart got this.

Crosscut| 3.2.12 @ 8:41AM

The lib Media went on nearly 24/7 over the death of a drug addict urban yodeler but only a slight mention of the passing of an American hero and patriot.

Ryan| 3.2.12 @ 11:57AM

More people liked Whitney Houston, deal with it!

JJ| 3.2.12 @ 1:53PM

They liked a romanticized version of Whitney Houston, one that ended 15 years ago.

albert constantine jr.| 3.2.12 @ 8:55AM

The liberal trolls prove Mr. Goldstein's point with their vituperative remarks here.

DRed| 3.2.12 @ 10:19AM

Aaron, your previous post rightly criticizes fat drug addict Rush Limbaugh for calling a woman a slut for having the temerity to try to testify about birth control. (as an aside, read the comments to your own post if you'd like a examples of conservative decorum) But now you ask why it is that liberals have no shame about being publicly rude and insensitive? The fairly obvious answer is that there are people from all over the political spectrum who are rude and disrespectful. Hell, that's how Mr. Breitbart made a name for himself. If he was alive he'd probably laugh and tell you to stop being such a whiner.

CforUS| 3.2.12 @ 10:32AM

I think more than anything Yglesias and Taibbi are relieved. They needed to blow off a little steam. Now there's one less Conservative with a big voice that consistently and effectively exposed them and their flawed liberal ideals for what they are, lacking in reason, common sense, and seeks to deprive the majority of Americans of their liberties and freedoms. Since they lack the common sense and intelligence necessary to counter Andrew Breitbart's intelligence, skill and popularity, they are left with locker room trash talk.

Derek Leaberry| 3.2.12 @ 10:32AM

Liberals hate conservatives and Republicans and even neo-conservatives, of which they are close ideologically. What's the surprise?

LogicalUS| 3.2.12 @ 10:35AM

Brietbart would have expected nothing less.

He understood the reason that they hated him with such intensity...

He showed them for what they truly ARE, not for what they PRETEND TO BE.

uncleFred| 3.2.12 @ 11:41AM

It's rather simple.
Conservatives generally separate their attitudes toward the political positions and policies goals held by someone, from their view of that person as an individual.

Liberals generally personify a person based on those factors.

So, discounting cases of personal misconduct, conservatives see a liberal's policies as evil or harmful not the person. While liberals see the conservative as evil personified, and quite logically believe that conservatives need to be expunged for the "good" of society.

Thus they have no problem equating someone like Bretibart with a taliban terrorist. They see both as an evil threat. This is one of the reasons that discourse has become so difficult.

With regard to the late Ted Kennedy, my sister died of that cancer and I would wish that death on no one. I did not relish his death. There is a strong case to be made that his power and privilege allowed him to walk on a manslaughter charge and one can see how some people would feel that event makes him worthy of contempt as a person.

tonypal| 3.2.12 @ 12:47PM

Bingo. For liberals, public policy positions are analogous to private morality. So Bill Clinton can sexually harass as many women as he wants. Hell, he can even rape them. But it's okay with the feminists because he's pro choice. I was always fond of asking my liberal friends how many women Clinton could abuse before they would finally turn their backs on him. Never got an answer.

ams| 3.2.12 @ 1:20PM

I don't think you've ready some of the other posts by self-described "conservatives" above... The American Hitman called liberals "animals." According to Murph, "liberals are the most thin-skinned of all forms of excrement," which doesn't even make sense. I have long found Taibbi to be offensive and juvenile, and his remarks on Breitbart were right in line with the low opinion I have of Taibbi. I don't think either side is on the high ground with this issue.

Marconi| 3.2.12 @ 1:20PM

Laughable justification of bagger behavior.

Conservatives are just upset that a black man is in the White House. Talebanization of America is the only way out for them.

That is why they ignore what Breitbart said and di in wake of Ted Kennedy's death in the SAME ARTICLE condemning such behavior.

The worst hypocrites in politics today: baggers.

jackphat| 3.2.12 @ 7:54PM

I couldn't help but notice that you used the term "bagger" several times. I'm sorry but why can't you left leaning individuals not remember that once you resort to name calling YOU'VE lost the argument. Hahahaha!

Renard| 3.2.12 @ 9:55PM

Exactly, Jack. I agree with you entirely. They are pathetic.

Marconi| 3.3.12 @ 7:50PM

"Bagger" is a term of respect for the FPS gamers who have their balls in my mouth on a regular basis.

James Solbakken | 3.4.12 @ 7:22PM

"The HATE for Andrew wasn't because he was a Conservative but because he was a lying, Scumbag."
That won't fly because liberals call everyone who is not 110% in agreement with them lying scumbag. Like, for example, Joe Lieberalman. He wasn't lieberal enough for the wackos and he got the Sara Palin/Andrew Breitbart treatment. So go try to sell your crazy somewhere else, 'cuz we ain't buying it here.

Oldefarte| 3.2.12 @ 2:00PM

Liberals and most Democrats today are mostly SCUM with a capitol '''S'''''. As Braitbart once indicated that THIS AIN'T YOUR MOMMA'S DEMOCRATIC PARTY accordingly. This party is nothing but a radical bunch of anti-Americans and they disguise themselves and their message to brainwash other into voting for them. Hence 11/4/08!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JimH| 3.2.12 @ 2:03PM

Sometimes a person is defined by who their enemies are. Wherever Andrew now is I'm sure is is pleased by the venom expended at him by the more rabid members of the left because it shows how effective he was when he was with us. My prayers for his family.He will be missed.

jrchambers| 3.2.12 @ 2:31PM

I do not jump for joy when anyone dies. Jesus is my Lord and Saviour. Politics is not my Lord and Saviour. Right wing, left wing, middle of the road and others. In the final analysis, life is precious. Hatred is unacceptable by God. Politics is secondary to me. But not to some people. To some; politics is the only religion they have. Simon the zealot was called by Jesus to follow Him. STZ made the right choice. He chose eternal life over political zeal.

Simon Templar| 3.2.12 @ 8:06PM

Very admirable. You are also called to fight the good fight and you will be asked if you defended his name, his truth, and if you resisted.

When those that mocked his name, his truth, his commandments, and his people, a sheperd boy jumped up and said, " I will defend his name and his people."

The Lord you worship also calls himself a warrior.

You are correct, we should not jump for joy when anyone dies. Saul fell, but David did not rejoice even when he had good cause.

Pea Scott| 3.2.12 @ 5:24PM

As I just read, you don't celebrate someone in death that you didn't celebrate in life. And Breitbart proved that with HIS comments about Ted Kennedy hours after HE died!

Over the course of the next three hours, Breitbart unapologetically attacked Kennedy, calling him a “villain,” “a big a** motherf@#$er,” a “duplicitous b*stard” and a “pr*ck.” “I’ll shut my mouth for Carter. That’s just politics. Kennedy was a special pile of human excrement,” wrote Breitbart in one tweet.

As my Momma always said, you reap what you sow!!

Marconi| 3.3.12 @ 7:54PM

Since we all agree that hating on our enemies is acceptable if the other guy does it, everybody here is free to celebrate Matthew Yglesias' appointment in Hell with Josef Stalin just as soon as he kicks off, and recommend that his body be ground up and flushed down the toilet.

1blumutt| 3.3.12 @ 10:34PM

Easy call, the liberal media yappers have no professionalism....stuck in an adolescent emotional mentality.
