lol. I am sure by now, she has met with the victims of communist imperialism, the perpetual war machine, ' So that communism shall dominate the Earth, now and forever ! ' their insane dogmatic slogans. A horror, the human form of a vampire, devouring souls. If you see the apparition rise from the crypt, pierce the cold heart with a wood stake, end the creature. ' Nos vemos en el infierno vampiro ! '

Although I do not like liberals (Now I don't like any extremists) I did like her- She was very pro-Military and did a lot of good things. I disagreed with some of the things she did...But most of my friends would rant about her "Anti-gun" stance....I could understand why she was that way (The shooting at SF City hall)
I also do not like career-pols.....Believe 1000000% in term limits for everyone- what is good enough for the Pres is good enough for everyone...generally speaking- you go in for 2 terms and then get the >F< out and you wouldn't have as much time to develop your little political "Gang"
Also, I believe that congress and senate should be required to spend at least 200 days >>IN THEIR DISTRICT<<....Voting remotely...and every constituent would be notified immediately of their vote.

I agree with you on everything you have just stated.

OMG!! I need to mark this day down...I was right for once (Although my ex-GFs would swear up and down (And I do mean swearing) that I am a complete idiot) (Still studying...)
(That is just my sarcasm- I appreciate finding people who agree with my ideas...I keep a running tally- up to 5 1/2 (Not sure what the "Half" means)
I believe that term limits should be passed but....I remember when the Reps got in power back in the mid-90s and one of Newt's promises "term Limits"....then, in power..."Oh- term limits are against the Constitution" I wanted to personally string Newt up by is thumbs!
I also think that LAWYERS should be barred from govt office because they make laws for themselves...Once again- no chance of that passing- too many lawyers who would NEVER vote for such a thing....
Mocking the recently deceased is such a classy move.
I'm sure you were equally as critical when liberals were mocking the death of Limbaugh, Reagan or pretty much any other high-profile conservative, right?

Do you think there's a record of anything like that on this forum? Anything that sticks in your mind?
It's an honest question.
I go back to 2010 on the forum. I can't think of anything like a "mirror image" of Wichita's mocking of the late Dianne Feinstein, that would have been posted to "diss" the passing of Rush Limbaugh or Ronald Reagan or some other high-profile Republican or conservative.
I'm not saying that it didn't happen. But nothing that I remember of that kind, and I do have an odd way of remembering posts on this forum, even from some years ago.
Even if there were such a precedent, it wouldn't erase the ugliness of Wichita's "contribution" in this thread.

What, you think I keep track of who's mocked who's death on this forum... if that's even occurred prior to Wichita's tasteless post? I sure as hell wouldn't mock anyone's demise, even a flimflamming shyster's such as Donald Trump. Wouldn't want the bad karma.
You were a member here in June of 2004 when Ronald Reagan died. I challenge you to go find a post from any PFF "liberal" who made light of his passing.

You missed the point.
Some people here claim conservatives are better people than liberals. Kind of shoots that theory in the foot to say "We all do it".
Rush Limbaugh died not all that long ago, in February of 2021.
Did anything as grotesque appear on this forum upon the passing of Rush Limbaugh, as what's been posted here by Wichita, in reference to the late Dianne Feinstein? Or is there any other parallel on this forum to what Wichita has done here?
It's an honest question. I can't think of anything. But that's what it would take to support the accusation of hypocrisy from otakadude, in which otakadude says "I'm sure [that you, Patrick] were equally as critical when liberals were mocking the death of Limbaugh, Reagan or pretty much any other high-profile conservative, right?"
Come up with an example if you can, but without such an example, all I see here is otakadude making an empty and misleading accusation, and Fats bleating like sheep about it in an equally meaningless way.
If I were Fani Willis, I would investigate the possibility of bringing RICO indictments against Fats and otakadude for conspiring to mislead the public under the color of their offices as Pennock's forum members.

She will prove the VERY basic and primal principle of "if you think things couldn't get worse, the leftists will prove you wrong". It is an ABSOLUTE certainty that the leftists will aggressively seek out with EXTREME prejudice an even worse person to replace it.

I never said that unkind words were said on this forum as we're generally a better tempered group of people than the internet at large.
However, I'm sure we all remember that when Limbaugh passed away, social media sites of all sorts and sizes were inundated with leftists both mocking his death and voicing desires to defile the grave site.
While conservatives pushed back upon such crass behavior coming from the left, I never once saw a liberal asking his fellow travelers to tone down the vile rhetoric.
So to now see leftists demanding civility and respect when one of their political leaders pass away strikes me as more than just a bit hypocritical.

"We all remember"? You really think that Rush Limbaugh's death was a significant event in world history? Sorry, but it hardly rates up there with JFK's assassination.
And you actually feel that certain members of PFF (me in particular) are somehow responsible for what the great unwashed have posted elsewhere? Get real.

When Patrick called out Wichita for having posted such a stupid remark about the passing of Dianne Feinstein, he did not connect Wichita with any particular group or ideology,
What we have here, from otakudude, is the unthinking "Politicization of Everything."
It's a step backwards—not forwards.

Please don't use "Limbaugh" in the same sentence with "Reagan".
Limbaugh was a provocateur attack dog who lived to insult and demean people. When a person like that dies he deserves all the hate comments. Death does not wipe out all the horrible disgusting things he said.
Reagan was President of the United States. I did not agree with all his policies, but he did not brag about being complete ******* like Limbaugh did. When he died I did not deify him like many on the right, but I did not insult him either.

I had no interest in connecting Wichita's tasteless comment to any particular group, political or otherwise. It honestly never even occurred to me to do so. Mocking the physical appearance of a 90 year old deceased woman whose body hadn't even cooled down yet just struck me as a disgusting thing for any individual to do.

it is indeed a crass thing to do but individuals on your side of the aisle have made such activities a standard practice whenever a public persona who promoted a conservative ideology passes away.
Liberals can't turn a blind eye to such activities and then clutch their pearls when some conservative does the same in turn.
[This message has been edited by otakudude (edited 10-08-2023).]
That's the only part of your post that's worthwhile repeating. The rest is just irrelevant BS. You're not going to hold me accountable for what might be posted by unknown persons on unknown forums. Give your head a good shake, man.

Would you care to call out and publicly chastise fredtoast for the comment he made about Limbaugh's passing within this very thread?
In case you don't remember, he said "When a person like that dies he deserves all the hate comments."
Unless you're willing to reprimand one of your own on crass behavior, you effectively stand with them and their actions.
I've been poking around and I can't find anything about this. He was strong in his opinions but I never saw him overtly insult anyone, much less snipe like everyone seems to do when politics are discussed. What happened?
The entire forum was glad to see him gone... except for you apparently. Maybe you can track him down wherever he now promotes his brand of nonsense, and exchange pleasantries with him.
[This message has been edited by Patrick (edited 10-09-2023).]
I just saw that MidEngineManiac has been banned. What happened?
I know that certain people from the other side of the aisle didn't like his posts but his rating was decent and I didn't see anything within those posts that warranted an administrative ban.
Did I miss something?
Yes, you obviously missed a great deal. But sure, keep on trying to admonish me for calling out a tasteless post.

Dig into my posts all you want but that still doesn't change the fact you admonish incivility from those on the right while continuing to wallow in the mud with those on the left.

Are you really this dense or what? I was admonishing Wichita, not the "right". I don't represent the "left", I don't speak for the "left", the "left" has no control over me. I don't give a hoot who you or Wichita think you're a part of... I was calling out a tasteless post by a member of this forum. Nothing more, nothing less. You don't like my criticism of Wichita's tasteless post? Fine, you've shown what you're made of. Not something I'd particularly be proud of.
Forum member fredtoast said "When a person like [Rush Limbaugh] dies, he deserves all the hate comments," and that's debatable. It's a statement that could be improved upon with some more considered wording and elaboration.
There's a contrast between that, and the grotesque image that Wichita used, which is way more visceral and "in your face."
The words from fredtoast are like stumbling upon a page that has come loose from a Jehovah's Witnesses pamphlet and has blown onto your lawn.
The image from Wichita is like encountering feces on your lawn from a neighbor's large dog.
Forum member otakudude would do well to contemplate what Patrick said to him:

Absolutely! It's not Patrick's fault that otakudude went to the social media site(s) where the disrespectful and ugly remarks and images about the newly late Rush Limbaugh were posted. It's incumbent upon otakudude to think more carefully about whether he wants to be online and how to be online.

rinselberg, why does Wichita live rent free in your head?
Do you always wear your buttons on your sleeve?
I don't feel stressed by my awareness of Wichita.
He's singular, among the forum's regular participants.
More often than not, he speaks indirectly, through memes and cartoons, and images which he sometimes captions. This has prompted me to liken him to the legendary Oracle of Delphi.

Do you think you'll look any better, should you be fortunate enough to reach 90 years of age?
