I am happy Justice Scalia died.....he was a a dirty rotten scumbag who....

[DrewFlorida]

had hatred in his heart.......I'm glad he is gone and I don't wish him to rest in peace....he was a piece of shit as far as I'm concerned!

[Skittles]

1. I'm just glad he is no longer a member of the Supreme Court

he was a partisan hack

[craigmatic]

2. I'm just wondering how Obama fills this seat.

[Kelvin Mace]

3. Come on now,

don't be coy. Tell us how you really feel

I promised I would never rejoice in anyone's death.

But I will smile a lot.

[TeddyR]

4. You need counseling

Way too much hatred. I assume you are a tea party type, since I wouldn't want people who actually wish death on a political opponent on my side.

On edit, this type of vile post should be discouraged on any website that purports to be "progressive."

[SoLeftIAmRight]

6. What is more nasty?

Saying nasty things ABOUT a dead person

or

Saying something nasty TO a living person?

you might want to rethink you post - I see hypocrisy

[SammyWinstonJack]

11. Where did the OP wish death on a political opponent on your side?

[DrewFlorida]

15. I never wished death on anyone...why would you say that?

I said I was happy he is dead.

[LiberalArkie]

35. Death could not have come to a nicer person.

[Katashi_itto]

12. Labeling someone you don't know a teabagger on the basis of a

of a post on a proven person of evil.

On edit, this type of vile post should be discouraged on any website that purports to be "progressive."

[DrewFlorida]

14. Don't put words in my mouth.....I never said I wished he would die.....

I said I was happy he is dead. You've twisted what I said.

[Maedhros]

26. When people prop themselves up by spitting venom at their enemies, it just makes me tune them out.

It provides nothing of value to any kind of discussion, they are just seeking validation by the tribe.

[DrewFlorida]

31. Yet you didn't tune me out.....already I don't trust you!

[Maedhros]

36. It's like hearing loud, unpleasant background noise.

I of course hear it (or, in the case of your post, see it), but I don't pay attention to it and don't ascribe any value to it.

If that's the kind of post you want to make, then by all means continue to do so.

[DrewFlorida]

38. I'm tuning you out the same way you are tuning me out.....LOL!

[Maedhros]

39. When you decide to enter the world of reasoned debate, I'll take you off my ignore list.

Until then, bye.

[DrewFlorida]

42. I think your ignore list is not working very well!

[DesertFlower]

29. i agree. nt

[backscatter712]

37. If that's the case, most of DU would have to be hauled to the psych ward.

Scalia was that fucking bad.

[Arugula Latte]

45. Ah, give it a rest. nt

[brush]

5. Schadenfreude over Scalia is, IMO, is quite understandable

That man did a whole lot of damage to the country — voting to roll back provisions of the voting rights act, Citizens United, selecting George W. Bush and thus Iraq, Afghanistan, ISIS, the economic crash and on and on and on.

He is not missed one bit.

[valerief]

7. We all feel that way. Ding dong the witch is dead! nt

[SickOfTheOnePct]

33. No, we don't all feel that way

Speak for yourself.

[valerief]

40. Well, I'm not a conservadem. BTW, welcome to my Forever Ignored club. nt

[SickOfTheOnePct]

44. You told me a month ago you were putting me on ignore

[840high]

8. Condolences to his family.

[Katashi_itto]

10. Screw his family, they were made very comfortable by the misery he inflicted.

[malaise]

13. Have to say

His timing was perfect - the only time I ever said thank you to him. GObama!

[Katashi_itto]

16. +1000

[mountain grammy]

23. Yes, exactly!

Timing is everything! I cannot manage even the tiniest bit of sympathy for this man or his family. Oh wait, I found something good to say: Thanks for dying while still on the Court, not only putting an abrupt end to your reign of bullshit, but while we have a Democratic president. Hey, it's not me! He was a devout Catholic all his life, it's divine intervention... very divine.

I feel like we're somehow clean again..

[malaise]

24. Not clean yet -but getting there

and as much as I hate Trump he's exposing a lot about the nasty underbelly.

[Marrah_G]

17. I agree, he was a bad person

I am sure his family though he was a swell guy and I feel badly for them. BUT, I am glad he is gone.

[bigwillq]

18. Notorious RBG loved him.

They were buddies. I am sure she is sad.

[dembotoz]

19. as a rule i do not feel sad over the death of assholes. and i do not for this scum bag if that

means i do not meet someone idea of being du progressive???

boo fucking hoo

[kentuck]

20. I guess some folks don't respect karma?

Scary.

[Act_of_Reparation]

22. That's probably because karma's not real.

Go figure.

[Arugula Latte]

43. Yep, there's no proof that karma, a supernatural being or "the universe" function as string pullers.

[Paladin]

21. My sentiments exactly.

Scalia did way too much damage to way too many people for me to feel otherwise. To those of you who are raising the inevitable "We're liberals, so we have to be polite" notion, I say: take another look at Fat Tony's originalist drivel and his overt politicizing of matters, and then re-evaluate your own feelings.

[alarimer]

25. Anyone who piously intones against grave dancing is a hypocrite

I'm with you here.

[Inkfreak]

34. Bullshit.

Never once felt the need. Never will.

[DesertFlower]

27. i didn't like him either but i would

never wish anyone dead. he did have a family who loved him. as a widow i know what it's like to lose a husband.

[Adrahil]

30. I didn't actively wish him dead....

But I am glad he is dead. He hurt people. And now he can't. I would have been just as happy for him to retire, but since he made it clear that wasn't gonna happen......

[Adrahil]

28. Me too. AMF! NT

[alarimer]

32. Anyone who piously intones against grave dancing is a hypocrite

It's literally meaningless when someone I don't care for dies.

[Greybnk48]

41. m with you, DrewFlorida. n/t
