Good riddance

I think the way people have acted (not just on here) about the death of someone that they dislike shows the main disconnect between the left and right.

I know that there are some sick people who claim to be on the right (Westboro Baptist Church) but for the most part you would never see a conservative cry out "woo hoo! Dawkins is dead!" or "Yes! I am so glad Pelosi was killed in car crash!"

Granted, I do not expect a tear to be shed for Pelosi but you catch my drift.

Nor will I celebrate when Newt Gingrich dies. There's a difference between disagreeing with something politically and hating someone who spews hate his entire life.

And I don't think this is a left/right issue. I guarantee you plenty of right wingers will be celebrating when Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton die even if it's not you personally.
