Giving medicine to the dead

"Attempting to debate with a person who has abandoned reason is like giving giving medicine to the dead." --Thomas Paine


I generally am an economic Liberal first and foremost--it's not that the right to choose or being anti-capital punishment (or any number of other social issues) aren't important, but in the end none of them mean much if you can't put food on the table and a roof over your head.  Today, though, today....
 
I wouldn't be one to eulogize Whitney Houston--she was a very talented woman whose talents didn't appeal to my taste in either music or movies (uh, my Mom liked her for Christ's sake, and she wasn't cool in the way, say, Sam Cooke was--whom my mother also liked).  But the comments on the Fox News website after her death are literally sickening.  I am not exaggerating.  Most of the comments are from people who have all the grace of child molesters and serial killers.  They are literally inhuman.
 
Any Liberal who is down on President Obama, any Liberal who doesn't think that elections matter after the disappointment of Obama, any Liberal who is thinking of not voting in 2012 because Obama has been such a disappointment--whatever the reason, should take two minutes of his or her life and read those comments.
 
And then begin counting the minutes until you can vote for him again this November--because the people who made those comments will be sitting in your White House if you don't.
 
Peace,
