Almost from the moment that Jerry Falwell's death was announced on Tuesday, the leftwing nutroots at the Democratic Underground began gleefully dancing upon his grave. Here are just a few of their hate rants about Falwell:
Uncharitable or not, I am sorry his death was not more painful and drawn out. He did not deserve a relatively peaceful, painless and quick death.
Rot in Hell Falwell!
May Pat Robertson and James Dobson be next.
I'm putting on my dancing shoes and am going to look for his grave!
One more nail in the coffin for the hate crime that is religion.
Pretty strong stuff. Even a few of the more rational DUers thought it was over the top and are now worrying about the backlash to their extreme hate rants against Falwell. One of these DUers goes by the screen name of earthlover who is now desperately worried that this backlash will ultimately hurt the Democrats at the polls. Here is some of the nervous commentary by DUer earthlover in a thread titled, Is Our Response To Falwell's Death Hurting Our Cause?
Since Falwell's death, these boards have been inundated with posts, many of which demonstrated absolute glee at his death and judgementalism that rivaled Falwell's...
...Followers of Falwell, and there are MANY, are going to be really angry to read or hear about such hostility coming from our side, especially during this time. This will motivate them to fight their fight even harder, and they will have all kinds of ammunition now to further their cause and to try to convince everyone that Democrats are a bunch of hypocrites who show the same sort of hatred they disdain in others...
...Members of the conservative media are already picking up on the profuse hatred being spewed forth on these boards. So, to those who think these boards are just a means to "vent," remember one thing: the whole world is watching...
...Most moderates, and most sane people, and ANYONE with common sense is going to see people dancing on the grave of a still-warm body as being reprehensible, stupid and just plain rude...
...So, the question I have for you: do you have a political death-wish? Democrats have a great chance of winning in 08. However, the sort of thing I have seen about Falwell is going to help...the Republicans! They already are skilled at getting elected by painting us as anti-religion. Who would have dreamt that Democrats would act the way they have done this past day? It is a nightmare to me, but it is a dream come true for the Republicans...
To answer your question, earthlover, yes you folks on the left do have a political death wish. Don't think the over the edge hate rants against Falwell in the leftwing blogosphere will go unnoticed. Much to your evident dismay they will definitely be remembered.
If you don't have the stomach to see the unfiltered sicko hate rants against Falwell directly in the Democratic Underground, you can read a large digest of their bile in the DUmmie FUnnies.

The dummie funnies has done a pretty good job of documenting the DU. If you get a chance general, check out some of the archives. It's enough to make you shiver with disbelief.

Liberals are the true purveyors of hate and intolerance
May 17, 2007 - 17:08 ET by Dave RAll these people are doing is expressing what most liberals feel but are afraid to say. We saw this with Cheney as well.
Liberals are the true purveyors of hate and intolerance in this world, not to mention every anti-social and unnatural perversion to come along, no matter how vile or filled with terrible consequences they may be.
It must be sad to go through life with such empty souls.

Dumocrats are into immediate gratification
May 17, 2007 - 17:55 ET by LionKingThese Dumocrats (aka liberals, aka socialists) are really into immediate gratification. They do not think into the future, only the now. They are more interested in making a power grab, or being hateful, or suspending the Bill of Rights, or murdering the unborn. They do not stand for anything of substance, but yet they are sympathetic to the terrorists of the world (aka Freedom Fighters, aka abortionists).
They really are not to bright and seldom practice critical thinking. They thrive on misinformation, deception and good-old-fashioned lies. Why worry about facts when the MSM can lie about the President or exclude the POTUS from the list of the 100 most influential people in the world.
And, in the utter audacity of this same MSM, they claim to be unbiased. The libs, though, claim that because FOX is not biased, that they are biased (Geraldo is a conservative along with Colmes). The Dumocrat prez hopefuls are AFRAID to debate on FOX yet they want to become the POTUS...when does the insanity end.

Falwell hatred backfire on libs? Nah.
May 17, 2007 - 19:16 ET by M_StuartThe Falwell hatred will not backfire on the libs. This is so tame compared with what they have routinely done and continue to do.
Rest in Peace, Brother Falwell. You might not have been perfect, but you sure have pushed the plow and taken the brunt of the anti-Christian leftoids. The enemediots won't have you to push around any more. May your successor continue your good work with renewed vitality.

May 17, 2007 - 19:38 ET by awffp1890Amazing that those who teach peace and tolerance are spewing forth such hatred. I cannot understand such hippocrisy.

May 17, 2007 - 21:00 ET by MikeBawffp1890, the left does not teach peace and tolerance, they only pay lipservice to it. They are peaceful and tolerant only as long as you are in lockstep with them. If you espouse any position that is not in accord with their vision of a socialist paradise, then you are immediately relegated to subhuman classification and are a fair target for their hate and vituperation. You are a rightwing extremist, and/or a racist, and/or a Nazi, and so on. As you know, extremists, racists, Nazis, etc. are irrational, and therefore, you are incapable of rational debate with a leftist. If you are incapable of rational debate, they don't have to debate with you, and your presentation of fact cannot have any meaning, or influence on how they feel about a topic.

These are the Democrats
May 17, 2007 - 21:51 ET by pbthinkerThese are the Democrats. For every one person, crying the blues about their incivility, there are 10 cheering in the background. Does anyone remember Paul Wellstone's Funeral? That wasn't the Democratic Underground booing the Republicans who attended, that was mainstream Democrats.
I doubt, however, this will cost them an election. It would if they were Republicans because the media would be asking every Republican leader if he condemned this sort of commentary. Have you seen anyone, in the MSM, asking any Democrat Leader this question? I know I haven't.
Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

May 18, 2007 - 08:16 ET by danboI'm an athiest. Quite apparent, Falwell and I disagree on some issues.
But watching the response to Falwell's death is telling. the people who have been claiming to love people and the planet are filled with such hate. The people who are celebrating his death rather than his life; are far more than tacky.
