I'll won't be reading Newser any longer. I appreciated the spirited back and forth between me (a libertarian who was critical of both the major parties) and the majority of liberal-minded commenters here. However I can't stomach the sub-human comments that I've seen about the event of a person's death, a person who never killed anyone, just merely voiced his opinion. Though I know some of you have refrained from critical remarks at the loss of a human being, others of you have wallowed in the mire of your hatred. I don't deal with people like that.  When Ted Kennedy died, even though I personally disagreed with his policies, you would not have heard me say a negative thing about him on the occasion of his death. I save critical remarks like that for people who actually are murderers, not for someone who merely voiced a contrary opinion than mine. I'll continue to do what I can to voice my concerns about eroding individual liberties in other ways and in other places. But most of the comments I've seen here are simply disgusting, to the point where I'm not going to spend time talking to the kinds of people who make them. And while I fully expect to be shortly attacked by some people out of defensive emotionalism, I promise I won't be around to read it. To those liberal-minded people here who refused to stoop to the low level of voicing hatred about a man on the day of his death, you don't need me to tell you that sometimes being a decent person comes before making a political point at someone else's expense. I'm sure if I had met you out in real life, we'd disagree, but with a huge measure of respect. -30-

The far right has lost one of their false prophets!  Perhaps now, they might be saved!  Not likely though.  When you can accept the rants of a mad man, a liar, a slanderer, you need more than just the death of this beast!  Good luck to you!

There is an Old Irish Expression that reads:  "What goes around, comes around."  It certainly has in this triumph.  People who meaningly and viciously and totally out of character seek to destroy, malign, and harass soother people because of human and other failures, forget the words of the God of the Scriptures that say "do not budget, lest ye be judged."  No one gets an instance pass to Heaven and his self-promoting, arrogant, and overly eager attempt to practically analyze, and defame other people have come back to haunt him and lead him from this life (instantly and without a trace) to the next, where he will stand before the judgement seat of God and be reminded "whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers, that you do unto me."  His soul and his salvation need to be prayed for because he is now in a state of spiritual darkness.  It is not a very joyful presence to be declared a "Christian who is born again' at Campaign events and then to end up dying suddenly and proclaiming that the Lord has already "chosen" him as one of "His own."  A few words on a prayer card that say "I am born again, do not guarantee you a open door to the gates of Heaven."  We should all pray for this man, for his salvation and mercy at the hands of God, and for his poor family who has been left be hid.  Let us see what the media does about his death.  This was a major event.
