Pain Knows no Politics: A song and a prayer for Kennedy
If any of you have ever known a close friend or family member that has suffered with cancer, or if you have been a survivor yourself, you'll understand that it's always sad when somebody suffers. It doesn't matter if that person has a different point of view, or that the person may have rubbed you the wrong way in the past. When one person suffers, we should all rally around the person and support him or her. Shortly after hearing about the news that Senator Kennedy had brain cancer, I was listening to the Ralph Bailey Show, and noticed that Ralph had nothing but positive things to say about the Senator. And I know that Ralph's politics and those of Kennedy's rarely gel. But Ralph got it right. You don't kick a man when he is down. You remember him in your thoughts and prayers and you wish him the best. That is the sentiment behind the song posted here.

You're welcome, random. I appreciate each of your comments. Pain, suffering and tragedy should serve to remind us that we are all flesh and blood, and that politics should never stand in the way of our ability to feel and to express compassion. posted by

Thank you BLT, this is how everyone should react to the news on Kennedy, on this same topic though, what do you think about left wing blogs like Daily Kos and Huffington post who let people blog ugly hate speech about any conservative person who happens to get cancer or has a accident?, they always blog how they want the person to die and how they deserved it, I find this very offensive, but when Kennedy has cancer, you hear nothing like that from Conservative bloggers, notice the difference?, why do the Liberals blogg this way on those sites?, Random?? care to explain this? posted by

Mountianman, that is totally incorrect. TomW posted a link to the DailyKos entry on Tony Snow, for example. Anyone posting negative stuff got hooted down, and the vast majority were sympathetic. . Contrast that with FreeRepublic yesterday, where they actually had to take the blog entry on Kennedy down because they couldn't keep up with all the yahoos posting crap. . Part of it is the difference between right-wing blogs, which tend to be centrally controlled and very quick to kick people out, and left-wing ones where the trolls are refuted or (more often) played with. posted by

And all their ugly comments about Nancy Reagan?, On the Huffington Post, the following hateful comments were posted about the former first lady:
There are dozens of other vile comments available for your reading pleasure on the Huffington Post. Apparently, Arianna Huffington, the woman who runs the site, has no problem with publishing hate speech. Ms. Huffington has the power to remove this trash immediately, but she chooses not to. posted by

I try to stay away from all sites that breed hatred and kick people when they're down. I'm against hate speech, wherever it might rear its ugly head. I'm into putting positive energy into the world, not into adding to the negative energy. posted by
