Harry Reid Dead At 82

[McDad]

Elucidate now. I haven't accused you of anything. All I'm saying is that i don't prefer to talk ill of the dead and that media figures make themselves public. You may think politicians are worse because they vote on things, but media figures are still public figures who try to influence votes.

You have successfully summarized a poster's opinion. Unfortunately, it is your own.

What is my opinion on the subject?

 

[McDad]

Absolutely. You really should go to the thread which marked Rush Limbaugh's passing, and read what I posted when you get there, while keeping in mind that I was obviously no fan of his. It was in February, so it probably is several pages back, but I'll wait.

PLEASE DO IT!

Some of you look very small with these tasteless posts.

I read through the first few pages a few minutes ago.
You were gracious and mature. LG was, too.

It seems to be that media figures are shielded from criticism upon death because they don't actually vote on things. Just because I don't agree with your opinion, doesnt mean I don't understand what it is.

You're the one defending trashing dead politicians because they disagreed with you.

Don’t want to get publicly trash talked after you die by those who disagree with your public stances, then don’t chose to live your life on a stage.
Everyone who has made that choice knows it will likely happen after their death. It sure seems like they didn’t care about it or they’d have chosen a different life path.

You don't understand. Your summary is incomplete.
I find it weird (to me) that I think (me, again) it's more tasteless to deride in death a media personality or entertainer than I do a politician.
I do not care if anyone wants to bash either, especially a politician. In fact, I think it is good to post our true feelings about it and not hide behind platitudes.

Madden too. One more for rule of 3's

The 3 will always complete its cycle.

 

[clarksvol00]

Not at all.
I am saying I (as in me, the singular entity known here as mcdad) find it more classless to trash an entertainer than I do a politician.

I find them equal. That's not me not understanding. It's me disagreeing.

 

[clarksvol00]

You need to speak more clearly … jeez.

No he doesn't. You just need to understand I don't have to agree.

I never asked for you to have any class.

I'm at peace with you disagreeing.

 

[clarksvol00]

I'm at peace with you disagreeing.

I can live with that.

 

[NorthDallas40]

No he doesn't. You just need to understand I don't have to agree.

I understand completely and have since you started this meandering diatribe. All I can recommend is you take a little input from Mcdaddio’s post below. We don’t have to agree we are each entitled to our own opinions and views.

Same here. "I can't believe you're disagreeing with me on a message board."

Lol. Ok sure that’s what I said. Let it go.

Lol [emoji]. Let it go.

Lol. Go get an adult to tuck you in to beddie by time you’re acting out needlessly. Good night CV!

Same to you.

 

[NorthDallas40]

Same to you.

You desperately want the last word don’t you.

Dad passed Dec 26, 2008. This Christmas was especially difficult for me and I haven't yet figured out why.

Its just like that sometimes … August for me .

 

[clarksvol00]

Yes.

 

[NorthDallas40]

Yes.

Ok. Good night CV!

Proud of yourself for this? Do you feel like one of the cool kids now? LOL.

Reid’s longtime chief of staff died in (lets just say) strange car crash about a month ago.

 

[Weezy]

Reid was willing to progress dirty politics, go where we had previously been not willing to go. In my industry, he put a political tool I'm as chairman of the NRC, who them used his position to bully the closure of Yucca and later advocated for the banning of nuclear power. Prior to that, the NRC was a standard bearer for regulation, and he made it another political agency. He bungled our public response to Fukushima.

 

[southgatevol]

Nobody said he's elected. That doesn't make him less of a hack.

Wait. Did you not just speak ill of the dead? Calling a dead man a hack because you disagree?
