2) Because he’d just died.

They weren’t kidding about the right-wing’s persecution complex. You guys just have a pathological need to be the victim, don’t you?

So why did you wish a man who just passed away a Merry Christmas?

Tell us your intent, since we are too stupid to understand.

I know Jerry Ford was born Leslie King.

Why would you refer to someone by his birth name that is no longer his legal name? Especially when his legal name is the name he used well before he became famous?

He wished him a Merry Christmas — so what?

And the desire to wish Ford, of all people, a Merry Christmas just popped into his head? I’m sure it had nothing to do with the fact that he just died. Why do you wish a man who just died (who happens to be a Republican) a Merry Christmas? Do you really think his family was thinking, “Gosh, what a merry Christmas!”

At least Red is honest enough to not back away from the disrespect of a man who just passed away.

I think you’re just looking to be offended.

If I wanted to be disrespectful to a dead President I’d have said something insulting.

JWG: add “big mewling baby” to that.

Funny coming from someone who thinks the PotUS cussing with food in his mouth is somehow “charming” and called those that suggested that it might be bad table manners “elitest”.

D L: Leslie King was Gerald Ford’s name at birth. You may not have heard, President Ford died yesterday.
Wishing him a Happy Birthday is certainly disrespectful. At least it is for those of us that were not raised by wolves.

Pardon me for asking, but how so?

Nope, I didn’t imply that at all. I implied that freepers like you will be the first ones to dump all over Carter when he dies.

You’re all so overly sensitive and feel victimized by the slightest trespass against you. Maybe you should consider some form of positive therapy. Hanging out on a liberal’s blog to bitch and moan about how liberals are ruining your life doesn’t appear to be helping.

You’re a liar

Show me where I called you a racist. You are the liar. I said that you are willing to tolerate racist terms from some people. That is a fact based on what you have written in various comments.

and a hypocrite

Evidently you don’t even know what this means. Let me give you an example:

Let’s say that someone (like yourself) repeatedly gets upset over statements from those on the Right that are attributed to racism. Let’s also say that same person does not see a problem with someone on the Left using the n-word (e.g. DAFN) when referencing a black man.

THAT is an example of hypocrisy.

See how easy it is to provide an example? Now go ahead and show everyone how I am a liar and a hypocrite.

Did I say anything negative about Gerald Ford? No I did not.

You are a complete idiot.

JWG calling me racist

I didn’t call you racist. This must be another example of your need for a remedial reading class.

Whereas you’re a bunch of pathetic, feral hypocrites who need to feel validated so badly that they’ll jump on anything said by anyone on “the opposite side” and twist it into proof that the entire opposing ideology is sick and twisted.

Between Frank doing this:

However, I will ask you a riddle: What Jewish holiday will it be, when Pres. Carter dies?
The answer: Any day Carter dies will be a Jewish holiday…

…and JWG calling me racist because I considered - simply considered - the context of single incident of a black man using the n-word, I almost wish the right wing had anyone non-psychotic to espouse their views.

What nonsense!

However, I will ask you a riddle: What Jewish holiday will it be, when Pres. Carter dies?
The answer: Any day Carter dies will be a Jewish holiday…

I just can’t wait for all the disrespect

Evidently it should be OK with you and Nimrod. Maybe you’re OK with the use of the n-word like Nimrod is as well.
