John Walton, son of Sam Walton and one of the heirs to the Wal-Mart fortune, has died in a plane accident. Do you think that we will see gloating and happiness from the far left on Indymedia, Democratic Underground, or one of the other wing-bat sites?

I would say that their irrational hatred of all things Wal-Mart makes that kind of response almost inevitable.

Update: Speaking of DU, I was over there reading and being entertained when I thought I would ask for clarification on this thread where every Republican male is being compared to the BTK killer. Unfortunately, my commenting privileges have been revoked--surprising only because I have never said anything that was inflammatory or even particularly impolite on the site. In fact, I’ve only left, perhaps, three comments since I registered.

Unfortunately, that means I won’t be able to ask for further clarification of this:

This sickness infest ALL Republicans; the party of the Privileged White Male Psuedochristians

Update 2: Y’all know I was missing Bejus, didn’t you? I can’t believe I didn’t realize...

Update 3: And we have a winner:

Maybe he will be re-incarnated as a slave laborer…

Or this little treasure:

one down…

....four to go…

They really are predictable--but I don’t consider that to be a good thing.

There is, however, a bright light in that thread. “Charlie Brown” offers a dose of decency that the other comments are lacking. Good for Charlie.
