> [@Qin\_Shi\_Huangdi](#): > > Amusing how people celebrate the death of someone who was just a political opponent with very little criticism while I get a ton of shit for celebrating the deaths of truly evil people (ie Bin Laden, that traitor in Yemen, Kim Jong-il)… Probably because when you write a post celebrating the death of someone, you sound like a bloodthirsty creep who’s one bad day away from taking out a post office with an AK-47. For Jesus. ---

I was cheered to find that Breitbart had kicked the bucket. I would have been happier if he found a way to take out Rush Limbaugh as well – but you can’t have everything. As for you, Qin Shi, when you stop spewing the same empty-headed, cold-hearted, selfish, swinish conservative talking points at us like they are ambrosia on gold plates … Maybe you’ll get a modicum of respect, and fewer spankings for being a waste of space. You claim to be a follower of Christ but I don’t see any grace, humility OR compassion in what I’ve read from you so far. ---

> [@elucidator](#): > > You know, for the sake of balance, its about time somebody said something nice about him. He’s gonna be buried 8 feet deep rather than the usual 6 feet. Because deep down, he’s really good. By the way, how can you tell when Breitbart is dead? He lies still. I’ve gotta confess, the only death in recent years that has caused me more satisfaction was Bin Ladin. ---

> [@Jenaroph](#): > > Link to any number of posts where you got slammed for celebrating the death of Bin Laden or Kim Jong Il; first, we’ll weigh them and see if there’s actually a ton, and then we’ll cross-reference in this thread to see if it’s any of the same people who are pissing on Breitbart. Any “slamming,” as I vaguely recollect, likely consisted mainly of sarcastic praise for his brave stand in denigrating the legacy of such a beloved figure as bin Laden. \*\*Qin \*\*is also known to vehemently oppose the creation of infant vivisection snuff films, and doesn’t care who disagrees. _Someone_ has to stand up and say “this is wrong!” ---

I normally think it is bad form to express satisfaction that someone is dead. But in view of how Brietbart thought it appropriate to be happy at Ted Kennedy’s painful death, I make an exception. I made an exception for Bin Ladin too. ---

I’m pretty sure Obama killed him with Kenyan Voodoo. Obama learned how to do Voodoo while attending Koran readings with his pastor, Reverend Wright. In Kenya.
