So it’s ok to lambaste a dead conservative but if you mention that a liberal hero killed a woman which he did, that gets you warned and your thread locked?

Are you fucking kidding me **Twickster**?

I guess morality is only political affiliation deep huh?

What’s good for Jerry Falwell is not good for Ted Kennedy.

Fuck, I named this thread wrong. I should have named it RIP Mary Jo Kopechne.

Mswas, you’ve already been warned today for trying to foment argument on the board. We’re now considering making it two.

This thread should more properly have been named “RIP mswas and his posting privileges.” Do you really want us to go there?
