I found this piece shocking.

It seems as though Dr. Dyson is merely struck with what 2008 Green Party Presidential Nominee Cynthia McKinney, my candidate, referred to as the Obama-election "buyer's remorse." In other words, voters who, having waited unsuccessfully and hopelessly for the fruition of democratic policies from the Obama administration, now feel they've been had, tricked, bamboozled, hoodwinked. In their words, Obama "played" them with his mean oratorical game. White liberals were first to express such disbelief at what they perceived to be "deceit" on Obama's part, but more and more Black people are beginning to feel just as violated.

When the news broke that Senator Kennedy had a malignant brain tumor, Jewish talk show host and America's favorite bigot, racist and dirtbag Michael Savage responded to the news in standard hate fueled savagery. He constantly played a clip of Arnold Schwarzenegger from "Kindergarten Kids" saying "It's not a tumor!", played songs by the Dead Kennedy's so he could keep saying "Dead Kennedy's", and other forms of popular Republican fun.

This past week has seen a perverse conspiracy of events that strains the capacity for people of good will to avoid giving up on civilization all together.

It began with the sad news that Sen. Ted Kennedy was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. As the shock and trauma of that news was settling in, James Rosen of Fox News declared on air that this could not be considered a tragedy because he had lived (past tense) a full life. Soon after, radio Neanderthal Michael Savage decided it would be appropriate to play snippets of the 1980’s punk band The Dead Kennedys, which Savage said was “in respect” for the Senator.

And this from a blogspot...
"Freepers bubbling with suppressed glee. (0.00 / 0)
Their posts are filled with snide comments about 'immediate retirement' from the Senate, combined with sanctimonious asides about God 'sending Ted a message'. Thank goodness their prayers are ineffectual; otherwise we'd probably all be dead. Assholes.

A shock to my system from the freeper managment... (0.00 / 0)
I just wandered over there, and I was shocked to see that apparently their moderators have actually been at least somewhat actively purging threads that have gotten too hate-filled. Either that, or the crazies that post there are putting up a really good illusion of being in fear of having topics deleted...

But even that shows their true colors, I think...

On my own level, here's hoping for the best for Senator Kennedy."

That is all I'm going to post. I'm wasting time doing this.
