115. Brandon Teena and Matthew Shepherd
were too young to die.

You're making it seem like Reggie was simply someone with a different political view, merely a red state vs. blue state thing. It isn't like we disagree with Reggie's tax plan or job creation ideas. Demonizing someone over politics would be wrong and ridiculous.

But the feelings people are expressing over the death of Reggie White aren't based on politics.

Reggie White's hate speech directly contributed to the suffering and needless deaths of innocent people.

Those who contribute to the climate of hate and fear as Mr. White did are directly responsible for the DEATHS of innocent people.

It's probably nice for you to be in a position where you can afford to not "appreciate" gay bashing. That's a luxury LBGT people don't have, you see. They're busy fighting for their lives and the right to simply exist.

I guiltlessly rejoice at the death of another ignorant, loud-mouthed fool, and completely reject your appeasement.

You should always speak nice of the dead. He's dead. How nice!
