Tony Snow Dead at 53, Left Does Not Mourn

If Barack Obama were really as embarrassed as he says he is concerning Americans ability to speak only one language, then he really needs to be embarrassed with the level of animosity and hatred on the left towards those who have served in George Bush’s government. When Tony Snow died early this morning of colon cancer, I knew those on the right would mourn him as I did. For those on the right, we care about human life regardless of whether the person is on the left or right. When Ted Kennedy was diagnosed with cancer, there was hardly a word from the right other than hoping for a full recovery with little regard for his positions which are contrary to everything we believe.

For the left, it is a very different matter. Consider what many are saying about the death of Tony Snow:

Another piece of shit who’s made a lot of money flakking for executive level criminals. We should be rejoicing every time one dies. What is up with all this “sad” crap?

He’s just another scumbag who made money ($168,000 to be precise, or tax payer money) by standing in front of the American public and lie to us. HE made millions doing it on FOX prior to it. In fact, if he was alive and on TV today, he’d be helping slander Obama.

He helped perpetrate horrible action by this presidency, there is no forgiveness for that.

Some of you seem genuinely more sad about this scumbag’s death then the NEARLY DAILY DEATHS of our own soldiers and the innocent Iraqis!!!!!

WHY???? JUST because he was on TV he deserves “respect”? WHAT THE F##K FOR?

Then this:

If there’s a Hell, I hope he is currently burning in it.

Every once in a while, someone on the left would be a little more objective and say something nice about Snow’s untimely passing.

I’m sorry but it just sickens me to read diary after diary of silly, bleeding-heart little condolensces to Snow and his family.

I swear some of you weak-kneed progessive brethren of mine have no clue about the vicious nature of the ideological battle we are in. When a bad guy dies, we should rejoice, not sing his praises of wish him anything by scorn.

There is a fundamental reason why the progress/liberal movement is so often impotent in delivering effective blows to the right-wing machine– it has to do with “toughness”.

I knew the left held tremendous animosity for their brethren on the right, but I never knew they could be so vitriolic, so malicious, so spiteful, so hateful. After all, these are human beings we are talking about—not failed crops.

I wonder how can a group of people, I am specifically referring to those in the Democrat Party who are supposedly known for their desire to help others less fortunate than themselves, be filled with so much hostility:

These people are the worst kind of human beings. I’ll say it now, and I’ll say it when they’re gone. They’ve started wars that killed tens of thousands of people to include thousands of totally innocent women and children. I’ll say it again, these are the worst types of human beings.

The slimy people listed above, and yes Tony Snow would have been on this list had I wrote it yesterday, deserve none of our sympathy in life or death. No one has to rejoice that anyone has died, but neither should we sugarcoat and “spin” their despicable lives.

How can these people feel so much hatred for another human being? It not like we are saying Adolph Hitler just died. Take this for example:

I will never mourn for anyone who

  1. Worked for Fox News, or
  1. Helped the Republicans spin their blatant lies.

If that makes me a bad person, so be it. People like Tony Snow have caused incalculable damage to our beloved country. I will save my tears for the more deserving, like the vast majority of Americans who got screwed with his help.

Just when I feel like there is no hope for the left, there is a bright light shining in the darkness of hate and despair.

My wife has colon cancer.

She was diagnosed before Tony was, so his passing yesterday was especially difficult for us, as another milestone on the way to her early demise has passed.

July is an anniversary month, it’s when she was diagnosed.

I cannot join in the Tony Snow bashing - he was human, he became frail, and he died from cancer.

He deserves our compassion - we all disagree with his politics, but he was a member of our collective humanity and as the tears roll down my cheeks right now, they’re not for him.

It’s another victory for cancer. I f##king hate cancer. I’ll give Tony Snow his moment of mourning.

There’s a wave of grief coming at me someday, and I just can’t bring myself to have anything but sorrow at the passing of another cancer victim.

I hope none of you go through it, so believe me when I say, you can think what you want of Tony Snow, but he was human and he didn’t deserve to get cancer and die young.

He was loved by someone - think of those people and understand that we should leave them to their grief without saying unkind things about him.

The last quote is somewhat of a paradox. I am confident the writer would not feel this way were it not for his wife having cancer. Life changes people, sometimes for the good and sometimes for the worse.

The hostility of the left to the passing a Tony Snow should be embarrassing to most Americans, including Barack Obama. I am waiting for the Senator to respond appropriately to the hate-mongers on the left. If he can be so embarrassed by Americans who can only speak one language, the very least he can do is to be embarrassed enough by the despicable rantings on the left to Tony Snow’s death and to comment on it. I probably wait in vain.

Tony Snow Dead at 53

Today America lost one of the truly good Press Secretaries and definitely the best President Bush ever had which is not saying much considering the inept performance of Bush’s two previous Secretaries in Ari Fleischer and Scott McClellan.  Tony finally lost his long battle with cancerHe defended the President, his policies and made the press briefing fun.  He will be missed as a great American.

Tony Snow, the former White House press secretary and conservative pundit who bedeviled the press corps and charmed millions as a FOX News television and radio host, died after a long bout with cancer. He was 53.

Thanks Tony, for your service to your country and for defending what was right.  You will be missed.  The thoughts and prayers of the Wilson family are with the Snow family.
