stay klassy, yo
Jul. 6th, 2012 10:57 pmThere was a story through Google News about this 70-year-old restaurant owner in Ohio who served Obama breakfast this morning when he stopped in for a campaign visit with the diners. A few hours later, she fell ill and died of natural causes, according to the article. The only two comments on the story were "One less vote for the zero" and "An omen?"
That's some classy shit. KLASSY, as![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
crevette would say. I'm sure her family appreciates her death being reduced to some political punchline. Hunh hunh har har duhhhr.
Speaking of KLASSTM, check out this essay on a woman being harassed online for soliciting donations for a feminist study. What gets me are the comments below defending the threats of violence and general nastiness as valid criticism under the ever-precious "free speech." There is no situation in which you can reasonably say that threatening a person is the same as simple criticism or disagreement of their POV.
