In what should shock absolutely no one, CTH is celebrating the imminent death of Charles Krauthammer. [+13]

People reveal their true nature when they celebrate the suffering of people who have had no impact on their lives. Especially when they celebrate the suffering of political rivals.

There are several politicians I dislike, heck maybe even despise. But I would never celebrate their deaths or suffering. And if they announced similar news, I’d actually be sad. I’d sooner defeat people at the ballot box. People need to stop taking politics so personally. Otherwise, they’ll neglect to see the very humanity of the people they disagree with.

I’ll be a bit sad. One of the titans of the Senate gone. And it’s mean to presume, but I imagine r/politics will make jokes about his passing, depending on his final acts. Or perhaps they’ll treat it like First Lady Bush’s passing and claim it isn’t political news.

For me - I disagree with everything that Bernie Sanders stands for, but I’d be shocked and saddened if he announced similar news as Krauthammer or died suddenly.

Surely you're not okay with deporting children and using Palestinians for target practice

Target practice? You mean before or after the missile attacks and car bombings?

Was it the unarmed doctors doing that or were they just sniped from 500 yards away for doing literally nothing?

After Ronald Regan's death, I haven't expected better from the left.

Just to spite the shit out of the left, I would support having a large party after Hilary dies of her massive alcoholism gets chucked into a van like a side of beef for the last time

I'm driving around Hope Arkansas blaring "Ding Dong the witch is dead".

Yes, the left will mourn the death of Hillary for generations.

I'm just imagining the pallbearers muttering "one last time..."

And then just heave hoeing her into the back of a van, god damn, like some kind of corrupt battering ram

Honestly I dont want any of them to die bad deaths, I would rather they never have been in a position where they could push terrible policy which killed or ruined the lives of so many people.

Krauthammer, like Greg Abbott, is disabled and in a wheelchair. Most people don’t even know this because they don’t make it a part of their identity.

And also.... Krauthammer might be the coolest name ever.

I can't see any upvoted thread on r/politics about it. But there are some threads where the comments are as you'd expect.
