Daily Kos Attacking Charlton Heston on His Passing
Posted on April 6, 2008
Update: Welcome Bill O’Reilly readers. Please bookmark us for a daily read.
I guess we shouldn’t expect any sense of decorum from Kossacks, but it is pretty lame that they had to unleash their hatred only minutes after the announcement of the passing of famed American actor Charlton Heston. A Daily Kos “diarist” named doriangz started out calling Heston a “gun-nut” and ending with his life and causes being considered “political nutdouchebaggery,” and the incivility just flowed like the opening of a damn from Kos posters’ keyboards after that. Not much respect for a man who’s film career spanned many decades, who marched with Martin Luther King, and fought to uphold our Constitution.
One poster said that Heston tore into the “victims of Columbine,” one Marcus Tullius said he laughed when Jerry Falwell died and that Heston’s death made the world a better place. And Fairy Tale echoed that with a post that said, “Things are already getting better in America” now that Heston was dead. RandySF said that he was sorry but that he “can’t think of anything nice” to say about Heston. Aqualad08 seemed to think that if there were “no guns in heaven” that would make it “hell” for Heston.
And they were just getting warmed up.
Then, we always have to have the “he’s a crappy actor” types like poster jazzmaniac and the ones that have no respect, like ohcanada who said, “As we sow.. I didn’t respect him in life..and I won’t in death.” Then FischFry jumped in to say that he assumed that mention of the Heston film “A Touch of Evil” was really a description of Heston himself.
And, predictably, there is the foul mouthed type that we have all come to associate so specifically with uncivil leftists, too. PerfectStormer posted a loving “So long, motherf***er” when he heard the news of Heston’s death.
But remember, these are the same sort of people who claim that it is they that are the more “compassionate,” more “caring,”, and more “civilized” in our society. Well, if the compassion they displayed for Charlton Heston is any indication, we are in more trouble than we thought… either that or the left has no real compassion at all.
I favor the later, don’t you?
Still, there were several posters that were chagrined by the hate and uncivil postings by their fellow lefties. So, at least some of the Kos posters were sorry to hear of Heston’s passing and upset at the ignorance of the other posters.
But, all the vitriol is sadly to be expected from the more “loving” left, unfortunately. I can only imagine how the media will treat him over the next few days. Who can doubt that their compassion will quickly fade to be replaced by sniping and attacks of this iconic and quintessentially American personality?

Liberalism has always been about anger and hate. I am not surprised.
There will never be another Charlton Heston and the great movies he made will live on through the ages for future generations to enjoy. Actors today can’t hold a candle to him. He is now in Heaven where he can meet Moses face to face. I can only imagine the great conversation they are having. He will be missed.
This news fell on me like a ton of bricks. Moses dead? The ramifications for me the psychological trauma of it all…
I know he is/was just a man, but he for me was one of few men who I respected and looked upto as a young man. He had it right when he said “”America doesn’t trust you with our 21-year-old daughters, and we sure, Lord, don’t trust you with our guns.” while BC sat in the oval playing with his cigar.
I will mourn his death, celebrate his life, and treasure his memories always.
BTW: I consider myself liberally liberal as well as an American Patriot who understands there will always be intolerance and strife amongst the population of this great country with its incredible diversity of belief and culture.
Peace
Who cares what the Left has to say about this anyway? Daily Kos has what, about five people that read it? And they are just the ones that can’t get dates and have to do something to vent their vitriol.
I respected Charlton Heston for his Civil Rights participation, his acting and most importantly for his belief in the Second Amendment. I love it when I pass cars with Obama and Hillary and 01.20.09 “Bush’s last day” stickers on them and laugh when they see my NRA Life Member sticker and my “When they outlaw guns I will become an outlaw” sticker, not to mention my thin blue line sticker. The looks on their faces are hilarious.
Remember him for the great man that he was. No hero has ever gone without their critics, be they Ronald Reagan, George Washington or Charlton Heston.
God bless and grant peace to Charlton Heston.
These patethic Pieces Of Trash at DK show the world what Classless Jerks they are. Reveling in the death of MR Heston is no different than thoes who cheerd to the news of the loss of almost 3,000 lives on 9/11. It is too bad that anyone who disagrees with this filth these Idiots spew and tries to get on their site never have the chance to challenge their “Intellect”, not that really have any.
Mr. Hesston was a good man. I will miss not having him on this earth. He is missed.
The really sad part is this kind of behavior no longer shocks and amazes me anymore. It is simply business as usual from them.
I would be shocked and amazed if they were actually civil and caring.
I just have one thing to say about these hateful people: Whatever that they sew, so shall they reap.
Also: What goes around, comes around. I ignore these hateful, vile people, because I know that someday they will get exactly what they deserve.
If this is the “tolerance” and moral superiority of the so-called progressives, then I’m remaining a conservative.
I’d like to ask them exactly how has subscribing to this extremist ideology made them better people, because they’re worse than animals. At least animals attack out of necessity. These fanatics are doing it out of pleasure.
I think it is time to say that political correctness and tolerence of this type of behavior is way over due to say “no more!” All of our heros are gone in Hollywood, there are not more patriots to set the example. Mr. Heston was a person that was vocal about his patriotic beliefs and our society no longer allows patriotism. We have allowed the vocal minority to rule, no longer a democracy, we are becoming a socialistic government.
Psalm 2 could have been written about Hestons critics:
“4 He who sits in the heavens laughs,
The Lord scoffs at them.
5 Then He will speak to them in His aanger
And terrify them in His fury, saying,
6 “But as for Me, I have 1installed My King
Upon Zion, My holy mountain.†”

Now can I pry his gun from his cold dead hands? I have been waiting years to do it. HA
Hummmph and can these turds help themselves?
