[About the Boston Marathon bombing.]
I have to say that, even though people come from around the world to compete in the Boston marathon, my sense of the participants is that, as a whole, they're a bunch of narcissitic lefties so I just can't muster much grief over the incident. If I'm wrong, I'm open to being corrected.

I don't know whether or not you're right about the marathon competitors, but you are right about about yourself. As you shamelessly suggest, you are an inhumane twit, or you are suffering from a mental disorder because of childhood abuse. Either way, stay in the basement and don't come out of the house.
Really, you're calling people who are running for charities narcissistic?
Considering you only seem concerned about people who share your political goals I'll have to ask you to put down that shiny mirror.
"If I'm wrong, I'm open to being corrected."
Well, that's a good start.
If the simple fact that people can come together from around the globe and stand each other's company long enough to run a marathon makes them 'lefties' whose deaths bring you satisfaction then something is wrong with your entire world view.
If this is how right wingers think then I really don't know what terrorists think they can accomplish. The suffering of others only serves to amuse them.
Fucking deserve eachother, just leave the innocent out of it and go settle it man to man with rusty knives in a desert somewhere.
Yes, I've noticed a definite lack of empathy from the average fundy, but generally it's reserved for women and minorities.
Branching out to include the world as a whole, are we?
Does it matter where they come from and whether they're lefties or righties? They're human beings , some of whom are now dead, others have had their arms and/or legs amputated? What's so narcissistic about watching a marathon, btw? Most of the dead and harmed were not runners, to my knowledge.
I don't need to muster grief, it's just appears automatically when I hear that human beings have been murdered or harmed. That's something called empathy, it's clear you've never experienced it, or perhaps not even heard about it.
In conclusion, you're wrong, very wrong.
I thought it was 3 spectators who died (including an 8 year old boy who was wathing his parents).
This person's lack of compassion puts them at the trailing edge of civility, and deserves a slapped face at least
"I'm open to being corrected."
Since you seem to be condoning terrorism Venus de Smilo, I will start you off with something like THIS .
I have to say that, my sense of the posters on Where Liberty Dwells is that, as a whole, they're a bunch of sociopathic righties so I just can't muster much grief over when they whine and cry that people different than them are allowed to exist.
Which might explain why conservative Christians tend to be a bunch of lazy fatties.
Hey, if you can make generalizations, I can too. But the statistics are on my side.
What a coincidence, I don't think I could muster much grief if someone impaled you in the ass with an acid-soaked, rusty pear of agony covered in broken glass. Only difference is I'm not saying that because of where you are on the political spectrum, I'm saying that because you're an insufferable, narcissistic asshole who wouldn't know empathy if it walked up and kicked you in the face. If you can't see "lefties" or whoever else as fellow human beings then YOU'RE the one that doesn't deserve to be treated like a human being.

"If I'm wrong, I'm open to being corrected."
Well, that's a good start
Well, it WOULD be if he meant that more generally, but my feeling is that he meant "If I'm wrong about them being liberals then I'll feel sorry, otherwise I'll continue to enjoy their murder". If I'm right then that doesn't redeem this ghoul in the least.
Wow, just...wow.
You're an asshole. I'm not sure if you being "open to being corrected" is even indicative of some positive traits, as you only seem to empathize with those who share your political views. Please try to say this anywhere besides the internet. Do it for me, and video tape the reaction.
I'm not sure what disturbs me more, the indifference to the suffering and death of others or the nom-de-plume "Venus de Smilo". I can't shake the image of an armless lump of stone with a permanent Joker-like rictus, propped in front of the TV and cackling over the deaths of people he (she?) doesn't know.
"If I'm wrong, I'm open to being corrected"
1996 Atlanta Olympics: Olympic Park bombing. 2013 Boston Marathon bombing.
2012 London Olympics: nothing bad happens. 2013 London Marathon: nothing bad happens.
The use of Spartan Laconic Wit: 'If. ' has never been so appropriate as in this instance.
(*Puts on dom outfit. Opens bag of 'appliances' *)
Drop trou, bend over, and 'open' yourself. Prepare for correction . >:D
"If I'm wrong, I'm open to being corrected."
I don't know if we can really call this guy a fundie if he really means it. Then again, I suspect that his mind is already made up.
Remember, it's only a tragedy if the victims share your political views, otherwise they're just scum who got what's coming to them.
Fuckwit.
@Lady Evilimage
Yeah, but as we can clearly see, the kid is a tree hugging commie pinko who doesn't get erotic thoughts while holding a gun, ergo, he clearly deserved to die too.
Fuck, I feel dirty even writing that sarcastically.
Actually let me highlight some of the well-deserved responses to this:
"I have to say, that's pretty heartless. Isn't it pretty narcissistic of you to judge what's in people's hearts? We don't even know if the eight year old boy was a 'narcissistic lefty.'" -Firekrakka
"I could not give a damn whether the victims were leftists, Christians or from Pluto." -Penguin
"It is not about who the terrorists killed and maimed, the fact they did it at all is an outrage. Terrorists don't care about our political leanings when it comes to killing us. They just want to kill us." -MissKitty
So, yeah maybe it's because the bar is set so terribly low for WLD as a forum but kudos to several posters for having an ounce of humanity. No one should give a flying fuck if the people killed/maimed were Democrat, Republican, Tea Party, Green Party or whatever. They're still victims.
@ Mihangel apYrs : You wrote:
"I thought it was 3 spectators who died (including an 8 year old boy who was wathing his parents)." Yeah, but he was probably a lefty 8-year-old, so he clearly got what he deserved. {rolls eyes}
EDIT: Dammit, GigaGuess beat me to it.
Unfortunately I can't be too surprised at this when I constantly hear and read comments from conservative idiots who suggest it'd be a good idea to round up all liberals and atheists and execute them.
Sad when this kind of thought is commonplace among conservatives. And then people wonder why this country is so polarized.
We have a marathon in our city, which sends a Republican to Congress, and there are flags at half-mast all over it.
Thanks to people like Venus de Smilo, perhaps those who were going to raise money for causes favored by conservatives will think better of it next time. Rabbit of Caerbannog gives me heart that even on WDL most people aren't that stupid and heartless.
my sense of the participants is that, as a whole, they're a bunch of narcissitic lefties
1) The people who were injured were mostly bystanders, not participants.
2) One of the ones who was killed was eight years old - was he a "narcissistic leftie"?
3) Some of the participants in the wheelchair portion of the event lost their limbs in the service of their country.
If I'm wrong, I'm open to being corrected.
OK, you've been corrected. Here's another correction for free: you're an ignorant asshole.
I have to say that, even though people come from all around the world to live in Texas, my sense of the inhabitants is that, as a whole, they're a bunch of gun fetishist Nazis so I just can't muster much grief over the incident. If I'm wrong, I'm open to being corrected.
You cannot bring yourself to feel compassion for people who were injured and killed in a horrific terror attack solely because you think that they were liberals.
You are exhibiting sociopathic traits, and I find your lack of empathy very frightening.
@Dionysus
Yes, having read his post again I think you are right with that statement.
@Danarth
"They were watching people run a marathon? What the fuck does their political beliefs have to do with...anything?"
There were Americans at the 2012 London Olympics cheering on Team USA, regardless of the event; as long as there were participants present, they were cheering them on. Andy Schaftafly's Conservapoodia proves there were [i]Conservative[/i] athletes (also emphasising how Christian they were; even some being 'hoemskuled') there. The Boston Marathon. People cheering on American participants. So that wasn't in the US?
Therefore patriotism =/= right-wing. As those who participate in the sporting arena for the audience present are narcissistic ; No Exceptions. (there are players in the NFL - especially Christian ones - who do charitable deeds, nay, have set up charitable foundations in their name). And are lefties . Gotcha, Neocuntservatives, Teabaggers et al. You said it, I didn't.
Penis de Smilo here is so wrong, even Stevie Wonder can see that he is.
Compassionate right wing conservatives in action. Such a tragic event would only be worthy of grief if mostly tea partiers had died.
Like how someone actually calls them out on being heartless and they say to not to be so judgemental. Also like how other people point out it's fine or good if lefty politicians and democrats are killed, just terrorism is the bad thing. Or anti-American "Muslim Terrorism" is a bad thing, they'd be fine with homegrown American terrorism, surely.
"... just can't muster much grief over the incident...."
this was just the attitude of the mob in the stands in the Colosseum as people were being killed for their entertainment. You are an unfeeling wretch.
@Xotan

To be accurate, the spectators in the colloseum were delighting in the death and suffering of the combatants in the arena. The only grief they would muster would be if their favourite was killed, thereby losing them their bets.
Pity help society if it ever slips back into that state of mind. Radicals and terrorists seem to be well on the way.
"If I'm wrong, I'm open to being corrected."
- Pardon me if I react to that admission with just the tiniest bit of skepticism.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
