The opposite of Love is not Hate, it is indifference

[BoneDaddy]

I really don't care about the death of Falwell. I am glad in the sense that it might be a blow to right wing fundamentalist rhetoric in America but I do not hate him. If I hate Falwell he has won. I have given him tremendous power over me and have allowed him to bring me to a base, lower human level of consciousness (in a sense I have become like him and others like him). I choose to not allow him that so I personally don't care about his death because someone just like him will pick up the mantle.

The orgy of death celebration of a bad man by people who call themselves liberals is what concerns me. It is reminiscent of older, darker times when the crowd gathered in the town square to witness the execution of a murderer. They felt justified because the person was "evil", yet they stood there transfixed, with their own bloodlust, eager to watch the execution. That is what it looks like in here.

Disturbing.

1. I totally agree with the subject line, but

I also believe I can be indifferent to him as a person and still hate his words and beliefs and the way his messages twisted and hurt things about which I am not indifferent.

The misery his words will project into the future is something progressives must work to undo.
