Deceitful Troll Hounded Cathy Seipp on Her Deathbed
As conservative columnist, blogger, and media critic Cathy Seipp lay on her deathbed, hours away from losing her long fight with cancer at age 49, a strange letter appeared on the website www.cathyseipp.com, supposedly written by Seipp herself. As described by Fox News:
In what came off as more bizarre rant than heartfelt apology, her supposed "very last blog entry" called her years of journalism a "shoddy," "despicable" and "irresponsible" career as a "fourth-rate hack." Her political stance? All a mistake.
The fiery, unwavering supporter of George W. Bush supposedly said she'd done a complete 180 in the past year and was now an implied supporter of Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y. What was even more perplexing was that "Seipp" was taking mean-spirited potshots at her own daughter, Maia Lazar, whom she called an "obnoxious" and "arrogant" wanna-be "skank" who was "mentally ill." Throughout the letter, the one person whom "Seipp" seemed most sorry for ever having offended was Maia's 10th-grade journalism teacher, who had frequently clashed with mother and daughter. Finally, "Seipp" said she was probably to blame for her own illness — the "venom" she'd spewed for years was responsible for her terminal cancer.
The actual author was a cyberstalking troll by the name of Eliot Stein, a former online talk-show host and stand-up comic who briefly taught Seipp's daughter in a journalism class. The obsessive bitterness often characteristic of moonbats motivated him to register the domain name www.cathyseipp.com (Seipp's real site is www.cathyseipp.net). Stein's phony site has at last been taken down.
Fortunately Seipp had no knowledge of what Stein had just posted in her name when she passed away.
On a tip from Wiggins.

It is so typical that a leftwing troll would use this opportunity to continue the hatefest.
Eliot Stein and "DrWho" are just immature haters who will do anything for their narrow minded agenda that they package as "progressive".
My sympathies to the Seipp family.

What, exactly, does digg have to do with any of this?
Curiously, did anyone see any hateful remarks from the Right concerning Elizabeth Edwards? They Left has sure outdone itself regarding Cheney and Tony Snow.

The modern left is defined by its insane hatred. People who are hateful by nature are going to be drawn to a community where their hatred is accepted and encouraged. That just doesn't happen on the modern right. So, all the people who are predisposed to hate end up on the left.

Eliot Stein: Yet another perfect example of the kind of brainless scum inhabiting the Left. But please don't moderate your tone; you're doing great in helping the Democrats get shellacked in '08, across the board.

this is just an example of my arguemrnt for bringing back DUELING.
Of course, we would also have to bring back the sence of self-respect, common courtisy and family honor that went with it.....

Morality is viewed as an outgrowth of Christianity by those on the left. Since Christianity has become vilified in public schools and the press, morality has followed. Now, to many on the left, to say you're a moral person means you follow some sort of religious code like the ten commandments or the teachings of Jesus.
The result of this is a society deliberately avoiding anything associated with morality, since they associate that with "neocons".
That's why we seem to have such tolerance for hatred on the left. We see it as tolerance for hatred, but to them it's simply expressing themselves, and anyone who judges their expression is the one who's being wrong and hateful.
