The attitude taken by so many of these leftists is disgusting. But fortunately there are some who know that there is a time to argue and a time to commemorate. One of them is Juan Williams -I note that here because though in the minority on his side of the aisle, hopefully he can stand to show others of his outlook how civilized people should approach these kinds of situations.

Rest in peace Tony!!!

#7 If you knew anything about the man, would not need to “hope” about his “peace”. #8 You can throw out a scenario that suggests, but you can’t name once that it’s happened.

Open note to commenter “Lebold”:

You are acting as if I wrote the AP obit. I did not. Douglass Daniel with help from Jennifer Loven did. I am one of many criticizing what Daniel and Loven wrote.

I’m therefore not posting your comment. You are welcome to reformulate and resubmit.

Open Letter to Douglass…

Hi Douglass,

Do you feel good about this article? I bet you do! May some one also “piss on your grave” as you did with Tony Snow. A very typical AP politicized article that did not meet the same restrictions/standards as with Tim R.

Douglass you are full of Bull S@!^.

Who owns this AP company? The Democratic Party? No way they would never be so sleezy… at least not the dems I know. Geez the news objectivity at the AP totally sucks.

#7, your comment has been allowed through so readers here can see a small example of the bilge over at Dkos, etc. How contemptible. History will show how foolish your comment is, short-term and long-term.

#8, like all the right-wing hate that came spewing forth when Tim Russert died? Oh, I forgot; that didn’t happen. Again, how conemptible.

why should the AP be excoriated for presenting the facts? I’m sure that if Bill O’Reilly lambasted some hated liberal who had died, he would have been praised by the neocons for his fair and unbiased opinions.

Tony Snow might have been a great guy, but he still stood and spread the Cheney regime’s lies to the world. Apparently he was as cynical as he was loveable. It’s a shame he died so young. Let’s hope he made his peace with his maker.

#4 is a good idea. #5 will get turned around into accusations of bullying and intimidation, fair or not. But I’m starting to think that absent an apology (which really shouldn’t be difficult, given what they’ve done; they’re so obviously wrong), a unilateral one-week ban of AP might not be a bad idea, or a longer ban on the two specific reporters.

cc the email to president@whitehouse.gov

Demand that the AP be banned from Whitehouse press briefings until they publicly apologize.

I wonder how AP would react if they got lots of email shaming them for their disrespectful behavior? info@ap.org

I think a shame on you campaign is in order…

As you indicated in your post above, he seemed like a great guy.

Too bad.

Disappointed, but not even close to being surprised.
