Mocking a serious accident is pretty low and not appreciating the "humor" of politicizing a fatal accident does not fit that definition if one were to stop and think it over.
Thanks for clearing that up. Read a similar low class comment about this earlier. Pretty low.

Why are so many on the right such snowflakes?

Ummm, praytell what is even close to being "funny" about a train hitting a truck regardless of who is on board? Yea, that's about as funny as a gunman shooting up a congressional baseball tournament or a truck bomb blowing up a federal building with a day care in it.


I don't see anything even remotely amusing about a train crash even excluding the death involved. And I sure as Hell ain't no "snowfake." Would it be as mirthful to you if someone you love was on that train? I guess though if not seeing the laugh line in this makes me a snowflake I'll plead guilty as charged.


Wow, politics in this country are getting to be a bit much to take.

I feel bad for anyone still paying for a cable/satellite subscription that includes CNN.

Not a truck. A dump truck. BTW LOTS of folks are commenting about the humor on this, so its not just me.

And the fact that it was a dump truck is WHY its funny.

From another forum:
GOP lawmakers provide live demonstration of their plan for America.

If it was just a truck, it would be boring. Its not that a accident occurred, thats not funny. But what they hit makes it funny.

Man this whole snowflake thing is projection.

The OP should read his own links. It clearly says the "self-proclaimed talking head" does NOT work for CNN, does not get paid by CNN. That aside, what he said was pretty sleazy ball-ish but I don't recall hearing people on the right calling out the church body out west who was praying for Obama to die.

Since it was you calling a conservative a snowflake,
I will agree.

If it was just you this discussion wouldn't be happening. It is because a prominent liberal voice sees humor in train crashes if Republicans are on board. Did he not care that there were also children on that train? Being he didn't have all the facts when he first tweeted he had no way of knowing whether anyone died or if children were dead or injured. No, to him it was a real knee slapper that Republicans were on a train that crashed. The guy is pathetic in his lack of empathy for others.

People talk all the time before they have facts. In this case it was state on the news that no fatalities, and only one minor injury. Should we wait then before commenting? For how long? Is a day ok? What if someone dies later?

Who would think the right would suddenly become the PC police.
