Put the Niggers in the Superdome Part III | 107 comments (107 topical, editorial, 0 hidden)

Re: Put the Niggers in the Superdome Part III (4.00 / 3)

You're kidding me.

Some people just have NO sense of humor.

Or, as I replied to that asshole Lucian over at DKos yesterday after the asshole bashed my HSUS diary for caring about animals, not people (that shit again), "There's one in every crowd."

P.S. Lucian's username should be Lucifer. He's a black cloud in every diary I've ever seen him comment on. (Actually, clouds are too nice -- how about steaming pile of s__t?)

Susan, I loved that diary you did on the animals. I watched the video you linked to, on and off, all day. It was a necessary, and bright, respite in an otherwise difficult day made so much harder by comments like the ones from Lucian's.

Still haven't watched the video! Figured it'd be good if HSUS did it.

Some dumb bozo is on my TV.

I like it. :)

Re: Put the Niggers in the Superdome Part III (4.00 / 2)

That's cute ... I do get very pissy sometimes. And I was on a tear this morning. I could not sleep last night -- despite medication that regularly helps me sleep like a baby. So, I'm sleep-deprived and just so terribly, terribly upset about how avoidable so much of the death and destruction was.

And, on that diary yesterday at DKos, so many people were posting the most lovely notes and saying that they'd donated to HSUS.org. It was an example of how wonderful people can be. And, it's BY DEFAULT that everyone -- except dicks like that Lucian -- knows that animal lovers and caregivers also care deeply about people, for pete's sake. And I did include a link to the Red Cross too!

That's not the first time that that Lucian has pooped all over one of my diaries, or other people's. He's a troubled person. To put it kindly. And he should get on some good meds or get some therapy, if there are meds therapy to deal with his kind of nastiness and negativity.

Your HSUS diary was wonderful (none / 0)

I couldn't believe you got zapped for that, Susan, I didn't see it until much later. Made me so angry. . So few people know that the first convictions against child abusers were with laws against animal abuse. Or that the Humane Society regularly finds abused children where they find abused animals.

(True confessions: I've partnered with the HSUS on a preventing cruelty to animals and to kids program for younger children, aimed at teaching little kids not to grow up abusing smaller children or animals)

Frankly, animals help keep us sane, and happy. And people need that help especially when their lives are completely torn apart, like with this devastation.
