Besides, the hateful shit he did and enabled will long outlive him. Even if we could deprive him of ‘resting in peace’, why should we?

I feel somewhat the same about Michael Jackson. Yeah, he made some good music a long time ago… but the repeated pedo accusations and then the settlements he paid to stop lawsuits turned me away from him. Oh, and i shan’t forget the “platonic” sharing of his bed with preteen boys. Disgusting.
Motherfuckers who do bad shit do not need to be respected or their legacy left alone just because they are dead. Fuck that noise.
Breitbart is worm food now, and good riddance.

First, let me say that I have no idea who Breitbart was. None. His name means nothing to me, and I have no feelings towards him, positive or negative. However, I fail to understand statements like this:
“Let him rest in peace, jeez.”
Why do people say things like this? From atheists to Christians, none of us believe that that Breitbart is going to be disturbed by the rumblings of mere mortals. Atheists believe that Breitbart is gone and thus can’t be bothered by anything, and Christians believe that Breitbart is either in Heaven or Hell, and as such he is occupied with either eternal joy or eternal pain, either of which would push, “And so and so said bad things about me!” down to a non-priority. So why keep talking like any of this has anything to do with the deceased Breitbart’s well being?
Breitbart doesn’t care anymore. We can’t help him rest in peace or prevent him from doing so. He is now beyond our sphere of influence.

Rest??? What does that mean? The prick is dead! Deceased. Inanimate. No more. Nothing. He’s not resting, sleeping, flying, carousing with angels or burning in hell (unfortunately). He’s just rotting. Quite simply, decaying and returning his atoms to the various earthly cycles from which he was formed.

Never understood why you have to speak respectful of a dead arsehole. If he was one in life, his death only changes one thing: he cannot respond anymore, but his fucking disciples will. His arseholy legacy continues, so it is only fair to point out that this dead fucker was responsible for
it.
Is anybody concerned about speaking respectfully of Stalin, Franco or Hitler? I guess not. So why make any exceptions?
There wasn’t any concern when among atheists the persona and legacy of C. Hitchens was analyzed, warts and all, showing that he could be an arsehole as well.
Breitbart apparently was just an outright arsehole with no redeeming features. So – lets clearly say so.

Well, Chebag, given that you did not feel moved to enlighten anyone as to how the irritated blogging of atheists on the internet may prevent someone from resting in peace, I did some searching, and I admit to finding nothing.
If being a non-”Libbie” grants the belief that irritated atheist bloggers do have such an ability, I would be fascinated to hear about it. Just how do you think “Libbies” might wound the feelings of dead conservatives?

No Chebag, honey, it’s Glenn Beck (who, btw, is still not a liberal) that always brings up Hitler. Perhaps you mean, “Just like a Lib. Gotta always bring up Glenn Beck.”
Also… Hitler was fascist. That’s actually the opposite of socialist. But I get that these complex topics are difficult for you to understand.

My position on Breitbart is fairly simple. The guy was either a professional asshole polemicist in public, or played one very convincingly. For all I know he was a paragon of virtue when not being a jerk online or on television, but since I never saw any of that, I can only judge him on what I saw and heard of him while he was alive. Based on I that I concluded that he was an asshole of the first degree. His dying does not affect that either way. Given that he thought it was OK to slander Ted Kennedy after Kennedy passed away, I think that it is perfectly permissible to be rude about him, whether he is alive or dead. I feel for his family, but I have no positive feelings towards him.

You are nothing but a not very smart arsehole, shitbag.
The party was called the : National Sozialistische Partei Deutschlands” for your fucking info, and actually included till the Roehm Putsch some members who combined some socialist ideas with fascist ideas.
Basically the “socialist” was a smokescreen to get German workers to vote for the NSDAP, nothing else. Socialism at the time was an idea supporting workers rights, arguing for stronger unions, universal healthcare and unemployment insurance among other demands. All things the worker in the 1920s to30s saw as a necessity to enable them to be productive and able to support their families.
The same way some countries call themselves “democratic” republics and are far from it, the German fascists appropriated the term.
But a tea-partying fuckwad like you simply spouts off the limbag’s nonsense because his intellectual capacity is limited to retaining just a few slogans spoon fed by neocon propaganda.

kraut,
while your point is valid, you got it wrong regarding the abbreviation, not accounting for the A.
NSDAP:
N – National (national)
S – sozialistische (socialist)
D – Deutsche (German)
A – Arbeiter (workers’)
P – Partei (party)
Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei
In 1919, a locksmith founded the German Workers’ Party, trying to attract workers with a nationalist/fascist ideology. Hitler was originally sent to spy on that party, and joined and took it over, and the party was renamed to NSDAP in the process.

Indeed you were, my man. Though, unfortunately, (or fortunately, depending on one’s opinion of your writing) it appears that it was merely as an end to disproving the old adage that brevity is the soul of wit.
Have you taken note anywhere of the genuflecting in the direction of the said Snitchens by that ‘free-thinking’ wanker Richard Dawkins? It’s about time someone in the free-thinking crowd started to do a bit of free-thinking in HIS direction.

“Just like a Lib. Gotta always bring up Hitler. Who was a socialist, btw, just like “Comradde” and his sycophantic followers.”
If I were to sum up socialism in a sentence, it would be this:
Popular control of the means of production, with democratically controlled economic decision making
There are more drawn out definitions than that, but in general that is what socialism is about. How the shit was hitler a socialist? He could call himself whatever he wanted, his policies were fascist, not socialist. His point of view was that means of production, along with every other important thing in society, should only be controlled by a certain class of people because the rest were inferior. It is the opposite of socialism.
Don’t take my word for it, read George Orwell’s Why I Write. It is a passionate account of why socialism is important, with examples relevant to the time.

here is a name to consider: Otto Strasser, the most prominent left wing leader and so-called “social revolutionary” of the NSDAP:
Even today there are some Neo-Nazis bemoaning the fact that the name National Socialism has been, shall we say, compromised. Anti-corporatist and anti-globalisation ideas also feed into the Nazi paranoia about the international conspiracy of Jewish finance.
As a Social Democrat myself, I draw the distinction here that socialism and social democracy don’t operate along racial lines and are also strongly internationalist. Because one part of your definition,
would hold true for social democracy, but not for certain types of socialist systems, I’d say.

Here’s a link to the Object and Declaration of Principles (and explanation)of the Socialist Party of Great Britain (SPGB), the only party worthy of the name since it’s establishment in 1904. It contains a pretty succinct definition of Socialism.

The whole site is worth investigating, for various reasons.

@Lyra:
The only reason I don’t like denigrating the recently deceased is out of sensitvity to the surviving family members, not because of any belief in the disposition of a “soul”.
Breitbart was a lying, deceitful little man who was nothing short of toxic to our political discourse. He hurt many people in his time and he ruinned numerous careers with his doctored videos.
But, I’m sure someone in his family loved him, so I’ll stop short of saying how I really feel about him.

Not to belabor the point, but Hitler didn’t share the socialist leanings of some early Nazis, and in fact built the party on contributions from industrialists. His allies were conservatives who thought they could control him. After Hitler gained power, unions were outlawed.

jakc,
we know that, in fact my post indicated that Strasser was expelled from the NSDAP in 1930. But the issue that came up here involved the name of a party that can be traced back to the DAP of 1919/20. Even though Hitler dropped the S and D parts of the Nazi platform, the name stayed.

So the Nazis were “soshulist” because they had “soshulist” in the name.
Right.
And the Moral Majority was both of those things and the Holy Roman Empire all three.
