They’re at it again at the Huffington Post, with another deluge of ugly, mean-spirited comments about Dick Cheney: Comments for Cheney Taken To Hospital Over Blood Clot Fear.

(I notice that Arianna now has the comments separate from the posted article, and a disclaimer has suddenly appeared.)

“Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy…”

If anyone deserves a blood clot, paired with excess pain and discomfort it would have to be this snarly jackal-of-a-man who has already got the blood of our sons and daughters on his hands.

There is retribution !!!

OH DEAR JESUS HEAR MY PRAYERS
FOR BIG FAT CHENEY I DONT CARE
HE’S GOT A BLOOD CLOT THAT I HEAR
CAN YOU ADD A FEW AND THEN WE’RE CLEAR

OH DEAR LORD IF YOUR NOT A WHIMP
CAN YOU ALSO STRIKE THAT F*CKING CHIMP
I THINK IT’S TIME FOR HIM TO PAY
I PROMISE LORD THAT WE WILL PRAY.

AMEN

These are just from the first few comments—not “cherry picked” at all. And there are a lot more in this vein.

Notice that some of these people are even semi-aware of how crappy this makes them look as human beings—but they can’t help themselves.

Any and every comment posted on this story that does not reflect the deepest concern for the well-being of Vice President Cheney and does not wish he would live forever while all his sworn enemies die in the pits of hell should be treated as a direct act of treason.

Any and every comment posted on this story that does not bend over backwards to heap ridiculous amounts of praise on anything and everything that Dick Cheney has praised in the past or in the future should not only be labeled harshly, the comment itself should be printed out and read every hour on the hour on Fox News to ensure that the traitors are effectively negated.

Those who would wish ill will on Dick Cheney must not only be singled out but condemned on Fox News and all other Patriotic media outlets. Let them know! Drag their name through the mud. Let everyone know how much they hate America and Freedom!

Love Dick Cheney or hate America. That is your choice in the comments to this story.
