UGLY person

I got up early to check out the road report after our latest arctic blast.  My news channel "broke" the news to it's viewers that one of their long time newscasters had passed away from throat cancer a little before five a.m.  One of the anchors was literally holding back tears.  I've lived here since 1992.  This gentleman had been working at this station since 1966.  Having spent five days a week with someone for that long, I personally felt an odd sense of loss knowing that he'd passed away.  That's just me.  I can't fathom how his co-workers feel.  Out of curiosity, albeit possibly morbid, I decided to check the other network's sites, to see if they were "reporting" it, since he was technically a "rival".  To my pleasant suprise, each of the other networks were in fact reporting on it and posting their own kind tributes on their websites for their lost colleague.  Truly admirable, paying tribute to someone who had, like them, dedicated their life to broadcast news.  Then, I started reading some of the "reader comments", all of which were heartfelt and sincere, wishing him "Godspeed" and sending "condolences to his wife and children".   Then, and I just HATE it, that there is ALWAYS a THEN, this ASSHOLE (his name is Frank Garrett) had written the following:  "Another liberal Clinton Obama Loving Bush Basher Christian Hater joins Satan. Long live Rush and Fox News".  Seriously?  Wow.  Unfortunately, this "gentleman" is most likely a self proclaimed "God Fearing Christian", who doesn't have the first clue what the basics of his religion are.  I'm not a Christian, but I'm relatively sure that most "God Fearers" know the one about loving thy neighbor.  Ignorance and intolerance are what keep evil alive in the hearts of even the best people.  Turns my stomach.  It really does.  Again, I find myself questioning what the hell is WRONG with some people???  I truly hope that Frank Garrett's family never has to see something awful from a stranger posted about him when he passes away...  Tsk Tsk Tsk.  Shame on you Frank.
