Johnny Hart, 'B.C.' Creator, Dies at 76

Cruel, but funny. :-)

Not funny and very cruel, more hate from the left.

Yep, I hated B.C. I thought it was one of those propaganda products that was making our country worse every day. We're better off without it.

It wasn't nearly as bad as the messages of hate we constantly get from Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage, and those other pompous right wing blowhards, who spew venom and divide this country just to make a few bucks.

@ Jimmy, so we are better of if the people you disagree with are dead, to me that theory is the absolute worst ideal for our country, do you disagree?

@ Frank, feel free to degrade Ann and Michael but I challenge you to find one instance of Rush reveling in the death of a person he disagreed with, give it a shot.

Rude, unsympathetic, and disgusting. It's the attitudes behind comments like this that worry me more than the political views.

Try this link for starters:

At her funeral in Santa Rosa her Father noted right-wing talk-show host Rush Limbaugh had called her a "Tree-sit suicide bomber" and said "If she was saving the trees why didn't they save her". This outraged him and he called for us to take action.

There were links in another article about this incident to the audio version from Rush's own website, but, not surprisingly, he removed it. Guess he didn't want anyone else to hear what an a$$hole he really is.

Nice try Frank but from your link I did not see any evidence that Rush was happy with this persons death, do you disagree?

I think he thought he was making a clever joke, and was probably mildly amused at the very least. There's no way I can prove this, but I have my suspicions. It's too bad he didn't have the courage to leave his remarks on his site. Then we might be able to detect the humorous tone in his voice, and maybe that's why he removed his remarks about this.

Jimmy, so we are better of if the people you disagree with are dead

We are better off without B.C. It made this country worse by pushing right-wing and fundamentalist propaganda under the radar of the average person. If something that makes the world worse disappears, then by definition the world is better.

Johnny Hart was responsible for B.C., and he had every right to speak his piece on whatever subject he wanted to, and newspapers had every right to print it. That doesn't mean it was good for us, just that not allowing it to be printed would have been worse.

Jimmy, please tell AJS that you are not happy that Johnny Hart died, so we can end this foolishness.

Let me say, I am not displeased. Had he simply retired, I would have been equally pleased. It is not his death I am happy about, it is the end of his excrable propaganda.

I sympathize with his family, as I am sure they loved him and will feel the loss.
