Sickening: Obama staffer dies tragically in Chicago OFA office, right wingers dance on his grave (Updated)

By on July 14, 2012 in Obama for America

These people are sick and depraved

29-year old Alex Okrent collapsed in a Chicago OFA office yesterday and died. Yahoo has the story HERE.

What is taking place in the comments section of that story is enough to make you vomit. Some people are even insinuating that he was killed by the Obama campaign.

I’ll warn you that some of these comment are beyond the pale and extremely offensive.

“One less vote for Ohhbummer…oh…sorry…he probably voted absentee already”

“2 down… all the rest to go”

“maybe he knew too much about fast and furious. kind of reminds me of vince foster”

“Guess the poor guy was about to become a whistle blower.”

“I guess that OBAMA CARE aint so good for us huh…… Poor kid probably had to deal with a lot backing a loser… Maybe he is the guy writting out those stimulous checks and didnt get his…”

“Another runny nosed liberal bites the dust!”

“He knew too much. Clintons did the same thing and called it suicides.”

“Too bad, he just finished reading the details about Obummercare”

“wow he killed another one now thats outsourcing !!!!!”

“When you sell your soul to the liberal devil, you never know when he’ll call in your contract.”

“He killed himself out of remorse for helping put Obuttface in office.”

“Obama will do anything to get reelected, killing his on staff member for the sympathy vote.”

“He died from the shame of working for an outfit which BeClowns the presidency – more to follow I am sure.
OweBama – $4.2 Billion In New Debt Every Day!”

“Drank too much liberal kool-aide!”

“Boy, that 0bama is killing off supporters left & right. Mostly left.”

“to bad it wasn’t Ovomit”

“time to go to the synogogue of satan and pick another one”

“Too bad it was not OBBUUMMER”

“If you are white and work for the reelection of the Anti-Christ Obama do you lose your soul?
I think you probably do. This loser who died probably did. Time to start calling Obama Damion 666.”

“So is LIberalism a “deadly” disease now? Lol. ….How many dead staffers does it take to win an election? …..Obamacare missed the mark on this guy…….Obama: “Oh please don’t be the guy that runs the teleprompter!” lol”

“That happens alot with Dictators and Communist Leaders, people in their service end up dead.”

“Good, one more out of the way.”

“I guess he died when he caught a peek at Odumbo’s REAL birth certificate”

“Does this mean he can only vote 3 times instead of the usual 4 times? Exactly what are the progressive’s voting rules?”

“oblamer liar easy catch fire and die !”

“Wish it was Obama”

“Dont worry libbys he still gets to vote”

“Obviously the Obama campaign is a CULT…and this was the only way he could get out….”

“Another Socialist dies”

“The Adversary calling home one of his minions. I really wish he’d call back the Obama’s”

“one less commie pike, should have been potatohead.”

“I hope it catches on with the rest of the Democrat party”

“Good!”

“Damn, I read the headline and thought it said Obama collapsed and died. That would have been the greatest Fri. 13th ever. Oh well, wishful thinking.”

“Obama had a hit on him too…Like Andrew Breitbart…Sheriff Joe Opaio will have the next accident…Seems to be a growing trend with Obama dissidents….I wonder if he will rack up as many points as Bush 1 & 2 on body counts…? Remember Debra DC Madam.Palfre? Barry Jennings… hmmmm….just sayin’”

“I feel for his family. But the karma around Obama is a dark and dangerous place. Obama taints all in his presence eventually. This is perhaps an omen to Obama worshippers. Good and evil are at war in this world. The choice is yours.”

“bet he was a drug addict, like the boss”

“S**T!!! they missed!!!”

It’s times like this that I weep for our country…

    These are the kinds of people that make me wish we really did have “re-education camps” to send them to. Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to capture them, teach them how to read and tell the difference between thinking for yourself and just blindly believing anything someone tells you, and then release them back into the wild?

    We could teach them how to find accurate data and how to recognize logical fallacies. We could teach them what it means to have compassion for those who are less fortunate and to delight in others’ good fortune. They could begin to recognize that when you help someone, that person will do well and be able to contribute back to society. And they will know that this will strengthen our society and bind us together.

    Then when we point out that the words, “I am not my brother’s keeper” were uttered by the guy who just KILLED his brother, they will finally understand just how wrong they have been.

    People who find this disgusting should go to the article and vote down the offensive comments. If a comment gets enough down votes, it gets hidden. That sends a message.

    • cryingliberty

      It seems to have worked as the entire comments section on the story is now gone, like it never existed.

    • TexasProgressive

      Don’t vote them down – collect them and pass them on. I have many Conservative friends to whom I forward articles like these – I never comment, no need to – but it shows them what their party is becoming – or reveling, as the case may be.

    such fine and moral examples of the “pro life” crowd!

  • http://twitter.com/lolpsychic Lauriellen

    These aren’t “right-wingers” making these comments. These are “ASS HOLES.” And they live on both sides of the political aisle…unfortunately

    • paulhobbs

      Well, maybe. I haven’t seen anything remotely like that to this extent. At the very least, Democratic leadership doesn’t feel obligated to pander and enable these kind of assholes. I don’t think the Both Sides Do It™ equivalency is accurate.

    When a dear and kind friend of mine, a long time Democratic Party activist, died, some similarly despicable comments were left on his MLive obit. They were all anonymous, of course.
    When the wing-nuts get like this, I find some solace in knowing that we are not alone in our disgust. I firmly believe that when history looks back at the 2012 election, they will say that Obama’s re-election was due as much to voters’ repulsion to the incivility and ridiculous behavior from the right, as it would be to President Obama’s accomplishments.
    I’ll go a step further; I think that if it were not for the trolls, conspiracy theorists, racists, Tea Partiers and wingnut media, Mitt Romney would be running as a sane moderate and would have a good chance of winning. These trolls you describe are horrible human beings, but for the time being anyways, they seem to be in control of the GOP, and that fact is helping us win this November.

    • Le Revolutionnaire

      good point Kevin,

      if not for the trolls, American voters could have a more civilized and
      rational election experience instead of the freakshow that passes for
      one these days.

      i very much agree with you

  • gandalf

    while these are vile and disheartening, and while these are rather typical sentiments of your average freeper and limbaugh fan, trolls gonna troll. I tend to avoid comments sections because, well, this is not at all unusual. I just watched a YouTube video (Aaron’s Last wish) and was struck that there are already 94 dislikes.
    And there are even “left wing” trolls (they are just that- trolls- they have nothing better to do than stir the ugliest of emotions)- I remember good and well during the 2008 elections when comments sections on sites like crooks and liars and democratic underground had similar sentiments about BushCo- I remember telling them those sentiments weren’t fair and were rather sick, weren’t becoming of the left, etc. I don’t think this is a fair representation of your average republican. I DO unfortunately know some like this in the red state I live in where I’m a lone liberal, but most of the ones I know aren’t completely heartless.
    Now had someone like Limbaugh or Beck or Hannity et al said these things, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they had, then my outrage bone might tingle. It is sad that there are detestable people like this out there. I just can’t let comments sections bring me down when we have realities like voter suppression, war on women, etc. to deal with- these people are a symptom of our ills, but our battle is best waged donating to and campaigning for our president and fellow democrats. Use these guys as motivation.

    well, i have to ask – why would you reprint the ugly comments here?

    • jackstarr

      ….because the antidote for people who abuse The Freedom of Speech is a big spotlight and more Speech………

    What the hell is wrong with you people. This person was a human being.. Someone’s Father, Brother, son.. GROW UP. I never liked Bush and I would never say these things.

    AMAZING!! #BREIBART THE VIDEO TAPE EDITING DRUG ADDICT FELON DIED AND NO ONE WHOOPED!! GOES TO SHOW WHY THE ANIMALS ON THE RIGHT MUST BE VOTED OUT! EVERYONE OF ‘EM

  • littlemac

    I knew that “righters” were immoral and ignorant, but their comments prove that they are not only racist (big surprise), but have no respect for life. Dumb does not even describe their theories on conspiracies about Presidents Clinton and Obama having people killed. I’m embarrassed every time I hear see their mouths open, because hate and vile threats will spew out like vomit. President Obama should have no problem being re-elected when he’s running against a man who knows nothing but lies, lies and more money for the rich. I am sorry for the young man’s family and hope they do not have to see what these idiots have said about their son/husband. So very sorry. Remember, these people live to be cruel and let screaming out ignorant, laughable thoughts make them feel smart. Lord help us. Lord help them.

  • prayers

    every one of those who wrote a comment about that young mans death would claim to be a follower of jesus christ , and jesus would forgive them, the sad thing is ,they;ll do again and again, this statements will also be in the book of life ,GOD AND HIS SON JESUS, will have the final statement !

  • Ann Staples

    THERE ARE SOME REALLY SICK PEOPLE OUT THERE, SOME OF THE COMMENTS ARE SICKENING. AREN’T THERE ANY CHRISTIAN REPUBLICANS? GOD HELP YOU, YOU NEED IT!!!!!

    • webjunky19

      Sad to say… those WERE the Christian Republicans… the white supremacists are worse.

  • http://twitter.com/SLReaves Stacie Reaves

    I stopped reading Yahoo comments a long time ago. I can’t stand to read such hate.

  • http://www.illustratedbykarenjones.com/ Karen Jones

    Is is just me, or did the comments on the yahoo article you are referencing all disappear? Because, in my browser, there are no longer any comment section or the option to make comments (there were before). It could be my chrome being weird, or maybe Yahoo got so disgusted by it that they felt it was best to turn off comments for this article. If so, may I say, way to go yahoo!

  • cryingliberty

    The comment section is no longer visible on the story. My guess is a large number of people contacted Yahoo or there were a huge number of flagged comments on that story and they just opted to shut commenting off to stop the hemorrhaging, so to speak.

  • http://twitter.com/EdieVP EdieVP

    Why do you even bother giving notary to this kind of evil. Your exhalt them when you print their comments. Do you think you can shame these people think about it if they write such evil there is no shame. These aliens enjoy the attention you give them and they interpret you post as ame.
    It sadden me that this article is a diservice to the memory of Alex Okrent. You would have done a more honorable service by writing a Memorial Op Ed on his life, his dedication to his work and give light to the love of what he believed in. You still have the time to do so if you want to counterpoint the idiots of hate. Think about it.

      Here’s an idea: get your own blog and do with it what you want. That’s what I do.

    Christians sharing their holy beliefs to all. Jesus was a socialist, you A-wipes.
