By Diane Gee, The Wild Wild Left An unexpurgated broadside by one of the few fearless editors still standing “I could broaden my audience if I made an f-bomb proof page and spoke gently. Or maybe, if I did that like 100,000 other liberaloids speaking gently on DKos… I would have nothing. I speak unfiltered, saying the things many think, but won’t say, because they care about their image….” |
Why yes, she is. Dead and truly dead. It’s already been determined that I am part of the great unwashed masses, completely ill suited for anything remotely resembling polite company. Yet even I, from the squalor of my white-trashiness potty mouth worry about where the line is when speaking ill of the dead. Not just ill, mind you – but celebrating a death with open glee.I just got a message today, in fact about my lack of gentility.
Which I found doubly priceless the day after Gottsy posted about Inappropriate Discourse. Is it going too far to say… (even though I noted that the large image was way more graphic than the thumbnail portrayed to my failing eyes…) ![]() Perhaps, because even genocidal War Criminals who impoverished their own people while killing others somehow garner respectability when their fetid hearts cease to rhythmically spasm.

Let’s examine what is apparently NOT offensive.
A Chilean commission investigating human rights abuses under the former military leader Gen Augusto Pinochet says there are many more victims than previously documented. Commission director Maria Luisa Sepulveda said they had identified another 9,800 people who had been held as political prisoners and tortured. The new figures bring the total of recognised victims to 40,018. Democracy Maggie? You protected him against trial for 2 years? How about your Colony, the Falklands you insisted on keeping and the 700 or so young Falkland Islanders and Argentinians you killed for wanting their own Democracy? In ’82, the population of that Island was about 2,800. In her own country, she killed Unions, privatized public holdings, and pulled the largest housing scam ever. Public housing became extinct, and she sold what was left of it to the renters, leaving them underwater in aging, falling apart homes. More often than not private companies bought the properties as they were repossessed leaving a population that rarely could own land. BELOW, BRITISH SOCCER FANS EXPRESS THEIR LOVE FOR THATCHER She had Victorian morals, and implemented the 1st control of the UK’s art, film and television industry according to her ideas of what was or was not “tasteful.” Because, you know, naughty art is bad, genocide is quite tasteful. I have to concur with one of my friends, that I hope they bury her next to Pinochet, and the Zombie Cheney should his heartless corpse ever stop stalking the planet. It would make it far more convenient to piss on their graves. Those numbers are numbers to some. The death tolls. To me? They are each a human being, with loves, hopes, family and worth. She and her BFF Pinochet smote them to get richer, and keep the rich in power. This doesn’t even address the torture of human beings done in both wars. Fuck it. Hate me for speaking truth if you must. But I am glad the Witch is Dead. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Diane Gee edits The Wild Wild Left, as well as Facebook’s Links for the Wildly Left. Her writings appear on many leading progressive venues. CODA [Some have said she was a “role model for girls.”] I want to projectile vomit. Are we ourselves so sexist that we would honor a monster because said monster presumably had a vagina? I think not. Oh and a big “Fuck you” to NPR who just reported reverently, “that Thatcher “confronted the venal trade unions”.” Now that is unacceptable speech on both levels. Heh. —DG

Updated addition – the warm send off crowds at a Liverpool futball game gave her when hearing the news of her demise:
“We’re gonna throw a party (x3) when Maggie Thatcher’s dead!”
Thank God for Greanville Post’s existence, and our ability to read reality as opposed to the saccharin sadness of the world’s elitist, self-appointed rulers’ epithets for a woman who never was, nor wanted to be the figment of imagination she is now enshrined as. Kissinger, that old barnacle on the world’s ship of state, added his megalomaniac musings about a fellow cohort who he meet and metered out the world’s collective future at the numerous Bilderberger, Davos hidden retreats where plans of the future world’s plutocracy were covertly concocted, such as Merry Margret’s joyfully designed destruction of her country’s middle… Read more »
Ms Pichney has said it all and very well so not much for me to add, but just wanted to say I’m glad she zeroed in on the mendacity cum ignorance that attaches to so many vainglorious actors. Dont these nincompoops EVER realise how their talents are being used to sell the public toxic propaganda??? “Reality is truly the photographic negative of the twisted history we are made to believe. As an interesting side note, Meryl Strep made both the Ayn Rand and Margret Thatcher films; there’s an example of philosophical propaganda by Hollywood that is consistent and what the… Read more »
