Ridiculous.

A decent person would realize that right now would be the proper time to shut up about this and only say nice things about the deceased, not to get drawn into a āhe saidā game of trying to refute a dead manās feelings.
By engaging in this petty effort to focus only his reputation in the immediate aftermath of a tragedy, Hancock is displaying a degree of self-centeredness that is both tasteless and astonishing.

āBlame it on the liberalsā has supplanted patriotism as the last refuge of these lying scoundrels.

āMany of you on this committee are aware of the issue, as it came up in several of our conversations during the past few months,ā Hancock wrote, as quoted by the Post-Dispatch. āWhile those who know me understand I would never denigrate anyoneās faith, Tom had mistakenly believed that I had attacked his religion.ā
To my mind this proves that he did engage in a smear campaign, as no one ever said that he attacked the deceasedās religion. (Which was Episcopalian in any event- seems he canāt help himself in implying he was a Jew even now.)

"Division over race and creed is real in Missouri Republican politics . . . "
. . . as it is in national Republican politics. The more the Republicans put their supposed Jew-loving on display, the more I smell the underlying antisemitism.

John Hancock, 1776: big signature.
John Hancock, 2015: big douchebag.

I noticed that line too. Of course, in the minds of some conservative evangelicals being Episcopalian is far worse than being Jewish.

Well, comrade Johh, if liberals were trying to āsmearā you, the GOP should have risen up as one to support you against themā¦ but even your friends are tired of Jew-baiting.

This needs to become part of the national discussion. Israelis and members of the American Jewish community need to be aware that behavior such as Handcockās apparent smear campaign can and does happen in the conservative Republican donor group.

Exactly. Sounds like dude doth protest far too much, way too often and too damned early in this unfolding story to NOT have been doing what heās bitching about. Wonder if he actually pulled the trigger?

Even if you had been dabbling in an ugly anti-Semitic whisper campaign, you might have had half a chance if you took the āpolitics can get rough and tumble and things can get misinterpretedā ā¦ let things quiet down and move on ā¦ but no, you had to release you inner asshole - hardly 24 hours after the guy is dead - certainly hope this focuses the sunshine of truth through a mega magnifying glass directly on you - and totally incinerates your ass

You betcha!!
Itās here in the story, since calling this man a āJewā would have stopped evangelical Christians from voting for him.

Pro tip: if you donāt want people to think you contributed to someoneās decision to take their own life, stop acting like you did.

I am not totally convinced the other guy decided to take his own life over this guyās smear campaign. There has to be more to the story.
