I don't know, people didn't celebrate like this even when Bin Laden was killed in America. Yes, some did, but there were no songs about him on the radio, people weren't throing impromptu parties, and other than a handful of shirtless drunks who showed up outside of the White House people didn't really "party" or "celebrate" his death to this extent, and he was a fucking terrorist.

I was over on Reddit earlier today and they are all just talking about what a "cunt" Thatcher was and all seem to be supportive of the celebrations of her death... oddly enough the same community that was "outraged" that people "celebrated" Bin Laden's death...

Like the other person said, Cheney might get a reaction of glee for some upon his death, and to a lesser extent maybe Bush Jr... but I highly doubt we'd have "songs rising up the charts" in relation to him dying or any celebrations of this level.

The sad thing is, I know enough people that would cheer if President Obama died.

Disagree with some one politically? great! but in my opinion, cheering anyone's death shows shallow character. You could argue that Hitler, Stalin, Bin Laden and their ilk could be cheered... but even then, I think I would just be quietly glad that they were no longer causing oppression and death on a massive scale... no cheering required. At least certainly not from some dude on a computer in another country. Tough to say since I haven't had to live under that oppressive of a thumb.
