That they dead bash publicly is so them, though...
No one every taught them that if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all...

No but their deaths dont make it ok to shit on them. They were horrible people and they died. Good enough. I don't have to rejoice in it. Also regardless of what they did and and what I thought about it each one of them had people who cared about them and I dare say loved them. That's may be repugnant to you but it's very likely a fact. I was quite happy when bin laden was killed. I even said Obama did good job to get it done. I never gloated that he was dead though. Beyond that whatever robertson did it doesnt rise to the level of what any of those people did. That's doesn't excuse Robertson's behavior it just keeps it in perspective.

Feb. 4, 2010 — -- Prosecutors at the human rights trial of former Liberian warlord Charles Taylor alleged Thursday that Christian televangelist Pat Robertson had lobbied the White House on Taylor's behalf in return for a gold mining contract.

The controversial pastor and former Republican presidential contender met with then-President George W. Bush on Taylor's behalf, prosecutors charged during cross-examination of Taylor in a Dutch courtroom, allegedly in return for a contract to mine gold in southeast Liberia -- a contract they say that Taylor had no legal right to grant.
 
The gold deal went through in June 1999, with Robertson allegedly pumping $15 million dollars into the project.

Hollis asserted that much of the money went straight into Taylor's pockets, which Taylor denied.

Robertson's company, of which he was president and sole director, was called Freedom Gold, Ltd. The agreement gave the Liberian government 10 percent equity interest in the company and Liberians could purchase at least 15 percent of the shares after the exploration period.

During his term of office, Taylor was accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity as a result of his involvement in the Sierra Leone Civil War (1991–2002). Domestically, opposition to his government grew, culminating in the outbreak of the Second Liberian Civil War (1999–2003). By 2003, Taylor had lost control of much of the countryside and was formally indicted by the Special Court for Sierra Leone. That year, he resigned, as a result of growing international pressure; he went into exile in Nigeria. In 2006, the newly elected President of Liberia, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, formally requested his extradition. He was detained by UN authorities in Sierra Leone and then at the Penitentiary Institution Haaglanden in The Hague, awaiting trial by the Special Court.[5] He was found guilty in April 2012 of all eleven charges levied by the Special Court, including terror, murder and rape.[6]

In May 2012, Taylor was sentenced to 50 years in prison. Reading the sentencing statement, Presiding Judge Richard Lussick said: "The accused has been found responsible for aiding and abetting as well as planning some of the most heinous and brutal crimes in recorded human history."[7]

Lol, you love Hitler, why am I not surprised. There was absolutely nothing to love about Hitler, he was a monster.
 
Where did this idea come from to not speak ill of the dead?
Isn't that what ignorant people who are superstitious believe, that the ghost will haunt you?!

No not at all it's what supposedly kind and decent people refrain from doing. Clearly you and your colleague who claims leftists have kindness and decency are full of shit. But we knew that already didn't we?
