Is classically Republican. I've seen and heard this viewpoint countless times. Both with 9-11 and Katrina, it's the same thing. Anyone who experiences or feels any emotion, grief or pain beyond what said Republican is feeling, then said victim is automatically "milking it" and therefore a 100% inauthentic fraud/opportunist. It's disgusting, and it's why I have a hard time breathing the same air as Republicans much of the time. Because the irony is, how on earth can a Republican, who by definition is nearly incapable of feeling empathy in any way, shape, or form, supposed to be the arbiter of what's appropriate when it come to dealing with pain, grief and tragedy. It boggles the mind.
