She has to muster what few shreds of her life are not based on lies and evil and fight this on her own.

of other less fortunate women...women who have no health insurance to care for themselves or their children to get the care they need...i have no sympathy for her..may she live the life she has lied about and see how it feels for those less fortunate..i do not wish her ill will as far as her health is concerned..but nor do i have sympathy for what she faces ahead..i hope she has to declare bankruptsy and see's how the other side lives!!

212. AND, gays, from the time she was freaking in college.
remember how she and a group of her evil friends infiltrated the gay and lesbian campus group and then outed all of the members to the student body? I think this was at Dartmouth (or UVA, I can't remember). What a fucking bitch.

211. Good Prayer, MollyStark...
... I can't rejoice when my enemy falls, I pray for them. I will rejoice if MollyStark's prayer is heard. Miracles do happen.
Unfortunate I feel Laura is an enemy to the public, but I've seen her beliefs cause devastation and division within entire generations of families. She is hostile and hateful. I pray her eyes are opened and her heart softens while she recovers.

149. Of course we wish the best for her in this fight.
I have been a Democrat for a long time, and part of the Democratic principles that attracted me as a young person and kept me a Democrat all these years is our compassion. Democrats are simply good and decent people. And good and decent people want everyone to do well -- those who agree with them and those who do not. We fight for the right of voices with which we disagree to speak out, for the right of people to say things we don't believe to be true, even for the right to be malicious and mean-spirited. If we fight for the right for LI to say what she says, how in the world can we use our disagreement with those words as an excuse not to be compassionate in her fight with cancer. Being willing to have her voice muted by illness is the same thing as not wanting her voice to be heard. It is not Democratic or democratic.

I hope others will join me in wishing her Godspeed in this fight, for the easiest road that she can have, and even for the development of compassion about others who have faced hardship and disease without the support network she -- and I -- have. As I go through treatment for this same disease, I think often about the women who fight breast cancer without health insurance, without a supportive husband, with a physically demanding job that doesn't know or doesn't care that she is exhausted and weak and aching, with children but no child care. I find it absolutely impossible that LI won't also have those thoughts run through her head or that she won't rethink her position on health care or the social safety net. Pray for her health AND her enlightenment, if you must. But pray, with me, for her good health.

165. OK I consider myself both humbled and corrected - and my apologies
Edited on Tue Apr-26-05 10:38 PM by nothingshocksmeanymo
It's what I HATE about us and... me as an individual.

For years, I wished the best for people only to hear the hatred doled back at me..I've resisted hating..but it's slowly taken over.

You've used your life experiences to come to a different conclusion. And your recent life experiences are a hell of a lot more harsh than anything I've dealt with thus far and so are hers given the threat.

And anymore I view that level of compassion as a weakness or something I've been DUPED by to even acknowledge it.

I am sorry..not only because it looks bad to be responded to by Elizabeth Edwards right when I know I've been an ass..but because everytime I say "so the F____ what" about LI...someone else says it about you. Sorry for creating that.

Thanks for the response. I don't have much choice other than to transform in the moment of this communication or shivel up. :)

I appreciate you presenting me with that opportunity.

183. Cheers for you
What a really thoughtful post. It is true that we can succumb to the hatred doled out by the other side, and boy is it tempting some time, or we can hold firm. And you are exactly right that sometimes we confuse that holding firm with being weak and that spitting hatred back with being strong . . . when exactly the opposite is true. You have my admiration.

215. yes you are so right..but it is difficult when
we know so many others who are without..and face death because they can get no care..or children who have no care for terrible illnesses..

but it is incombant on all of us that do have.. to help those that don't..
andy stephenson is a perfect example..and the good lord has provided for me..and my hubby works for a wonderful man who owns the baltimore orioles who has helped andy get into johns hopkins for his pancreatic cancer .there was no hesitation when i called him and asked for help for andy...no hesitation whatsoever!

this is what those of us who have must do..we must help those who need the help..with no hesitiation!

I do hope laura is a survivor, but i also hope she looks hard in the mirror and realizes others are not so lucky as she , that others can not get the care..and i hope she learns to reach out to others with a hand of hope and that she learns respect for others not as lucky as she!
I hope she realizes how many children in Iraq will get horrible cancers from the depleted uranium and napalm she cheered on.. and that our children in uniform face horrible diseases from the chemicals they have been exposed to in this lie of a war she helped promote..and felt little sympathy as their benefits were slashed..

I do pray for her to live a long healthy life , and that she uses that life she has to promote care and human kindess for once in her life!
Sometimes we need a second chance to make amends for mistakes we make...
Her propaganda was responsible in part or parcel for the deaths of many of our troops..no she was not alone in that propaganda..but she now has an opportunity to make amends for those who lost their lives with the help of her lies. They never got a second chance.
i pray she uses that second chance wisely.

237. Thanks flyarm
You wrote "i . . . seated your folks when John came and spoke for a rally in St Pete". Thanks so much for that. It was the only rally my Dad got to see in person, because as you could tell, he is not too mobile. But he sure had his electric scooter decked out for Kerry-Edwards!

And thanks for the smrt thing you said about hoping LI uses her second chance wisely. Hope she sees it that way, too.

If you could email me or pmail me or something. I promise, it is something that is important.

219. Elizabeth, you are clearly a terrific person and of a type who is the Soul
of the Democratic Party.

But what we Democrats need now, as we face the greatest threat to the Constitution of the United States since the Civil War (perhaps EVER, when viewed from the angle of Caesar Bush crossing the Rubicon), are some Hard and Tough and MEAN Warriors.

And that, by necessity, requires hardening of the heart. It might not be right but if the choice is hard heart to insure restoration of Free America, then I will choose Hard Heart every time.

And no disrespect to your kindness and decency, but when have these Bushevik Monsters EVER shown us anything of the sort?

Maybe it was when they used the Wellstone Funeral as grotesque political tool in 2002. Maybe it was when Rush called Chelsea Clinton the White House Dog. Maybe it was when the Busheviks sent their Paid Operatives to stop the 2000 Miami vote count and beat up a Demoratic Vote Counter.

(and, Dear God, where were OUR people, OUR fighters then? Little did we realize that 2000 may well have been the LAST chance we will ever have for an even semi-trustworthy vote-count at the National Level)

You may be able to retain your good will towards these monsters. I cannot.

I will not.

But thank you for being who you are and saying what you say. Because if the Warriors are ever able to restore the Old American Republic, we will need the Soul of the Democratic Party to remind us what we were saving in the first place. For Hardening of the Heart, once done, is not so easy to undo.

244. I will be harsh about what she says and does, not about her illness
Listen, I have no problem going after LI for the things she says, the ugly, hateful, untrue things she has said day in and day out. We should do that. We should confront, object, and expose in the loudest voices we have. But we lose our credibility as advocates for decency and truth if we say hateful things about her vulnerability to a disease. And we sacrifice what we are and become what they are. That's my point.

Your posts on this thread are inspiring to many of us who have been choking on anger for years now. I'm not a praying person, but I do wish for LI the wisdom to see what she has done, and I hope for her recovery from this illness.

Thank you for your words. They are humbling.

253. If only our voices had a conduit to be heard.
Firstly, welcome to DU, Elizabeth!

I admire you tremendously, and was blown away with your intelligence, humor and humanity that you displayed during a town hall meeting in PA that I had the privilege of viewing on C-Span (which you are already bringing here to DU, thank you). Unfortunately, it was covered on C-Span and not on mainstream media which is truly the only venue that reaches the masses when it comes to challenging the mistruths and propoganda spewed by Laura Ingrams and others. I think that's where the frustration lies in the posts that actually wish Ingram harm. Years of frustration of not being heard, years of frustration knowing that our country has been sold to the highest bidders with mainstream media walking in lockstep with them.

Personally, I wish the best for Ingram as I do for everyone, with the hope that one day they will see the light.

BTW... a perfect example of mainstreams complicity (CNN in this case) is displayed to the tee in this segment on the Daily Show.

285. And it is a good point that I will not try to argue, Mrs. Edwards
Let me again echo what others have said: that you are the kind of person who makes me proud to be a Democrat.

But for myself, I have no compassion left for LI nor any of them. I can no more pray for them than I could have prayed for the health of Leonid Brenzhnev, Ferdinand Marcos, or Augusto Pinochet.

Your point is a good one, but I do wonder what meaning the word "credibility" has in the Bush-Occupied America, where one side can lie with impunity while we cannot even tell the factually demonstrable truth anymore and not escape being labelled "liars" and "flip-floppers".

I do hope and pray that your way is the way, and that I am mistaken in all things about the course of the future of our Beautiful Nation.

But I cannot in good conscience pray for the health of someone who has abetted UnAmerican Totalitarianism with all of her heart.

David Brock, in his book "Blinded by the Right", alleges that a drunken Ingraham crawled up to him in a nightclub one night to confess that she didn't believe a thing she said on TV or in the papers.

If true, that only compunds her moral bankruptcy, her disgraceful conduct.

In either case, I don't wish her ill, but I can NOT wish her well, either.

221. Having lost too many members of my family to cancer
and having watched others battle the disease to remission, how could I not join you in praying for her health and her recovery.
I would not wish that my worst enemy should have to battle this or any disease.

Love to you and yours!

You are in my prayers and not just because of the disease. Your family is very special and have many battles a head of you. Continue to be strong and always remember, with faith and love, all things are possible.

I proudly join you in the prayers for LI's health and enlightenment.

:hug:

259. PLEASE, everyone!!
PLEASE look into COCONUT OIL.

I know it sounds NUTS. But cancer is not found in cultures where coconut oil is used in place of the unsaturated corn and soy and canola oils that we use. It turns out that these are implicated not only in cancer, but heart disease et al. Of course, you have to cook at home from scratch to avoid these oils. Or order baked and boiled, and bring your own coconut oil with you. Goes well on baked potato.

Causes weight loss, too. And healing on many levels, including the scars from breast surgery. Just put "coconut health" into Google, or look up the healing properties of medium chain fatty acids in the NIH files.

God lead you all.

261. Where do I find coconut oil?
Do I drink it, cook everything with it or what. I so appreciate the advice, but I could use some directions.

I do love coconut cakes and chocolate covered coconut! When I was a child, on the rare occassion they had coconuts in the grocery store, I would beg my parents to buy me one. It was fun to drain it, watch daddy break it open and eat the crunchy delight.

Please share more, I am all ears and eyes.

Thanks for your post, it brought back some warm and fuzzy memories.
A belated welcome to DU! :hi:

243. To paraphrase he that shall not be named...
..."Ditto." Sometimes in the fight for the people over the corporations, we forget that as Democrats our strength is that "we" are not "them."

I too will pray for her recovery, because the God I profess to serve instructs me to love my enemies.

Hate and vitriol are not conducive to good health. Love and forgiveness are. Perhaps she'll realize that. Perhaps she won't. Either way, my prayers are with her.

248. Thanks so much for providing a positive example
to the people on this board who could use some examination of their own hearts when they call others heartless. Thanks for showing some of the more impulsive among us that class still exists, it's still important, and what it looks like.

BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, thanks for providing such a positive example to the million of women who have faced, are facing or will face this fight in our lives.

This disease has touched our family, and we will continue to pray for all who are confronted with this challenge.

I may be wrong, but I think Jayfish was satirizing the
right. Whenever something bad happens to someone on the left, or a gay person, they say "well God must be punishing them."

Remember right after 9/11, some televangelist (Falwell?) said that it was a punishment for all the gays and lesbians, etc?

Anyway, if that was what Jayfish was doing, might need a /sarcasm off tag.

that this was sarcasm and I understand your initial shock and consternation over the post. Now that the point has been made clear, why do you persist in this fight?

That's why I said it, to throw the religious rhetoric right back in their faces and expose it's hypocrisy. I'm not a religious person but lots of Dems. are. The way the Right uses religion to divide America is total bullshit and I'm gonna call them on it when I get a chance. This was is one of those chances and thats the way I do it.

both diagnosed within 7 months of each other. Good people.

227. So, You Came Around
It was the nastiness of your tone that triggered my "castigation" or your "castigation". An apparent post that sardonically amplified both the "what goes around. . ." and hypocrisy of fundies evinced an emotional response in you that clouded your perception.

Finally, you see the point of the post was not to belittle breast cancer victims.

Why you thought you would find that sort of callousness at DU is a bit of a mystery.

254. You've made your point. And managed to pat me on the head, too.
Walk a mile in my shoes.
I've got breast cancer.
I am guilty of being defensive and protective of others and myself with this condition.
Even after pointing out that some women have been told that getting breast cancer is somehow their fault, some people(mostly males) brush it off. "Being emotional". Bah.

And for the record, I've seen all sorts of callousness at DU;
why should this be any different.

273. When I was diagnosed with breast cancer,
one of the 1st things a co-worker said to me was, "What did you do to deserve that?".
Since he was quoting the bible all the time, I knew what he meant.

My answer was then, as it is now. Nothing.

Good luck in your fight, babylonsister.

How many people with cancer do I know? And God's punishing them? Please.

I hope she gets better. I hate to see anyone suffer, and it's frightening.

Saying God's punishing her is just insulting on so many levels. Horrible. I may vehemently disagree with her opinions, but I don't wish cancer or death on her. (Or anyone.)

Throwing out the typical phrase that rightwing people use (e.g. when a gay person gets AIDs, for example) -- "God's punishing him/her."

It was not meant seriously, okay?

15. She's another Ann Coulter
David Brock wrote much about Ingrahm in "Blinded by the Right." She is part of everything evil in the GOP since the revolution in the late 80s.

Fuck Laura Ingrahm. Fuck her.

216. Yeah...I don't know who started this thread
but, you know, it is like Coulter getting sick.

You want me to pray for her? Yech. How about you want me to pray for Hitler? No, not going to do it. No, not Stalin either.

How about you want me to pray for Osama Bin Ladin? Not probably going to happen.

Rush Limbaugh? Hannity? Medvid (Medvidiot)? O'Really? Rupert? The Bush family? Naw....

My best is going for Andy.

And so should yours.

Welcome to DU anyway.

24. Laura Ingraham is one of the Right Wing Blather Brigade
She's got a radio show and writes books.

One of her more infamous ones was "Shut Up and Sing," a tome that advanced the concept that liberal entertainers should keep their political views to themselves.

I can't understand why someone hasn't written "Shut Up and Sing Badly," a tome that advances the concept that conservative entertainers should keep THEIR political views to themselves.

Or better, title it "Shut Up and...no, just shut up."

If you shut up, you can't sing, and if you sing, you aren't in the act of shutting up.

11. I wish her a speedy and full recovery.
I hope that while she is involved in her course of care, that she gets to know some of the "little people" who are around her: care givers, doctors and patients walking the same path. I hope she listens to their stories. I hope she really listens. I hope she learns something about the effect of diseases, like this, on the financial lives of families and individuals all across America.

Then, I hope that leads to her waking up. Just a little would be a great thing, in and of itself.

Edited on Tue Apr-26-05 12:46 PM by shance
I will save my compassion for those who truly try and bring good into the world and I will support social darwinism and justice for those that promote those same principles on others less fortunate, like Laura Ingraham has promoted on her show, promoting misinformation, demonization and exclusion of those who do not support the misguided and dishonest policies of this administration.

These individuals promote hate and/or bring harm to others by their dishonesty and harmful actions and words. Yet they want mercy when something happens to them. My compassion and/or mercy will be saved for those who deserve it.

20. My Great Aunt had breast cancer and had to have her breast cut off.
I still remember sitting on her bed and watching her dress. I remember that empty space on one side and a full breast on the other. I have always feared this would happen to me.

I remember volunteering at a children's hospital when I was a teen. There was a young boy who was maybe three. Hos parents explained that he came there for chemo treatments and they were so glad he was young because he did not understand what was happening and he was so resilient. He had the most beautiful long black curly hair. I saw them on a regular basis and was quite sad when his beautiful hair went away. I was happy that treatments worked.

I recall how, as a teenager, my best friend's father was diagnosed with cancer. He was given chemo and it had quite an effect. At one point he was leaning over a toilet, to get sick, and he broke a rib! I recall how my friend's mom was weak and not able to handle all of this. My friend had to do everything from clean up after her father getting sick, to dressing him, to cleaning him after he had to use the toilet! Quite a job for someone who is 17.

No matter what who gets this ugly disease, I would not wish it on anyone. If it helps people have more compassion, think of Laura's Mom holding back her hair as she leans over the toilet to get sick. Think of her friends and the toll it will take on them. A person does not stand alone, they are connected to the rest of the world. We are all connected in some way. You may not like her or her ideals. There are people who are close to her who will be put through an emotional hell because of this. I wish it on no one. I hope for the best.

of the world is that they will be able to afford their treatment...take time off of work until they recover without losing their home or any other worldly possession...but thanks to the policies they have promoted and their hatred for the sick, infirm, disabled and weakest members of society, a diagnosis of illness in America still comes with some HEFTY financial worries.

164. And the worst part about it is...
.. when these people with little to no insurance are trying to recover, think positively, and gain strength, they are brought down by the thoughts of how they are going to pay bills, afford treatment, and stay on top of bills, etc.. that they have to neglect while not working for a short time.

To me, the hardest part of the recovery process would be to keep happy, positive thoughts in order to heal onesself. Very difficult when you have to worry about your day to day struggles as many Americans do.

Laura will get better and during the process, she will be looking for a pity party, and seem nice, good willed, charitable, etc.. but when she knows she's in the clear, it will be with the same hate and vitriol as we've come to expect from her.

If we are expecting a Lee Atwater moment from her, we can forget it.

On another note, did you see the smug prick Tony Snow on O'Liely the other nite? That asshole is hanging in there and doesn't seem to be missing a beat in maintaining his role as a GOP propagandist in lieu of his recent diagnosis.

Good luck to ya Laura.

Godspeed.. yeah, whatever!

246. That was exactly my very first thought
when I saw an unfamiliar poster with a low post count. The way the post was phrased was suspect. We've all seen it before. I'm not sure what the poster was really thinking or intending but I'm sure they didn't expect such a thoughtful, passionate and in-depth discussion or, much less, that Elizabeth Edwards herself would weigh in on the matter!

25. She had an abortion?
Isn't it Laura Ingraham who spreads that line of bull? "There's a link between women who have abortions and those who contract breast cancer."

Or maybe she's one of the women who refused to breast feed. According to many on RW radio, this also causes breast cancer.

Not only do I pray that she'll beat this completely, I also pray that the battle will somehow open her eyes to the filth she has expounded over the years.

Get your brain in gear, please. The point of the post to which you responded was abundantly clear.

Apparently the very concept of cancer terrifies some people into an inability to recognize a point.

Hate metastasizes! Obvious! Nothing there indicates only evil people get cancer. Nothing!

Edited on Tue Apr-26-05 12:14 PM by TXlib
I haven't counted, but I would hope there are more positive than negative on this one, too.

Still, one sentiment they often express I firmly agree with: Some things can and should transcend politics. You should never be so consumed with politics you lose sight of your human compassion.
