Woman's Obituary Asks To Elect Kerry - Freeper Hopes She Burns In Hell
<snip>

MADISON, Wis. -- The world of politics has been taken to a whole new level and sparked quite a response from some. A Wisconsin man is using his wife's obituary to push her passion for politics.

Jane Buffet passed away Saturday from myeloma, a cancer in her bones. Roger Buffet didn't know their 40th wedding anniversary last month would be their last. Now he's hoping all her work in the community and her passion for politics will live on.

"She may be dead, but everything she was working for and everything she cared about, it was about the future," Roger said.

While, traditionally, yard signs are ways to support a candidate, in Jane Buffet's obit, her final statement reads, "To honor her memory, please do everything you can to elect John Kerry."

"Her vote couldn't count any more, but this was the best way we knew to make her voice heard," John said.

Her passion for politics evoked a scathing response from an anonymous caller: "It's too bad she won't be able to vote for Kerry, and hopefully on the day that Bush gets elected she'll burn in hell!"

The call didn't surprise Roger. He believes risks have to be taken to get out a message.

1. There are a lot of black hearts out there
How low and sick is someone that could even think of placing a call like that, much less carry it out.

2. Theis guy must have had a nice Christian upbring. I think we need a list
of all these so called christians statements and put them out to the masses. I saw the story about her obit, and this is just maddening.

5. Oh, yeah! That's the right-wing love we're talkin' about!
No doubt shared by a good Christian soul, just passing along the love of God and those rock-solid morals.

Hell is not hot enough for them.

6. So, how many of the holier-than-thou types at DU...
...that insulted and chastized me for going off on a right-wing hatemonger will have anything negative to say about that freeper woman? I'm guessing pitifully few.
