110. I just restored it again
Edited on Tue Oct-04-05 11:35 PM by kimpossible
Someone had just deleted it. I put in a bit of editing for style while I was at it. If you hate it, I won't mind if you put it back the way it was.

Some members of Free Republic, Conservative Underground, and other conservative web sites smeared voters rights advocate Andy Stephenson while he was dying of amorphous cell pancreatic cancer. Participants speculated, without grounds, that Andy Stephenson did not have cancer. Posters who disbelieved he was sick referred to Andy as "Scamdy" on Free Republic as recently as September 20, 2005. <http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1434439/posts>. False allegations of fraud prompted Paypal to cut off the informal fundraising for his operation, forcing his surgery to be delayed by two weeks <http://www.opednews.com/articles/opedne_elizabet_050714_the_stalking_of_andy.htm>. Later his <[Medicaid>] benefits for aftercare and terminal hospital care were terminated. Andy's friends and supporters blamed members of FR and CU for these events<[http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/071105Y.shtml>]. Andy Stephenson died from his cancer on 7/7/2005 at Seattle's Virginia Mason Medical Center<http://www.seattleweekly.com/features/0528/050713_news_andy.php>.
