Senator Ted Kennedy Has Malignant Brain Tumor

Prayers for Senator Kennedy and his family.

Oy Vey!

I wish the Senator the very best.

Cancer is an indiscriminate beast.

More very rough waters ahead for the Kennedy family, accoeding to the following site, 37 weeks after treatment, a grim prognosis for them to face. Peace and strength to his family.

My prayers and best wishes to the Kennedy family. As others have stated, though I have no love for Kennedy’s politics and practices, cancer and illness in general are outside politics.

Kudos to Flopping Aces for showing the true difference between conservatives and liberals. My thoughts and prayers are also with the family, as this is a malady not to be wished on anyone.

this is not the place for a soapbox speech.

Then why’d you stand on yours?

Just give your well-wishes to the Senator and then be done with you.

Steve,

In all seriousness, no one called your name or singled you out for ridicule. No one lumped you in either.

When Reagan died, the vitriol coming from the Left was like raw sewage.

When there was an attempt on Cheney’s life in Afghanistan, the response was identical.

Did you read the garbage that the Left spewed forth when Charlton Heston died?

I’m not even going to begin to address the things that have been said about President Bush.

How about the extensive post on HuffPo about the wedding of Jena Bush? Didn’t see that? Well I won’t link it here because it was so far down into the gutter that it doesn’t deserve being given the added traffic. Suffice it to say that “breathtaking” comes to mind.

Anytime something happens to a Conservative, the far Left wackos come flooding out of the woodwork with their nastiness.

As a result places like HuffPo, etc. have to close down their comments sections because they know what is coming their way.

To claim it is 1% is just a way for you to minimize it and unless you can justify that number with factual data, then it’s just more drivel.

You, on the other hand, like to come here and use phrases like “all Conservatives” or “every Conservative” which is likewise disingenuous because unless you have talked to and evaluated “all” or “every” Conservative you cannot honestly make such a statement.

Yet you have the nerve to squeal when you feel slighted, even though you weren’t.

Perhaps you, like Obie, are possessed of a guilty conscience and therefore see every criticism as being aimed at you.

They say that the person who gets their toes stepped on will be the person who complains.

ChrisG,

Please delete this if you deem it inappropriate, but I felt it necessary to address this issue.

You left out Tony Snow and the DU reaction to his cancer.

It’s too late for deletion; as soon as we began patting ourselves on the back, we opened this up for derailment. Philly Steve could have been “the bigger man”, and not allow his ego to be baited. Of course, that would mean Steve would actually have to possess class and a sense of propriety.

Yes, Wordsmith you are correct.

I completely forgot about Tony Snow.

ChrisG, thank you.

I just don’t want to cross the lines of propriety.

I wish Senator Kennedy & family the best. I know from experience just how devastating cancer is.

As to the other topics discussed in the comments:

It’s easy to wish harm on ones adversaries – political or otherwise, when one considers their motives evil. I rarely see that type of response from conservative sources and often see it from liberal sources. Of course, I have no hard numbers to support either claim, just my own anecdotal experience.

I just consider those I disagree with to be wrong, not evil. Considering that I have been wrong in the past and am sure to be again, I do not want others hating or wishing me harm for it. I try to extend that respect to others as well. No matter how opposed to their beliefs I may be.
