Schilling Will Appear in NH

[louis c]

with President Bush to endorse him in the Key swing state in Red Sox Nation.

He just did an interview on our local NBC affiliate on Channel 7.

Maybe some of you DU apologists for Schilling would like to meet up with him and cheer him on.

I for one, will hate him for the rest of my life.

By the way, I'll be in NH working for Kerry, trying to buck the tide that now will be against us with this huge Red Sox win and Schilling lending that aura to President Bush.

It might not be a big deal in Ohio and Florida, but believe me, it carries some weight in New Hampshire.

1. That's just foul.

[Bluebear]

2. And he will attract THRONGS

Thanks, Curt. Glad to know Red Sox nation only means red for you.

[indigobusiness]

3. He'll be hard to see...

he's that transparent.

Like I said on that other thread..."Schilling has his tongue so far up the ass of all that is wrong in this country, is it any wonder his former teammates can't stand him?".

[fryguy]

who cares

if there are yahoos who are dumb enough to vote for someone just because a brianiac like a major league pitcher says so, chances are they're not able to find their way to the polling stations anyway....

[Bluebear]

7. You evidently don't appreciate how tenuous NH is

There will definitely be yahoos who think Curt is now a god.

[fryguy]

9. and they'll show up to vote bright and early Nov. 3rd

[obatanga]

22. f*ck schilling

Who cares? Pro athletes are everything Repug:
too much money, no brains.

We love the teams, screw the players.

[VOX]

4. Schilling belongs in the same flush-file as Schwarzenegger...

These guys are using their celebrity as a lever for the right wing.

They have broad appeal, and it is easy to soften when they are so charming and/or skilled at their craft.

Nevertheless, these guys are backing the very forces that are taking this country down a long, dark path of hate, ignorance, and blind hubris.

5. Christian groups supporting Kerry need to mobilize!

Schilling is wrong, wrong, wrong.
He can be countered effectively.

[dennis4868]

14. He can be countered effectively

Kerry needs Jonny Damon and David Ortiz in NH!

[NewYorkerfromMass]

20. No, just that Kerry is a better Christian

Bush is a terrible example of a Christian.

[Killarney]

6. NH is going to be very close. This could tip the scales.

I'd like to read it myself before I jump to conclusions, though.

[Bluebear]

11. Judy Woodruff just reported it with glee

[fryguy]

8. just like the 1998 florida marlins

schilling has gone from first to last place in record time...

[Cocoa]

10. Schilling shilling n/t

[KamaAina]

12. I'll see your Schilling and raise you a Theo Epstein

the blue-chip (in more ways than one!) GM who brought Schilling to the Sox in the first place. Get a load of this!

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/fallclassic/columns/story?id=1907279

"This is such an emotional lift for people in New England and all over the world," Boston general manager Theo Epstein said "I hope they enjoy it. I hope they do something good with it. I hope they go vote Tuesday and make the world a better place."

P.S. Of course Schilling's a repuke. He has access to the finest health care available, even if the rest of us do not...

[BeyondGeography]

18. Theo's a good man; now let's get him teamed up with Damon

and send them both to NH.

28. My email to Schilling

Dear Curt Schilling,

I heard you will campaign for Bush in NH. Now. I'm suddenly not so happy the Sox won and plan to root against you from here on.

Why do you like Bush so much? Is it his tax cuts for super wealthy Americans like you? He's not stronger on defense than Kerry - his Iraq war that he lied his way into cost us international goodwill and has resulted in daily terrorism against Americans in the Middle East. There are far more terrorists who hate the US now than before Sept. 11.

You and the media should know that Sen. John Kerry has received support from many current and retired athletes himself, including NBA player Grant Hill, tennis players Andre Agassi and John McEnroe, former NFL players Franco Harris and Alex Karras, and former wrestler Jesse Ventura.

For more details on that, go to http://ww.opednews.com/thoreau_102604_athletes.htm

It's disappointing that you chose the wrong candidate at the wrong time.

30. Beautifully done

Welcome aboard, Jackson!

[jackson]

33. Thanks

I've read these forums a lot in the past couple of years - it's where I can get news on important issues the quickest. Just haven't had as much time to post much.

[dennis4868]

13. F U CURT SCHILLING!

I did not like you after you beat my Yankees in the 2001 WS....NOW I HATE YOU! FUCK YOU!!!!

Hey Curt, did you hear about that study that said that people who support Bush are in Fantasy Land when it comes to the facts?

[Bluebear]

16. He made a 15 million dollar bonus by them winning the series

He only cares about his tax cut. Screw everyone else.

[dennis4868]

19. Would he stump with Bush.....

if Schilling's son/daughter had to go Iraq and die for Bush's lies?

[Bluebear]

21. No but that's not important to him

It's all about Curt's personal world.

[Weembo]

15. "Oh Curt, not the bushstock." NT

[Catherine Vincent]

17. Shouldn't he be out celebrating with his team instead of

kissing Bush's ass?

[against all enemies]

23. The religious right's Boston pitcher.

Curt Schilling, I would rather still have the curse. You suck.

[Cha]

24. Takes some of the sweetness out of the

Red Sox win, doesn't it?

I'm hoping Kerry's team is all over this and someone else from the Red Sox will stump for Kerry..anyone?

[GDoyle]

25. Screw Curt Schilling

Two nights ago, I wore a Curt Schilling jersey while watching the Red Sox game. I'll never wear it again and I'll never forgive him for turning what should be the greatest sports moment of my life, something I have been dreaming and waiting for since I was a kid into a cheap political statement. He should be ashamed.

29. Welcome to DU, GDoyle and I'm

really sorry about all this for you BoSox fans and for our Country, too.

He does Not know what he's doing to this Country by shilling for bush.

If he only realized what a no good fake bush is..and would Jesus do what bush does?..I think not..


WAKE UP CURT SCHILLING BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!

[Bluebear]

31. Welcome to DU and I agree

[bushwakker]

26. Where are the apologists now? This could really hurt.

[mconvente]

27. nothing new

Schilling is a media hounddog - he loves the spotlight. And while he did great in the ALCS, I'm sure the Sox would have won the World Series without him in game 2.

[mzmolly]

32. Who the hell is Schilling?

I imagine he's a Red Sox player ... but is the the pitcher or what?
