Mrs. Edwards and Coulter's Minions

[Madspirit]

Someone posted some threads from the notoriously conservative "Little Green Footballs" site yesterday, showing that conservatives can be compassionate. I think that was a fluke.

At Ann Coulter's forum, they actually have a poll going and here are some comments from her members. I think I hate this woman and her followers more than I hate any other conservative. They just have no bounds to their hatred and ugliness:


Is Edward's Cancer announcement a vote-fishing stunt?
Yes
No


If Mrs. Edwards has a recurrence of breast cancer, we should keep her and her children in our prayers. But I would not put it past her sleazebag, slip-and-fall shyster husband to announce this to get the female vote. Here's what is suspect about this announcement:
1. Timing. It's less than a year before the dem primaries and Obama and Clinton have been getting a great deal of press. Furthermore, Mrs. Edwards announced that she had breast cancer during the same year that her husband ran for president last time. I don't doubt the original 04 announcement, but I do doubt this announcement.
2. Shamelessness. Democrats are notorious for using people they believe should be immune from criticism as human shields. In the 04 election, they rolled out triple-amputee Max Cleland. Same for Kerry with his 'I was in Veitnam' line.
3. Deflection. This could be to take the heat off of Gore's absurd testimony about the myth of global warming, to steal attention from the Hillary/Obama ad flap.
GOPixie


Their reasoning was so that the public could see that she 'looks' healthy, and not just issue a statement. Or something like that

someone please cancel this thread before it shows up on a liberal site. This is terrible ammunition to give your opponents.

Actually, I wouldn't put it past the Breck Girl to do it.
Although I will never openly accuse him of it.

No surprise here. The Dems used Michael J. Fox to smear Republicans over stem cell research in the November elections!
Invoking the "pity" vote is no surprise. It will give Edwards the "How Dare You" reply to every attack he faces from now till the cows come home. That is exactly what the Dims did with Limbaugh, when he pointed out that it looked like Fox was Off his medication. Turned out he was Over-medicated.... but either way, Rush ended up being the dirty dog, and all the while, the adds and Fox got a total pass for their full blown deceit and hypocrisy, and the Dems won those races.
Hey Michael.... got a cure? Cause you sure don't have a clue!
flyover guy


I had to vote "yes" only because there was no option for "Of course!"
Politicians, particularly Democrat politicians, do not count as "people".
orion


And just how does a trial lawyer that's worth his salt get to be a millionaire. Let's see.....moral, ethical, compassionate, truthful?
Reminds me of that movie with Al Pacino and Keanu Reeves. This is the real world and he's a real successful trial lawyer...and oh! just shame on us horrible right wingers for calling him names...he'll show us won't he....
Anyway he can............he's used to winning.

Nothing is hateful on this site.
What the dems did to cheney was hateful. But not this.
We need to call out 'conservatives' who fall for this sympathy trap. This is how Edwards extorted hundreds of millions of dollars out of medical professionals so, in a way, maybe this is poetic justice. He ran doctors and their staff out of business with his phony nuiscance suits. I wonder how many people suffered needlessly because they could not get medical care because of this shyster.
THS2254


You need to read up on how Edwards became rich. He sued medical professionals out of business with phony lawsuits. His modus operandi was parading a wheelchair-bound victim in front of a jury to get their sympathy.
Edwards is a shameless, sleazy, ambulance-chasing, slip-and-fall plaintiff's trial lawyer who got rich by putting good doctors out of business.

Good for you. What he's doing is getting people to walk right into his sympathy trap. I wouldn not be surprised if he waxed his wife's head and paraded her in front of the press with tubes coming out of her arms.
This is how that snake got rich.
THS2254


I voted YES! A typical liberal ploy by the "Breck Girl," as often noted
by our hostess, as how the libs hide behind bullet proof VICTIMS to avoid being challenged on their lies and misrepresentations.
orion


Edwards won more than 50 cases with verdicts or settlements of $1 million or more, and 31 of those were medical-malpractice suits.
During his 20 years of suing doctors and hospitals, he's pioneered the art of blaming psychiatrists for patients who commit suicide and blaming doctors for delivering babies with cerebral palsy.
From what I understand, North Carolina is lucky to have any neurologists, gynecologists or obstetrics practice at all after what Edwards did to all those doctors. This guy is ruthless. Give me one good reason to believe anything he does isn't politically motivated...
Don't complain about the cost of healthcare...complain about Edwards. He's a leech upon society.
Mr.Magoo


I voted 'yes' because Edwards is a politician and as such will use any cheap and sleazy way to gain votes or sympathy.
Powderfinger

I don't know if he is doing this for a "sympathy" vote or not. How could anyone possibly know this?
But, here is a better question. What does it say for us as a society that it is plausible that some would cast their vote for a candidate based on the medical condition of a candidate's wife?
It tells me that we are a country of buffoons who get what we deserve.

Your answer is "moderates". These are the only people who will buy into this and vote based upon their feelings. They're easily swayed because they have no solid ground upon which they stand. They can be easily manipulated, out-witted and emotionally blackmailed.
Hillary is going after the very same thing. I've already had an earful of her "I'm a middle of the country...middle of the road kinda gal" with her fake southern accent. Edwards has chose a different approach he knows will work. After all...he's an expert at it.
It's a damn shame that the dumbest people on earth are the ones who's vote count the most. It's an all out competition to see who's got the golden ticket into Willy Wonka's White House.
AladdinSane


It is common practice for liberals to employ "immune from criticism" individuals to advance their agenda.
Cindy Sheehan. "How dare you criticize a mom who lost a son?"
Michael J. Fox. "How dare you criticize a Parkinson's victim?"
Mrs. Edwards. "How dare you criticize a terminal cancer patient?"
Mr. Edwards is a public figure, and a candidate. He held the press conference. He is fair game, and I for one would not recommend pre-emptive self-censorship out of anxiety over what liberal blogs might think.
The censorship is precisely their aim, giving in to it represents surrender to wickedness.
Whatever Mr. Edwards motives may be, the media is certainly treating this event from a purely political perspective. Complete assimilation of the personal into the political. Resistance is futile.

It all about Emotion.....
Liberals know that:
Emotion trumps facts.
Emotion trumps substance.
Emotion fuels the weak minded.
Hence a Trial lawyer who goes and finds 12 people he can get to cry and have a deep seeded resentment for some wrong doing and vent their own emotions onto a big corporation or a successful doctor. Stem Cell research is led by a shaking a twitching actor to gain Sympathy, in direct response to reasonable, professional people pointing out the true facts. Who needs facts, when you can cause tears, hand a tissue to someone, right before they enter the voting booth.

During his 20 years of suing doctors and hospitals, he's pioneered the art of blaming psychiatrists for patients who commit suicide and blaming doctors for delivering babies with cerebral palsy.
And due to the blaming of doctors for babies with cerebral palsy the rate of c-sections in this country is through the roof. A procedure that carries way more risks all around than a vaginal birth.
AladdinSane


Did Junk Science Make John Edwards Rich
Quote:
'I have to tell you right now -- I didn't plan to talk about this -- right now I feel her (Jennifer), I feel her presence,' Edwards told the jury according to court records. " inside me and she's talking to you ... And this is what she says to you. She says, 'I don't ask for your pity. What I ask for is your strength. And I don't ask for your sympathy, but I do ask for your courage.'"

Edwards' emotional plea worked. Jennifer Campbell's family won a record jury verdict of $6.5 million against the hospital where the girl was born -- a judgment reduced later to $2.75 million on appeal. Edwards also settled with Jennifer's obstetrician for $1.5 million.
...
Edwards, who opposes legislation that would cap damages in liability lawsuits, would not respond to repeated requests through his campaign offices for comment.
John Edwards vs. Babies and Moms
Quote:
One in seven of fellows of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists has quit obstetrics and many rural areas now have no such doctors.
Meanwhile health insurance premiums have skyrocketed, in part because doctors don't just absorb higher malpractice fees; they also pass them on.
Further, in what's called " defensive medicine," lawsuit fears increased the number of "When in doubt, cut it out" C-sections. Cesareans in the U.S. had begun dropping in the late 1980s, going as low as 22 percent of deliveries. As Edwards and friends spread fear across the Ob/gyn land, rates began to climb again. The rate is now 30.2 percent, a record high for the nation.
...
Photos released by the Edwards campaign often feature him surrounded by his wife and kids. No doubt he loves them very much. It's too bad he thinks so little of the families of others.
Edwards Malpractice Suits Leave Bitter Taste
Quote:
The American Medical Association lists North Carolina's current health care situation as a "crisis" and blames it on medical-malpractice lawsuits such as the ones that made Democratic vice-presidential candidate Sen. John Edwards a millionaire many times over.
...
"The John Edwards we know crushed and neurosurgery in North Carolina," said Dr. Craig VanDerVeer, a Charlotte neurosurgeon. "As a result, thousands of patients lost their health care."
Who's the buffoon now, fool?

Any doctor that treats this Ambulance Chasers wife for cancer, deserves everything they have coming to them. If I were that Doctor's insurance company, I'd cancel that policy immediately.

Surely you don't underestimate the cunning immorality of the liberal.
The liberal mind is highly compartmentalized so even if it crossed My Little Pony's puny mind, it was quickly put in it's place.
Projection works for normal, honorable people too. We all have a hard time believing anyone would exploit such a situation, (since we wouldn't do such a thing), but it happens every day.
No matter who or what Silky 'Bundle of Sticks'* exploits, he is OVER as far as the Prez race is concerned.
*An alternate definition of that word that Ann was lambasted for....BTW, I thought her comment was hilarious, once i got the whole joke.
Don't you go changing, dear Ann.
oledawg


If I would be required to make a decision, I would insist on a choice of 'Probably'.
I believe most of us are more than aware of Edwards' history and even though he is a thoroughly despicable person, I still must recall the admonishment of Jesus concerning the two most important Commandments.
Especially, in this topic, on Commandment number two. I have a much harder time keeping this Commandment than the first.
I would again request we consider this point and refrain from emotional rants.
DKong


If it is a vote-fishing stunt, it's one of the lowest, sleaziest moves a
person could make.
Actually, if I were a politician and learned my spouse had a malignancy I would not be able to do anything else except for devote my time and attention to him.
I'd have a tough time traveling knowing he might need me back at any minute.
Even if he told me it would be alright if I left him to campaign, I would have a hard time doing it.

I WONDER IF Edwards hateful "i hate God" bloggers are praying for his wife.

2. So what do they say if she dies? That Edwards staged it? Idiots.

22. y'know, I would not bet against it

9. Probably because of his hair

It is always in place, and he always looks good. Pretty damned juvenile, IMHO.

[bunkerbuster1]

10. I know why they call him that!

Rush told them to.

For example...

[gaspee]

28. Poor Mr. Limpballs

jealous of the beautiful inside-and-out Edwards family. I feel pity for the poor man. But then I remember that he is the "water carrier" of the fascists and my pity doesn't seem quite so warranted.

It sickens me just to hear that man's voice. I literally become sick to my stomach the second I hear his hate filled ranting. He and the other people like him, the Beck's, the Hannity's, the Humes, the Coulter's etc are the manifestation of a generational plan for those who value money over humanity to win. And they have, so far. But their victory is temporary (I hope.)

Sometimes when I get so down about the way of the world, I try to take a longer view of history and how now is almost always better than then. (If you discount the dark ages *G*. But the Enlightenment did happen. Eventually.)

[CottonBear]

12. They call him that because he has great hair. Breck is (was) a ladies shampoo

that advertised via a Breck Girl campaign back in the 1970s. A very young Kim Basinger was a Breck Girl model.

[Hekate]

14. "Beautiful hair by Breck" was a series of shampoo ads for women 1950s-1960s

Those ads were in all the magazines -- a lovely portrait of a woman with flawless hair, sometimes snuggling a little girl with identical hair coloring (unless that one was for hair dye). But those ads were ubiquitous -- you could get serious hair envy off of them.

And John Edwards has a full head of flawless hair, and he dimples when he smiles.... and somewhere there's a YouTube clip of him combing his hair in front of a mirror.

They're feminizing him. "See how cute he is? A little too perfect. And vain, too. The Breck Girl." :-(

Hekate

[InvisibleTouch]

19. I've said this before, but it bears repeating:

They're jealous because they don't have such handsome candidates. Sucks to be them.

4. I don't need to read this filth to know

that pond scum GOPs always accuse us of doing everything they actually do. When you're an unprincipled sack of shit, the whole world is filled with nothing but unprincipled sacks of shit.

I'd rather we attempt to do some real good now that we have more power in congress instead of keeping up with the petty daily little things. I mean who didn't expect people who read coulter to say things like this?

15. I guess I don't

**ends_don't_justify...I mean who didn't expect people who read coulter to say things like this?**


My parents were conservative and they would NEVER EVER have said this kind of garbage. One would think breast cancer would cross all barriers and people would have compassion. I wouldn't even act like this if Ann Coulter herself got breast cancer. I think it's just awful and yes, it surprises me a bit. I usually put nothing past them but this...I didn't think they would go this far. Republican women get breast cancer too. One would think compassion......but I guess not.
Lee

[AngryOldDem]

16. That shows you how coarse some in society have become

Ideology trumps decency; one cannot feel compassion unless it's toward one's "own." It's sad. And while I'm sure that some won't agree, I think it shows how polarized we've become as a society as well. If it directly doesn't affect "me," then I have no reason to care or be concerned.

I contrast this with the thread in LBN about Tony Snow, who may (or may not) be facing the same thing as Elizabeth Edwards. Yes, there are some snarky comments, but for the most part reaction has been one of guarded concern with some good wishes for his health -- certainly not the out and out hate that this right-wing site has posted. Says something for DU.

[zbdent]

13. I have to laugh about the "parading a wheelchair-bound victim"

since, I believe, a young relative of Cheney's suffered from injuries from the same type of lawsuit that Edwards fought and won ...

where the makers of swimming pools did not make drainage vents safer, and young kids died of massive internal injuries because their intestines were sucked out of their bodies because the suction was far too much - or they drowned after getting stuck to the drains ...

[MissB]

17. Yeah, their hatred certainly clouds any sense of

reason or humanity.

[DeepBlueC]

26. I can't believe these guys

shedding crocodile tears for corporations, HMOs being persecuted by little guys who could safely be ignored if not for Evil Geniuses like Edwards. God forbid that we should look at the victims of malfeasance. They forget that Edwards didn't steal these settlements; juries of our peers awarded them. And corporations hire armies of jury consultants to detect and winnow out plaintiff's sympathizers from the jury pool. Location matters in jury composition but once that is decided you can not easily stack the deck one way or another.

[RubyDuby in GA]

20. My god. These are some of the dumbest people on the planet.

You have to wonder how or if they can dress themselves.

Man, hope y'all don't choke on all of that hatred now. Oh wait, yes I do hope for that! My bad.

21. We need a new word, one to describe the 'lowest of the low'.

48. That's good. Or how about 'the lowest form of life on Earth, vegetable

or mineral'. That would be tlfoloEvom, right?

24. And this repuke attitude is a surprise?

25. Not only are they obnoxious...

But they're also really stupid. Sigh. Why can't people use spell check? Or use words they know? I know it's a petty thing to pick on; I don't dare to delve further into their pysches fearing permanent damage to my own, but why oh why can't they at least be literate when showcasing their hate.

When a person's first thought is that others are out to do them ill, I ask myself, "why would they think that?" I know the answer. It's a reflection of their own ethics and morals. The people who always think the worst of others are the ones always planning the worst. Honest, caring people do not immediately assume everyone in the world is as selfish, hateful, and dishonest.. It's not where their mind is starting from, whereas those who think the worst of others are only channeling their inner thoughts and projecting them outward.

I just want another recommendation for this because one more and it will end up on greatest page and then they surely will see it and I REALLY want them to see that their foulness is public knowledge. A lot of people read DU.

These people will never, ever change. They will embrace their hatred until they are no more. They don't listen, they won't care, and trying to think we can change their minds -- ever -- is insanity. We have so many other things that desperately need doing. Every moment we give these wastes of human skin is a moment we won't be able to spend on the things that really matter, like working to finally get medical coverage for EVERYONE in this country.

Elizabeth Edwards is a fighter. I hope she's spending today, and every day she has with all of us, out changing her world. If each of us spent even five minutes a day implementing her and John's vision for a better America, we'd be so much better off.

[PATRICK]

34. They should be more worried about

ordinary people becoming rather suspicious anything bad happens to the good guys. The overwhelming number of tragedies seem to happen to obstacles to the GOP, especially the Dynasty. Coincidence to fuel paranoia? Dark Freeper God? Conspiracy theory? What matters is that the tendency to blame terrible people who have done and said anything they could to harm their rivals and kept everything secret is getting rooted in the common folk. It is not rabid, not viciously imaginative, just a more mainstream aura of blame which the other side prides itself in earning. The undercurrent of fear and secrecy has created that.

Am I saying THEY caused the cancer? I was not even thinking it. Others less engaged in politics in general have. Bush is becoming the boogie man among many more people than the tiny group of sociopaths that adore him. And their insults provoke these wild suspicions to come more naturally to the surface.

Just as what was never spoken in the MSM, that Nixon was behind the JFK hit, was an undercurrent suspicion during Watergate when the burglars were found to be RW Cubans and CIA goons with ties to "details".

If Nixon had a peanutbrain gallery like this provoking the decent people no one would have been satisfied until they had those suppressed questions answered.

It's good to post it here because no one scrutinizes her forum the way they do us. I like exposing their hate. I think it needs to be exposed. The MSM certainly doesn't do it. I WANT people to see what hate mongers they really are. I think it's important. I'm sorry if you don't like it. Don't worry. I do it rarely. I just think the MSM needs to see this and since they read our site but evidently not Ann's.....

41. Well I for one thank you for posting this poison....

sometimes I click a thread and get disgusted , just as I did as I read the replies to the initial thread on the site you posted from, but then I move on...either posting my 2 cents or not depending on the subject.

This time I added about a buck and half to my usual 2 cents, but I think it shows how vile some people can be when they are essentially anonymous...truly sad...

These people always try to appear so tough, but they are nothing more sand shifting...if any of them were afflicted, they would run screaming for all the help they could get...so easy to be a coward when anonymous.

Lee

[rasputin1952]

40. To be honest, I think there is a "Herd Mentality" that runs through the

American psyche on several layers.

It takes someone to say something vile, and others who may feel only a little on one side agrees, that brings on more agreement and it spirals down into the sewer. Oddly, it is very rare for the opposite to happen and an upward spiral develop.

So some windbag like Coulter or Limbaugh gets the ball rolling, and before you know it, you see people that would never publicly say anything like this, doing what they despise most about others. If this were your "average" American woman, would there be an uproar for her care during her battle w/cancer? Of course not. Women in this nation die everyday from BC, but we rarely hear of them, and we never hear of them if they can't afford something cheap like a decent narcotic to control pain. It is the mindset that come w/Herd Mentality. Most people, if they heard of someone very poor and helpless would do what they could to help, friend or stranger, makes no difference really, we are a compassionate people. We could find ways to alleviate someone's pain and misery while they were dying. Even those who spew bile on sites like Coulter's would show some empathy, if they broke from the herd...but the herd is a powerful thing, it justifies behavior that society says is repulsive. It is easy to go down the path, and it is not a lonely path by any stretch of the imagination.

Our "herd" can be just as offensive, but we tend to empathize w/others that are afflicted. While the Coulter's and Limbaugh's relish tossing gas on smoldering emotions, we are trying to find ways to put out the embers...until it comes to neo-cons, but we just want them out of power before they bring on Armageddon, we're not dong the despising thing for base emotional satisfaction, we're doing it for survival.

Ah crap...there I go again from my ...To put it in a nutshell, we care, they do to, but more about themselves than the collective we call humanity...:D

[JTG of the PRB]

42. Disgusting.

I am absolutely disgusted at some of the responses I've read from that so-called poll question (if it can so be called). It just boggles my mind that people could actually treat this announcement with skepticism, criticism, and cold-heartedness. These so-called conservatives are no such thing. They are simply terrible, cold, calculating people.

My hubby's a doctor, and I find this kind of comment disgusting and reprehensible. I know some doctors are uncomfortable with lawyers, and God knows the AMA blames them for everything from insurance woes to global warming, but for pete's sake!!! Malpractice happens. Doctors sometimes harm or kill patients. That's why we have those laws and the lawyers to help.

I think that Dr. Carey (I think that's her name) is a great doctor to step up and treat Elizabeth, regardless of her profession or her husband's former profession.

I feel like I need a shower after reading through that. What a horrible group of people. I would never say anything like that about Tony Snow--I feel sorry for him, as he and his family have to be scared right now. I'm praying for him and for Elizabeth and everyone involved with them and their treatments. Can't they have the basic human decency to feel bad for a woman facing a very lethal diagnosis?

then these people need to buy a sense of humor, or at least irony. Besides, Cheney himself wasn't hurt in the hunting accident, and, well, it *was* his fault...now how that relates to Elizabeth Edwards' cancer, I have no idea. :shrug:

When I first heard this announcement it smelled to high heaven. It's a set up. I have no doubts whatsoever. Now my saying that doesn't mean I don't hope for Mrs. Edwards full recovery because I do, absolutely.

If his wife is sick, that would mean that he wouldn't be able to put his whole effort into the presidency. It would lessen his chances of being elected.

Thank you so much; I'm not a good googler.
We are losing all of our good doctors because they can't afford malpractice insurance. Granted there are some doctors who operate under the influence and they should lose their license.
But it's terrible to prey on people who have been seriously stricken on the operating table just because the doctor couldn't provide a miracle. If a doctor tries his best; that should be enough. Doctors are not God; patients die all the time and sometimes patients are left in terrible circumstances who would have died without the doctor to begin with.
So Edwards became rich by feeding off people who had terrible misfortunes in life. Seems he's quite the successful ambulance chaser. ugggggggggggggh
I'd like to see someone file a legal mal-practice suit on him. Pot-Kettle

yeah right, in the eyes of the liberal, it would be the perfect set-up
for the pity vote. i'll be surprised if he doesn't kill her himself before
the election.
I'd like to say that you are wrong but the way things are now I can't say for sure. I've seen people sacrificed brutally for the gain of others, as most of us have, so I don't suppose it can be totally ruled out. I hope your surprised. I wouldn't have sacrificed my spouse (or children). The Bible talks about the cult of Molech that "passed their children through the fire (burned them alive, killed them) as a sacrifice to their god Molech for power and material gain. They are an abomination to God. I think the cult still exists today in one form or another, one name or another.

really, it would surprise me. i was just being obnoxious with that
last line. but as far as the 1st line goes, the democratic party would pick
up on that guilt/pity vote real quick. i believe that wholeheartedly.

Why can't he pursue his aspirations later?? He's young. He's got bucks (and probably a Breck contract up his sleeve) he's got time. She doesn't. She's terminal, remember. You don't know how long she's going to last. If that isn't pimping for votes, I don't know what is.

Are you telling me you did not know about this stuff? You did not know that this slimeball was a trial lawyer? Ann did a column on Edwards, where she discussed his 'channeling' of a unborn child who died at birth. Edwards was using this tragic event to extort money from a hospital and the doctor.

Any doctor that treats this Ambulance Chasers wife for cancer, deserves everything they have coming to them. If I were that Doctor's insurance company, I'd cancel that policy immediately.

Amen to that!

He's absolutely correct. Edwards made his living suing doctors based on absolute junk science. He should be ashamed of himself for ruining many careers of good medical professionals. He should be sued himself.

It's not even accepted anymore that much that lack of oxygen during labor and delivery is the main cause of CP anyway. So say the AAP and ACOG. Now THAT junk science is how John Edwards did make all of his money
The evidence is solid on the why evolution is a fraud and why Edwards IS pimping his wife for votes.
