[MasonJar]

25. I do not know if you read any of the candles, but I read a few and

one labeled DU asked the Lord to take the life of the pig-sucking fool and .... I am so appalled that I now know that never again will I have the least concern for anything that might befall a person of such low-self esteem and such unabashed cruelty of perspective. What more is there to say? I say to the Lord, "Save the polar bear and let man go. He is not deserving."

[Infinite Hope]

27. Yeah, see above comment. There were a tiny handful of Freepers...

but the rest were all DUers and there are a few dozen.

[renate]

36. wow

Well, that's the difference between them and us.

I don't think anybody here would take a beautiful thing like the lighting of a candle for someone's recovery and turn it into something that ugly. I really don't.

If Bush or Cheney or any of that crew had a medical emergency I might not trouble myself to pray for them, and I'm not particularly proud of that... but I wouldn't post anything ugly on a webpage full of prayers and good wishes. That's just ill.

Simply being a person who would do something like that is punishment enough for that kind of behavior.

[alittlelark]

41. A truly foul post was made

www.gratefulness.org/candles/message.cfm?l=eng&cid=2129713

The name listed in GOD. It was certainly a DU troll - any ideas?

[Infinite Hope]

42. They're not worth the effort.

Though it's interesting he wants Peter Doyle back as if exchanging one life for the other somehow dissolves them of guilt. It's also interesting because Peter Doyle is on the left and John Lennon was his Best Man when he was married.

[Infinite Hope]

43. 100 total candles! A small handful are Freepers so let's add a few more!

[snowbear]

59. Can you believe what some of the freeps wrote on some candles?

I am so sick to my stomach at how they are circling like vultures, sending out death wishes on their site, and now --- have even resorted to trashing these beautiful candles.

And they think they are "Holier than Thou" ?

I think not.

[BigBearJohn]

60. Done!

[northofdenali]

61. Done.

"10,192 candles from 108 countries are shining." :grouphug:

Not all for TJ, but still........... it says something about this old world that people still continue to care so much.

[Infinite Hope]

62. And that's from only 48 hours...candles only remain lit for 48 hours.

So it's especially amazing there are that many. Come Friday afternoon, check on your candle and relight it!

[snowbear]

64. Oh thank you!

I was just going to ask you if we'd be able to relight them!

[Infinite Hope]

72. It'll disappear so you have to light another. n/t

Beautiful.
Thanks for posting this. jmd

Get well soon, Sen. Johnson. My prayers are with your family. Disgusting freepers. Shows how much they really care about humanity in general. If a Repub Senator was ill, I would light a candle for him/her too.

"U suk"
Democrats are yellow traitors

"GOD"
Please take the life of this gravy-sucking pig and give us back Peter Boyle. Thanks Lord.

"ROVE"
Hope beyond hope that Bush is behind this. We will get it all in the end anyway. One way or another.

"f Dem"
*** all traitor Dems

"Adios"
What's the big deal? One less Dem.

[Vektor]

78. There's a special place for people like that.

It's very hot, and comments like those assure admission.

:evilgrin:

Anyone that filled with hate must have a miserable existence. I almost pity them.

[Infinite Hope]

76. 168 candles, let's hit 200!

Freeper comments have been deleted.

[Vektor]

77. Done K&R - n/t

[spoony]

79. Another flicker

[hlthe2b]

80. Please don't forget to go back and relight your candle... or

light another. Tim J. has a long recovery--let's keep it going. (your candle remains lit for 48 hours--only unless you return to relight and add a message).

[hlthe2b]

81. How about keeping this kicked for a while?

[knowledgeispwr]

82. Relight your candles starting 2 days after you lit it.

That starts Friday for the first who lit theirs.
