I don't care how it makes me look, but I DO NOT GIVE a FLYING FLIP about pickles

[greenbriar]

about pickles cancer

as I said before, IF they wanted it quiet, they should have kept it quiet, but ...

the WH saw an opportunity and they took it!

oh and by the way, how many people have the money or the insurance to treat it early like she did???



Fuck them all


its true and you know it

2. I'm a cancer survivor, and yet I agree with you.

nothing is coincidental with this group.

[ClassWarrior]

3. The words, "now they're exploiting Laura's cancer," should be on our lips...

...at family gatherings this holiday season.

NGU.

[Tony_Illinois]

4. What is wrong with you people. . .

no matter how miserable these impostors or their politics are... we aren't happy another human being has or had cancer, are we?

Sounds like something I would expect from Limbaugh.

[Straight Shooter]

6. It's the exploitation factor. Any news they release is calculated for maximum benefit. n/t

[Gabi Hayes]

13. got that right....I heard on the radio that a reporter noticed a bandaid

on her leg on NOVEMBER 5th! media has known about it for six weeks!

WTF

[greenbriar]

nothing is wrong with me. they reap what they sew

and they leave nothign to chance.

this was a calculated news dump

ask yourself why now after 3 weeks??? IF they had wanted it private, she could have worn pants or long dresses.



this was cold calculated and deliberate



don't let them succeed

[niyad]

11. you are missing the point, which is that most of us DON'T CARE. we have real, urgent concerns about

the state of our world, and a mole or whatever simply has NO importance to us.

[peacebird]

14. I'm sure the Bush's are terribly upset by all the body bags returning from their war of choice

:sarcasm:

somehow I doubt they give the carnage they have caused a moments thought. As Babs famously remarked "I can't waste my beautiful mind" on thoughts like that......

I think the correct title is "what is wrong with THOSE people", not us.

[greenbriar]

15. BINGO

fuck em all

[malaise]

20. Add me to the

fuck em all list.

[pdrichards114]

66. Sign me up too,

[greenbriar]

18. need I remind you of all the comments they made about Mrs. Edwards

and it was not at all nice

[enuffs_enuffs]

19. What do you mean inre: "you people"

One can't always take the high road... lest your a Saint, right?

[Tony_Illinois]

47. It would be unless "you're" a Saint . . .

at least spell you attempted put-downs properly.

[HeeBGBz]

49. I believe that would be "your attempted put-downs"

Not you. Sauce for the goose and all that.

[enuffs_enuffs]

58. Sorry, but... that has to hurt... n/t

[Seeking Serenity]

21. Would we be saying the same about Sen. Kennedy

in a similar situation?

"Aw, screw 'im, he has insurance."

I think not.

Karma can be a bitch.

Be cool, folks.

[greenbriar]

23. the kennedy family has had mounds of public tragedy and they never exploited it EVER

you are comparing apples to oranges

[Seeking Serenity]

28. Fine. Then change it to Sen. Obama or Feingold

Do you really think its a cool thing for people to be wishing that Laura Bush would catch something incurable and fuckin' die?!

I'm sorry but I don't wish hateful shit on anybody. And I think it's bad karma when people do.

Not only that, we become that which we hate when we do that.

As the bumper sticker says, "Hate is NOT a family value."

[greenbriar]

31. I didn't wish this on her at all...BUT I don't give a shit

and the fact that they waited until the news about IRAQ and rummy and gates and the pusstard got no bounce, they announced this


it was deliberate to try to garnish sympathy and they will get NONE from me

[Seeking Serenity]

34. Fine. Whatever.

I'm sorry I wasted valuable bandwidth on your petty, childish, schadenfreude thread.

43. Obama, et al

Umm-crucial difference here.

The folks you mention--Obama, Kennedy, Feingold--are not DEVOTING ALL THEIR RESOURCES TO SCREWING OVER MIDDLE AND LOWER CLASS AMERICANS!!!!!

What part of that isn't clear to you?

Yes, Kennedy has insurance. He isn't trying to make it all but impossible for ordinary Americans, including senior citizens who have worked all their lives and expected to be cared for in the retirement, to have access to health insurance and medical care.

I'm supposed to care that the Thorazine Queen had a teeny, tiny, non-lethal cancer removed from her leg? Like they cared about people dying in Iraq? In New Orleans?

[greenbriar]

44. exactly

right on point

[tabasco]

63. For what it's worth I agree completely.

Just the purpose of this thread makes me scratch my head.

There are silly, immature, people here too. I believe the hatefulness comes from perceived personal shortcomings.

I'm really ashamed for DU, and like many others, have found it pretty bad lately.

[greenbriar]

29. its funny with a low post count you would be bringing up the repukes fav target

to throw in our faces

[Seeking Serenity]

30. I mentioned him specifically because he IS the Repugs'

favorite target. How would we feel? We would be outraged, of course. Can we really claim to be better when we lower ourselves to their level? And for what, so some people can get their jollies?

Not cool.

Don't become that which you purport to hate.

And since when did 400+ posts become a low post count?

[katsy]

45. Do you think Kennedy would fight tooth & nail against universal health care?

bush*co would. Pickles and bush* get super duper care because of their power & wealth. Have either spoken in favor of healthcare for everyone? Has pickles used her power and position to urge hospitals/clinics to screen for skin cancer as a public service because it's the right thing to do? Or is quality health care reserved for their base of haves and have mores?

No one is begrudging anyone for having health ins. Karma is a bitch and it's bushco* that needs to be concerned about it. Not us.

[SoCalDem]

25. What surprises me -is that the press is reporting that it was the size of a NICKEL.

That's a pretty big "sumthin'-or-other" to go unnoticed by the "best medical care in the world" like we supposedly have here in the US..'specially for the first lady's doctor..

[greenbriar]

27. a dime, a nickle what ever...spin spin spin

they are all liars

[goclark]

33. That is a huge bandaid for a nickel!

It almost covers the knee to the ankle. :(

[Evoman]

57. Was it the size of a nickel or a dime bag.

Aww, I kid the first lady

[symbolman]

52. DEFINE Human Being.

I don't consider any of these people to be HUMAN, because first you must HAVE HUMANITY, and they have NONE at all.

I can't think of anything more fitting than for all of them to contract fatal diseases by the hand of God or Satan or whoever, brain cancer would be too good for someone like Bush, worked for Atwater tho..

Nice that Lee Atwater recanted all of his evil before he died, think HE went to heaven?

Fuck them, make them bury all their dead with a SPOON.

[tblue37]

59. It's not a serious sort of cancer.

I get little cancerous lesions removed from my skin all the time--3 so far. A very minor deal. Not life-threatening. Now, if it were melanoma I could understand your outrage. But this is not a major illness at all. People hear the word "cancer" and they assume it is life-threatening. that is not always the case.

[Straight Shooter]

5. They wouldn't get my sympathy if Cheney shot Barbara "bags" Bush in the face. n/t

[Tony_Illinois]

8. Well, now that's different....

that wouldn't even surprise me.

[symbolman]

53. For her

that would be an improvement :)

[Straight Shooter]

56. True.

But think of those poor wasted pearls. :cry:

[datadiva]

7. They probably waited to see if it was cancer

but you know what, I lost my health insurance and if I get it I will have no recourse but to go into debt up to my ears, after I've waited too long to do anything but die. These people have taught me to hate. Even my family has noticed what a negative attitude I have anymore. I used to look for the good in people. Not anymore, now I look for the things behind the words. I see the bad stuff before I see the good. I don't like these feelings at all.

[greenbriar]

32. no, you know they moved heaven and earth to find out the next week

not like us that would have to wait weeks


this was a deliberate dump

[symbolman]

54. I hope you're going to be alright my friend

don't worry about how you're feeling, it's perfectly normal, but also remember that you will be shown strengths within yourself that you never realized you have, that you can be proud of, and there will be Saints that will show up to help you, you may not recognize them now, but you will.

There are beautiful people walking the planet and they are there for you, just takes a lot of wading through bullshit to get to them :)

I know, I've met them, and they show up when it's the right time, be ready to accept them.

I wish you the best in any recovery, and happy holidays as well.

Don't forget to get yourself a little gift now and then, and be nice to yourself, even if it's just a cup of coffee or a piece of pie, okay?

[sandnsea]

9. Hey, it's 'no big deal'

Snowjob said so. :eyes:

Yeah, it's a very BIG deal to everybody else who won't get every test known to detect illness early. Insurance doesn't even guarantee that.

[zanne]

10. OMG

When I read "pickles cancer" I thought; "Oh great. Something else we can't eat anymore".

[QuestionAll...]

12. no, it's not true. speak for yourself.

I don't want to be included in your pointless hate.
I'm not going to go out of my way to feel sorry for her but there is no way I would post something as stupid and abrasive and pointless as this.

criminey, are there 3 full moons out lately, or what.

:hides thread:

[HysteryDiagnosis]

16. Ummmmm...... byeah.... must be.....

[greenbriar]

17. and further more...no more tests are needed and no Chemo

my hubby has pre-cancerous cells burnt off his arms all the time

[proud2BlibKansan]

22. LOL I just started a thread too

Is this just the most pathetic story or what?

You said it - FUCK THEM ALL.

[SoCalDem]

24. I'm with you.. She rarely wears skirts anyway.. How'd they even see it?

She could have kept wearing her slipcover sensible ugly pantsuits and no one would have ever even known..

[Virginia Dare]

26. I give less than a flying flip...

but maybe it will prompt some poor sap out there to get themselves checked out, like you said if they can afford it, that is.

[greenbriar]

35. I did not say I wished this on her, I said I don't give a FUCK

no it wasn't planned


but the news leak about it was!!!

[EvolveOrConvolve]

37. I have some personal sympathy for her

But unfortunately, it's hard to feel sorry for someone in her position. She is an aider and abetter.

[greenbriar]

38. my father died of leukemia

both my grandfathers died of cancer

my mom has emphasemia


My mom barely has money to live and can not afford her medication
thanks to all the new laws ect...


I don't give two shits that pickles had the best medical care available and has NO WORRIES>>>

[EvolveOrConvolve]

41. And that's why I have a hard time feeling much more than token sympathy

I have no medical care at all, and if I had to have surgery to remove a cancerous tumor from my skin, I probably wouldn't be able to afford to do it as quickly as I'd like. People with insurance have priority over the uninsured; people who can afford top-notch medical care get the highest priority.

[lonestarnot]

39. Heh heh heh kick and recommend!

[LoZoccolo]

46. Heh heh heh!

[seabeyond]

40. i hope she heals quickly and all is well n/t

[greenbriar]

42. she is already better and requires no further treatment

unlike Elizabeth Edwards who underwent months of Chemo

AND kept herself out of the limelight

[seabeyond]

dupe

[seabeyond]

51. i dont feel any need to compare one with the other. i dont see any need

to be ugly to anyone, not even laura.

[Kelly Rupert]

48. Yeah, but it's disgusting and inhuman when Freepers say the same

about our guys.

:eyes:

[SammyWinstonJack]

50. I don't give a rat's ass about her either and a whole lot of us wouldn't have

the money or insurance to get treatment and I doubt Pickles cares one bit about that. So, I agree, Fuck them all!

[greenbriar]

55. one more rec

please

[cboy4]

60. . . .

:eyes:

[earth mom]

61. I could care less myself.

It would be one thing if we had seen ANY compassion whatsoever from the * gang the past 6 years. But instead all they have done is exploit the victims of 9/11....a tragedy which they may be directly or indirectly responsible for which they used as an excuse to start the Iraq war which has lead to the deaths of thousands and thousands of innocent people. And how about those hurricane Katrina victims? Oh yeah, they were/are doing pretty well according to Babs. :wtf:

Sorry, but turning the other cheek for Karmas sake is a very weak argument considering the enormity of the * gangs crimes to humanity and the planet! :puke:

[Luminous Animal]

62. Nasty piece of crap this topic is.

To use a person's illness for political leverage.

Sure, the OP may be right about Republican's political motives. But the OP is playing right into their hands.

[Bluebear]

64. Consider the WH released it for political leverage.

Using it for ANYTHING on either side is pretty nasty, but they surely felt the need to release this info for a reason.

Having said that I am sorry Mrs. Bush experienced this and that's about it.

[Fly by night]

65. I wish we could excise the cancer that sleeps next to her every night.

For that particular virulent form of carcinoma on the heart of our country, too much radiation therapy is not enough.

[slackmaster]

67. You obviously care enough to post about her

If you really didn't care, you wouldn't have spent the time or energy to do so.
