John Edwards is using Christopher Reeves for political gain.

Hardball

[DoubleOJanet]

Did anyone see Hardball tonight?

[DoubleOJanet]

Chrissy Matthews showing a clip from I assume the campaign trail. John Edwards said that if John Kerry was elected President that people will get up out of there wheelchairs and walk! I hope this backfires on them. it's discusting. People would be better off using Granny's rumatize medicine, then vote for these desperate idiots that have no respect for the dead, or those who are in wheelchairs.

[Uncle Vlad]

It's starting to look like the Wellstone Memorial/Pep Rally in 2002. Yuk!

[Bahbah]

Yes, I saw the clip. It was beyond awful. I just have no words. This idiot thinks he should be the Vice President of the United States. God protect us.

[Azzurri]

Does anybody have a link to this clip? It sounds almost incredulous.

[Poohbah]

Edwards said that if John Kerry was elected President that people will get up out of there wheelchairs and walk!

Can we force this a$$hole's name to be legally changed to "Elmer Gantry?" He sure fits the revival-tent huckster mold...

[RoseofTexas]

WELL? Was chrissy disgusted with that comment? If not, forgetaboutit, the mediaWHORES won't hold him or sKerry accountable for comments that exploit Mr. Reeves! The only way is if Mrs. Reeves comes out and tell them to STFU! The mediaWHORES of course will hail this as a compassionate memorial from sKerry/silkygirl for Reeves! Mark it!

[SouthernFreebird]

It's obscene to sell hope to desperate people for a vote.

Joni Eareckson Tada, quadriplegic since 1967, discusses stem cell research (the truth about it) and Christopher Reeve. Nothing about electing Dems and instantly being healed, curiously ...

[Two Dawgs]

I heard on the radio today that Kerry said Reeves left him a voice message on Saturday thanking him for his work on stem cell, etc. This morning on Fox News I heard that Reeves went into a coma about four or five days ago and never regained consciousness...how could he have received a call on Saturday and died Sunday?

[CedarDave]

John Edwards said that if John Kerry was elected President that people will get up out of there wheelchairs and walk!

And if they don't, Edwards will sue the doctors. Grrrr.

[newheart]

Well, usually he sells it for money.

[clintonh8r]

Is anybody surprised? The RATs use dead people just like they use blacks....to promote their agenda in any way they see fit, as if they were RAT property.

[Paul Atreides]

Heck, Reeve was such a lefty, he would love it.

[kingattax]

are we really surprised that a sleazy lawyer is trying to

sell snake oil ?

[Republican Wildcat]

Every media report I have heard on this is a campaign advertisement for Kerry. There is not one where Kerry is not mentioned and Bush not attacked.

[takbodan]

I'm wondering if Kerry having been such a close friend of Christopher Reeve will attend the funeral?

[icecold]

damn...they have this on tape?

[joesnuffy]

I heard on the radio today that Kerry said Reeves left him a voice message on Saturday thanking him for his work on stem cell, etc. This morning on Fox News I heard that Reeves went into a coma about four or five days ago and never regained consciousness...how could he have received a call on Saturday and died Sunday?

Kerry is lying....as per usual.....and the MSM wont even take notice......who will fault a fellow rat for lying?

[Paul Atreides]

Where's the shock? After all, Rapunzel IS a trial lawyer.

[Bahbah]

I'm sorry that I don't. I just happened to surf over to Hardball for a moment. Edwards was at a campaign event. One of our ever amazing FReepers should be able to find it. I hope so, because it was just beyond the pale.
