Prognosis Usually Bleak for Condition, a Glioma

As a medical professional it is my professional opinion upon studying the location of the tumor and the type of tumor that it was caused by crushing empty beer cans against the side of the head.

"Is there some PC rule on FR that says that when an evil man gets sick, we must pretend he was saint?"

I was under the impression that comments weren't supposed to assert violence or acts of violence, nor profanity. So far I haven't heard anyone call Ted a profane word or name, nor have I read any comment proposing violence against his person.

[Pyro7480]

Pray for his coversion people!

"He’s lived a full 76 years. A privilege denied to untold millions."

No one in my immediate family has lived to be that age. Since longevity doesn't run in my family, I doubt I'll get to be that age either.

[Travis McGee]

Personally, I’d prefer to have seen him slip off a dock in a drunken stupor, and wrap himself up in a lobster pot line about ten feet underwater.

Maybe then, he’d get a flash of MaryJo’s face. At last.

[JOE6PAK]

Get your kicks in now gang. This thread wont last long.

[Conservomax]

Don’t like Ted, but this is a bad thing to happen to anyone. However, I would feel worse were he not a 76 year-old multi-millionaire.

[Travis McGee]

Why? The PC police?

Telling the truth is now verboten?

“You know, Hitler was great around children, and he really loved dogs. And that autobahn! Great highway!”

[Conservomax]

good point, how did he not drop dead of a heart attack 10 years ago?

[Graybeard58]

Is there some PC rule on FR that says that when an evil man gets sick, we must pretend he was saint?

Are you old enough to remember when JFK was assassinated? I am. He was a crappy president and then after his death, he was Saint JFK.

[mass55th]

Yep, I was in highschool when JFK was killed. I remember it like it was yesterday. Ah yes, the myth of Camelot. Another pile of crap sold by the media.

[neverdem]

Someone smarter than me said that, “the Lord works in mysterious ways.”

May God have mercy on him and his family.

[trumandogz]

Sure, and when the people over at DU say evil things about conservatives that have fallen ill, they are evil.

[Graybeard58]

Hitler was great around children, and he really loved dogs. And that autobahn! Great highway!”

And he made the trains run on time. Wait a minute, that was that other good fellow, Benito Mussolini.

[Travis McGee]

I'm not “saying evil things” about TK, I am honestly reporting his record.

If his record is evil, as in his cutting off funding to the RVN, then I will not apologize for being truthful.

If you want to be a PC lapdog, that's up to you. I'm not playing. TK did horrible, evil things during his entire career in the Senate. Many of America's current deep problems stem from bills he sponsored or supported.

And the millions murdered in SE Asia after his colossal act of treachery and dishonor are still dead.

[trumandogz]

I am not a big fan of Teddy’s either but he is in my prayers.

Was it Evil for Gov, Reagan to sign a bill liberalizing the California Abortion laws in 1967?

[Philo-Junius]

We all deserve death; it’s foolish to split hairs about who deserves to die first.

Not one Vietnamese or Cambodian will be brought back to life by whooping about the old man’s bleak prognosis.

[yldstrk]

Ted led a wasted life causing untold damage and destruction to millions.

[CalifChris]

Since Teddy is an Irishman I will wish him well.

[Wally_Kalbacken]

I'm not one of them either. The MSM will canonize him now that it appears he may be terminal, but even a simple random search though the C-SPAN archives would pick up some of Ted's vitriolic and personal attacks on Republicans, judicial nominees and conservative political leaders. I'm not keen on seeing anyone suffer this kind of fate, but we can pray for his physical recovery while retaining an objective, critical sense of revulsion at his tactics (e.g., the "Robert Bork's America" smear, etc., etc., etc., ad nauseum, ad infinitum).
