It has been somewhat quiet on the Andy Stephenson front during the past month of June but here it is the beginning of July and the Scamdy scandal is breaking out all over again. The latest outbreak is in the Seattle Weekly magazine as you can see in this ARTICLE titled, “Two Cases of Bile” which is also the title of this DUmmie THREAD discussing the article. I urge everybody out there to read this Seattle Weekly article in that it provides great laughs in the Whitewash Dept.. Most particularly this line from the article, “’He has pancreatic cancer,’ says Johnson.” So is Johnson some qualified physician finally giving us assurance of the true nature of Scamdy’s condition? Nope. Johnson was a nurse practitioner who became a primary care provider for Scamdy. I think I have problems with my kidneys so I guess I’ll be consulting a nurse practitioner for a diagnosis. As usual the gullible DUmmie weepings (sans any commentary from Pied Piper Pitt or Skinner) is in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, wondering if the Scamdy fraud trial will take place in Washington state or Maryland, is in the [brackets]:
Good article from a good paper. Would freerepublic raise 50,000 dollars if one of them needed it? I doubt it.
[Gullible article from a gullible paper. The Free Republic would NOT allow the recipient of medical funds to receive $50,000 without the slightest bit of accountability as your gullible Skinner has done.]
It would never occur to them to do so Personal responsibility and all that sort of thing!
[Personal ACCOUNTABILITY and all that sort of thing. Skinner allowed DUmmieland to be scammed by a con artist ONCE AGAIN.]
No one ever claimed to be professional fund raisers.
[And DUmmieland is certainly an amateur act thanx to Skinner. It’s gonna be a lot of fun watching both Skinner and Pied Piper Pitt sweating bullets on the witness stand during the Scamdy trial.]
think someone else said this - it was really DU's finest hour. The freepers must be jealous.
[The Freepers are jealous that you put on a better comedy act than anything they could come up with. The way you DUmmies were so easily SCAMMED is a comedy act that is hard to top.]
I hope we can finally end this controversy.
[Pied Piper Pitt certainly does since his worrying over this scandal has caused him to stay awake since April.]
I don't get it. How can this Grady guy claim that Andy "defrauded" anyone if the money was given freely and voluntarily for a medical emergency that has been confirmed and surgery that has been performed?
[Um…Duhhhh!!! Maybe because Scamdy claimed to have pancreatic cancer in order to raise big bucks when he really suffered from something different which did NOT necessitate surgery at Johns Hopkins.]
I never quite understood the Bev Harris thing.
[It’s simple. She scammed you DUmmies and then her assistant, Andy, turned around and scammed you AGAIN.]
I don't get it, either...I believe the ones of us who contributed to Andy were more concerned with getting his surgery done in time to worry too much about how professional the fund raising was.
[Yeah, it’s really “tough” to simply have a third party, such as Skinner, collect the money for Scamdy.]
Hold the flames, but… Something about the article doesn't quite read right, although the generally sorry state of medical reporting could be the cause. My cousin died of pancreatic cancer a few years ago and I spent weeks on the Internet trying to find something, anything, that offered hope. But pancreatic cancer is usually diagnosed only after it has already metastasized. No one has ever been confirmed as surviving metastasized pancreatic cancer. Never heard of treating it with radiation, and I think that surgery is fairly rare. Often the only treament is a chemo protocal know as Gemzar(sp?), which only provides comfort, not recovery.
[And this DUmmie WINS an Andy Stephenson Kewpie Doll for having a brief moment of mental clarity for realizing that something is not quite right about this article.]
don't believe his has metastasized and when it comes to pancreatic cancer, they are continuing to make strides. His tumor was encapsulated.
[Skinner has been encapsulating any mention of “pancreatic cancer” in DUmmieland and tombstoning it.]
Fred Grady has been exposed as a Moran and that will follow him for the rest of his life. Does the idiot still have his web site up?
[Yes. http://www.scamdy.com. Visit it and you might learn something. And the threads in the discussion forum are NOT locked as Skinner tends to down when “pancreatic cancer” is mentioned too much in DUmmieland.]
I suppose now that it is proven Andy has cancer they will accuse us of stealing a tumour and implanting it in Andy.
[A nurse practitioner diagnosed pancreatic cancer. I’m CONVINCED!!!]
Because the Freepers want Andy to die. I'm now convinced that that is the reason.
[Actually we want Andy to LIVE and testify In court as to how easily he scammed the DUmmies with the aide of the incredibly gullible Skinner and that hapless cheerleading fool, Pied Piper Pitt.]
Why would someone pay for a site just to attack Andy and his friends? That is what blew me away.. that this accountant fellow (freeper) would actually spend his own money to take out a website like that. Does that man not have any clients? Hope his clients realize what a putz he is and what a bad head for money he apparently has.
[Maybe he wants the world to know how easily conned the DUmmies were by scam artist Andy.]
Do you think this article will help shut them up? It proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that Andy really does have cancer, did have surgery and is still recovering. You would think this would be the end of scamdy.
[Only the end of the beginning of Scamdy. Now the fun begins as more spotlight is shined on Andy’s scam. As to it proving “beyond a shadow of doubt” that Andy had pancreatic cancer, are you in the habit of turning to nurse practitioners for a medical diagnosis of something that could be life threatening?]
Fantastic journalism. Obviously this kind of journalism can only be done these days at an independent weekly, since it doesn't manufacture moral equivalence between Andy and the jackals who accuse him of faking his cancer. The reporter actually did the hard work of seeing for himself. My best to Mr Stephenson for a speedy recovery.
[That reporter deserves a Pulitzer Prize for going no further than a nurse practitioner to obtain a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer for Scamdy.]
I think I may just go visit Stanton. Who wants to come along? When we get there we can play baseball. So bring your bat! We could also go pheasant hunting along the way, so bring your shotgun and some birdshot. And then we can take Mr. Grady out for coffee and settle our differences in a civilized manner. Sounds like a fun trip, no?
[Sounds like a death threat, yes? And it WILL be used as evidence at your trial, Dummie benburch. I repeat, DUmmie benburch.]
They keep harping on the "Three Questions" Well here's my answer WHO THE F*CK ARE YOU TO DEMAND AN ANSWER TO ANYTHING YOU FREEPER SCUMBAGS?!?! WHAT DOES ANDY OWE YOU AN EXPLANATION FOR?
[LOL!!! Ignorance, thy name is DUmmie.]
I'm in the second group.
”Another group appears to be people who are rightfully concerned about Internet scams.”
And I think there's a lot of people in this group with me.
[LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!!]
are you saying you think this was a scam?
[DUhhhhh!!!]
Left-Wing Web site? whoever wrote that doesn't read this site very carefully...
[LOL!!! FUnniest DUmmie line of the week!]
f*ck cancer, and f*ck freepers... I didn't know Andy had had complications. I hope he is feeling and doing better soon, and isn't listening to all the negative crap. I don't care one bit that this wasn't done the usual way, it was an unusual circumstance, with little to no time to plan. I was happy to donate, and still am happy I did.
[I don’t care that Andy scammed me and I would be happy to be conned again!]
I'm not completely up to date on what's going on, but I do know that I stumbled upon a post by WilliamPitt that was demanding answers from Andy because, according to him, the whipple procedure was not done. Has the story changed?
[Pied Piper Pitt “cleared” it up by posting a FAX document from late April claiming that Scamdy’s “pancreatic cancer” surgery was scheduled for the week of May 23 even though at the time of the FAX, the surgery was scheduled for early May and wasn’t rescheduled until AFTER the FAX was sent. Oh, and this is one big reason why Pitt has been completely SILENT about Scamdy recently. I notice that Pitt didn’t even sign on to Scamdy’s get well card in DUmmieland.]
So which is it, cancer, which is by definition malignant--indeed, pancreatic cancer, which is quick and fatal-- or "benign cancer" < /oxymoron>? Can you guys get your stories straight? Which script is it today?
Literally. It is filled with fantasy.
I will agree that it was done weakly.
If it is indeed an encapsulated 'malignant' tumor of the pancreatic duct, then by deifinition it is not 'pancreatic cancer'. Maybe the story should be revised to 'cancer near the pancreas'. I can see it now... sfxpat... I didn't mean to say pancreatic cancer.. I meant to say 'near the pancreas'.
Yeah, FReepers are uncaring, rich, and would NEVER donate money to help another.
< /sarcasm>
And we all here, all along, have wished Andy nothing but good health. I am absolutely serious in saying that. And I have said all along that I think Andy is sick with . . . something. Possibly even, now, some form of cancer. I, along with all of us here, do sincerely wish Andy well physically.
But that doesn't erase all the red flags that have surrounded this whole situation from the get-go. Nor the blatant HYPOCRISY of you verifiability mavens who can't stand a taste of your own medicine.
"Hi, Andy really, REALLY, has pancreatic cancer, REALLY!"
Oh, dirtybenburch, you have just crossed a very serious line. Not-so-veiled threats of murder will not be taken lightly.
Who is it who are the murderers?
I just don't understand why it bothers so few people over there that the guy's sitting on a quarter mil in equity in his house, yet begs for money all over the internet. And somehow we're all evil because we think that's shabby?
If MY husband were sick and we had no insurance, I'd empty my 401k, I'd refinance the house to take some of the equity out to pay for it. I damn sure wouldn't be asking people living on fixed incomes to pitch in to cover it. I'd sell everything I owned outright & sleep on my sister's couch before I'd let my husband go without emergency medical treatment. I guess his relationship with Termite isn't quite that solid.
I don't think he's per se conning them - I think it just never occurred to him to make any changes in his lifestyle to take care of his own needs. It's someone else's responsibility, always, which is the underlying principle of the whole Democratic Party.
But, as I said at the beginning of all this, money they send Andy is money that's not going to candidates. So that's fine, and we should get out of their way while they continue their self-destruction.
franksolich is usually online by this time. Now I'm getting worried. Especially in light of that IDIOT, DUmmie benburch's death threats.
That's franksolich's term, and I agree that they are important and penetrating questions. I myself see . . .
Four main issues in the Andy Stephenson Situation:
1) Pre-appeal diagnosis of pancreatic cancer
2) Financial need
3) Need for the surgery to be done at JHH
4) Accounting of all funds raised and spent
I don't get it. The nurse practicioner said Andy had cancer. Then the reporter said he/she sat in the hospital room while surgeons/residents discussed his cancer with him. But then the reporter said that the diagnosis is UNCLEAR?? HUH!
Andy has admitted having: a) with his "spouse," termite, a house appraised at over $400,000, b) stock market earnings, c) gold stashed away, and d) a $70,000 inheritance.
Now you would think that with all that loot, Undie and termite together could at least afford health insurance, and even the $50,000 for the needed life-or-death surgery. And then there is Undie's well-heeled pal, millionaire author Gore Vidal ("GV," as Undie calls him), who could have covered the whole kit-and-kaboodle without batting a mascara'ed eyelash. And of course, Undie could have had this done for free or at low cost at fine, state-of-the-art facilities in the state of Washington.
Of course they COULD have afforded it - but why spend your own money when it's so easy to get it from others?
I think Andy learned that during the BBV thing. Set up a website with a link to your paypal account, ask for donations and the money rolls in from the impulse givers, ten bucks here, twenty bucks there. Andy & Co. got all their buds to put links to his paypal account on their websites, too.
I've done some impulse giving myself - a lot of blogs have links to their paypals, and if it's well written & I'm in the mood, yeah, I'll buy the guy a beer for the entertainment. It's only a couple of bucks, but if 3 people a day like your blog enough to buy you a beer, that's an extra $100 in your wallet every month.
I know that was 'toungue in cheek' but there are many instances of people posting that they donated hundreds of dollars at a time. And there are the 'multiple donators' who may be donating $5 or $10 at a time, but are doing it on an ongoing basis. The money fountain has not shut off. Actually there are DUers who are donating almost out of spite for FR, Scamdy.com and SilenceoftheScams.
Have they been asking for donations to help with UNdie's recovery?
"Or perhaps franksolich did see this thread and is now busy contacting the authorities to get an arrest warrant on DUmmie benburch"
I hope he is. benburch throws threats around like candy. I would like to see him get what he deserves.
Somebody posted that the ex-wife of a friend of his had donated her past two child support checks to Andy, and he wondered should he tell his friend. I've known too many single moms struggling to make ends meet to be very happy about a guy who's sitting on a pile of cash, but will take food literally out of the mouths of children rather than get up off any of his own money.
Incestuous sheep f*ckers . . . these slimy f*cks . . . Ultra-F*cking D**chebag . . . stinking worthless f*cking freepers . . . those evil F&%#S . . . you f*cking a**hole! . . . you worthless sh*t! . . . dipsh*t . . . WHO THE F*CK ARE YOU . . . G*d d*mmit . . .
Well, I see goodlittleboy is having trouble controlling the Tourette's Syndrome today. Must be off his meds.
Hi, goodlittleboy! Say, are you going to be autographing your picture for me anytime soon?
