Ignoring the likely is a hallmark of the left.

The left is having a field day with your comment.

I've referred her to your reply with a link and post number.

BTW, why did NakatuX quit?

oh, that's easy - because I locked her in my baseme- ER I MEAN I HAVE NO IDEA ONE DAY SHE WAS HERE AND THEN POOF SHE WAS GONE. ;)

Y'know, because, it must have been, like, a conspiracy, because nobody normally dies of pancreatic cancer.

Something tells me Bev Harris isn't the most innovative entrepreneur in this nation's history.

Apparently, gullibility predates the founding of DU

Your kidding me! You are talking about the one where I said that we should "jokingly" spread a rumor about Andy Stephenson faking his death. I said it to just tickle their chin! They fell for it! I got a hate mail last week from some lefty and I reported him to FR and AOL.

[KC_Conspirator]

I forgot to ask, did you see it over in DUmmyland?

[Straight Vermonter]

I have a "google alert" for the word freerepublic, that's how I came across the articles. There were several on lefty sites about Stephenson and they quoted your post.

A couple of them are still available.

Nice! Quoted by William "Hate America" Pitt and got a mention in the Seattle Times.

Given all the other financial scams the DUmmies eagerly fell for (some including Andy, I think), there was no reason to expect this one to be any different. There was/is nothing wrong with looking in on them and speculating they were getting scammed again and having a good laugh at it. As such, PJ Comix did nothing wrong in posting the FUnnies following this story.

There is another thread making wild accusations of actual interference of Andy's medical care and/or funds. I would hope that noone here is capable of anything so despicable, and I won't believe it until I see some proof.

It is tragic that Andy died from cancer, and I don't wish that on anyone. But like the boy who cried wolf, its hard to take it seriously when history tells us otherwise.
