our Andy lost his fight tonight at 9:27 pacific time
Ted asked me to tell you all..
ANDY SAID TODAY " I WANT TO LIVE ".....and he will in all of us.
I know I shouldn't do this, but I just can't resist. DUmmie J Durango came here to lecture us about karma and everything, so I got to thinking and decided to post the following. Unfortunately, the thread was pulled before I could post, but here goes...
Since DUmmies are so into alternate realities, let's take a look at what would have been said if Andy Stephenson were a conservative and it was being reported on DU:
" don't care what killed him, pancreatic cancer or the black plague, i'm glad he's dead and i don't care how many times i'm scolded or chastised for it." -DUmmie mopaul's reaction to Pres. Reagan's death, slightly adjusted to fit the situation
"Andy Stephenson Does Not Deserve Compassion"- headline of DU article by Dave Conroy regarding Rush Limbaugh's lack of hearing
"Lucifer has cancer..." No change needed, DUmmie nothingshocksmeanymore, in response to Laura Ingraham's breast cancer.
This brief look at an alternative reality brought to you by Hypocrisy: For when you just don't have any damned original ideas.
Andy Stephenson is/was a big DUmmie. His cause celebre was voter fraud... although not real voter fraud, the kind that actually influences elections. You know, illegitimate voters, felon voters, noncitizen voters, multiple voters, the kind of fraud that invariable benefits Democrats. No, Andy went after alleged voting machine fraud, claiming that electronic voting machines were not only vulnerable to massive fraud, but actually were fradulent in the 2004 election. He managed to embarrass himself by associating with Bev "$10 away from proving fraud" Harris, who later turned out to be somewhat of a crook.
Several months ago, appeals to assist Stephenson started showing up on DU. Apparently he had pancreatic cancer and needed $50,000 for a special procedure that could only be done at Johns Hopkins. The DUmmies raised the money, then people started whispering that maybe Stephenson wasn't on the up-and-up. Maybe it was all a big fraud. And maybe it was... but it definitely wasn't proven, and quite a few FReepers acted as though it had been. And now, apparently, he's dead.

They can't.
By the way-it's Friday!

Good examples. There are many, many more.

The cork is out of the bottle, and I am putting a few people on notice. You know who you are, you know what you did, and a good man has gone down in no small part because of you.
Throwing sand into the gears of the PayPal donations blew Andy off the surgery rotation, casusing him to have to wait a lot longer for his operation.
Spewing the claim time and again that the whole sickness was a fraud, very publicly and on as many blogs and boards as you could find, robbed Andy of the hope and will he needed to overcome this thing.
I think you fuckers should be forced to dig his grave. I think you should be buried with him.
I kept my mouth shut about you these last weeks because every time I said something about you or to you, you got a stiffy from the attention and ramped up your viciousness again. That's over with now.
I am going to make you famous in all the worst kinds of ways. I know your names, I know your addresses, I know your IP numbers, I have screen shots and copies of every vile statement and threat you ever made. I know everything I need to know. Get ready for the ram.
You are graveyard rats. I am going to grind you under my bootheel, scrape you off with a blade, and feed you to my cat.
One note to my fellow DUers: Leave off attacking the mods and admins at that "other" site. They were as disgusted by this as we were, but were hamstrung by the rules of their board which they take as seriously as the admins and mods here. They allowed me to post the documentary evidence over there, in no small part because they wanted the ugliness to stop. You may disagree with them, but they are good people.
They are not the ones who are on my list of things to do. Those on the list know who they are. Bad days are ahead for them. I promise.
We mourn for the next few days. We sing the songs of our friend.
And then we work.
Whatever happened to the ban on posting from DU anyway?
Ping to #52. Messr. Pitt is going to make you famous! Yawn.
BTW - Seattle Weekly has indeed posted a new article about Stephenson:

Whatever happened to the puppy?
Jeeze...Pitt was the first one I saw bring up the question of if Andy was on the up and up.
Now he wants to kill the non-believers?
By revealing this info, you have just sentenced the dear departed one (I think) to DU hell. Since he was/is a soddomite, can we rule out AIDs.
Nobody here gives a fecal lump.
What with the London bombings & the Code Pink Freep I hadn't kept up with this. Poor guy. I guess he just didn't realize how sick he really was.
That's one of the main reasons I thought it was a scam - everyone I've ever known who's had cancer has dropped EVERYTHING to attend to their health.
I'll keep him & his family in my prayers - illness overrides politics.
